You reduce what I see as the real living God to my "personal God" - that's your perception discriminating over mine. You have absorbed my way of looking at the world INTO your own.
That's Ok I undertand and expect you to d ...[text shortened]... what? You think I am wrong , I think you are wrong. Who's discriminating against who?
At first, KM, when I 'm talking over here about "discrimination" I don't mean the "discrimination of the evil and of the good" but rather I imply the quality of racism -of a racism which it has nothing to do with ethnotic differences but it is associated with the religious differencies.
Surely I have not absorbed your way of looking into my world!
All these months, along with epi, you try constantly to show that solely some specific Christians can be "righteous". You keep up repeating that, these specific Christians (which BTW they have the same denomination and they accept the same religious doctrines as you) are righteous just because they have accepted a specific religious doctrine. This specific docrtine in your opinion is the Ultimate Truth, but unfortunately there is no rational way for you to proove that your opinion is correct -you believe it because you choose to believe it because this is the way You like it, period. And then you try to persuade everybody to bow to Your Ultimate Truth!
You fail to understand that when you discriminate the people to "righteous by your god" and to "non-righteous by your god", then you are a racist, for the "non-believers" can surely be "righteous by god" -they just happen to believe not to your personal "god", or to have a different denomination than yours, or to have a different religion than yours, or they may have no religion at all.
Also you fail to understand that anybody, regardless his religion, can claim exaclty the same as you -he can claim that the righteousness (as you pose it) it derives solely form his personal "god". In such a case, which way would you treat such an interlocutor?
I am indifferent to your "personal god", to every "god" and to every kind of theism, atheism included; but when you claim that "you are a man of virtue and of righteousness thanks to your religion", and when epi claims that "solely a truly born by God Christian is a man of righteousness as known by John" etc, then this is racism and BS big timeπ
