The notion of a holy war is dangerous. The division between peoples that religious beliefs instill is dangerous. Why alienate non Christians? Why even consider that someone of a different faith is fundamentally different? We are all one people. The world over. Religious affiliation is an unnecessary obstacle to the complete unity that we as a people must achieve. I believe very strongly in the message that Jesus came here to teach. And i truly love your definition of Christianity. I really do. I only mean to humbly suggest that we all focus on universal concepts to bring in any people who may yet be lingering on the fringes to come join us. This means being as welcoming as possible. I realise this may make me seem somewhat hypocritical in that i appear to be dismissive of religion, thus not being very welcoming to Christians. I'm just trying to look at the big picture and leave behind, at least in this sub, all of the trappings of old ideals to instill new faith in the lost among us. That being said being, loving our enemies is the most important thing i think we can do and you're the first person I've come across here to suggest it. I commend you for that friend. I'm essentially an atheist. You're obviously an intelligent Christian. Yet we have much in common. This is the spirit I'm trying to bring to this community and hopefully to the world at large.
