This morning when I hopped online to catch up on my news. Thank goodness for yahoo or I wouldn’t know what the heck was going on in the world. Anyway I read an article about a shooting at a Christian Ministry in Arvada, CO (part of Denver).
Now my mother just called me to tell me about a shooting that took place at New Life Church (North side of Colorado Springs). Hey I am all for people’s second amendment rights, but please resist the urge to reorganize religion by killing off the people who are trying to get close to God.
I personally do not attend church. I think some of the biggest hyprocrites can be found in church, but I do believe in God and I do believe that people have a right to express their religious belief anyway they feel the need to. All I ask is that you allow me to do the same.
I also read how Germany is trying to ban Scientology. I admit that I know absolutely nothing about it except that Tom Cruise is big into it. Fine by me. Live on Tom, may the force be with you. But the question I have to ask is why is Germany so afraid of Scientology? Have they made some overt bid to take over the government? I am not so sure I would trust the judgement of the German government, after all Hitler really was not that long ago!! As since I was born in Germany I know that if Hitler had won the war I would not exist today.
All I am trying to say is that if you have a specific problem with a religion, first educate yourself about the religion and then talk to members of that religion and try to reach a compromise. Stop trying to settle everything with bullets!
