Reply #15: NOT THE BEATITIUDES

[EnoughOfThis]

I can appreciate that you may be atheist or hate Christianity and you are free to do that in this country.....of course in the Middle East, you are not permitted to say these things about Islam (you are restricted from even bringing a Bible into Saudi Arabia and gays are marked for death in many Arab countries). However, from a Christian and historic perspective, your revised Sermon on the Mount (whatever the hell "sermon on the plain" is????) is garbage. First of all, it is "Blessed are the poor IN SPIRIT", not blessed are the poor. There is nothing moral about being poor or rich, but it is based on how we act. However, you confidence that everyone is wrong but you, might be a problem, in terms of "spirit". Also, there was no negative Sermon on the mount (23 - 26).....never happened. You may have hope that it did or someone with an agenda may have made it up, but it doesn't exist. This is my problem with the so-called "intelligent design" movement. There is no way that I would want an idiot like you teaching people about my faith.

Feel free to do what you want in life, but don't use my faith to defend yourself.....while criticizing it.
