(3,991 posts)Yes, I remember Christ on the crucifix. I hear you saying that Allah wouldn't have had his forth prophet crucified, but stop beating on me.
Yes, I find wisdom in Kabbalah. Yes, I know Judaism doesn't consider Christ to be the son of God. But stop whipping me for finding truth with Rabbis.
Yes I find beauty and connection with the divine in the writings of the Sufis, but please stop calling me a terrorist.
Yes, I believe Genesis describes the origins of the human soul not the human body, yes I believe the world is millions not thousands of years old. But stop condemning me for finding truth in science.
Yes, my worship has an eastern flavor, believing God to be a transcendental force we can reach through inner peace and meditation, rather than a worldly one. But stop calling me a devil.
Yes, I believe in God, I believe this spiritual force exists. But please stop calling me an idiot.
I'm bashed on all sides by forces who want me to change how I think so I see it in their narrow way, yet I stayed anchored in my beliefs. The way toward truth is in discussing and sharing, not attacking.
