I am a very “intellectual” person, I tend to surround myself with people who “add” something to my life, people who I can learn from.
In May, I went on a field trip with my colleagues and one morning, a few of us sat down around a table and an interesting topic came up, RELIGION.
I’m a Christian, no doubt but I’m very open to learning about other religions. I mean, whatever you believe in, there must be a reason why and I want to know that reason. I want to learn.
However, I have realized (I didn’t really take note of this until the field trip) that many Christians do not even want to hear of any other religion and I’m saying this because on that day, the Christians around that table didn’t want to hear a word about other religions and I really do not think that is right.
What you think is wrong might be right to other people and I’m not saying you should drop your opinion, I’m just saying that you should at least listen to what the other person has to say and how sure are you that what you believe in is right anyway? What makes you so sure? Why do you not want to hear what makes the other person so sure of what he/she believes in? Oh come on.
Jesus didn’t condemn anybody. Nobody at all.
As Christians we accept ourselves whether Baptist or Anglican or Catholic or Methodist or Eckists and the list goes on and on. We are diverse even as one.
Why do we not want to learn about other religions? Does that make us sinners? I just want to know.
