Faith in WHAT may I ask? In a loving and merciful God who wipes out eight innocent people in the most horrific way possible? Methinks faith in that God would be sadly misplaced.

I've always believed that "world peace" begins in each individual's heart. To be more at peace with yourself is to allow more peace into the world. You matter too, you know. Peace... Heidi Yes, Heidi, I agree with you... as the old song goes... "Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment - now". The problem is - how do you teach this philosophy to the chest-beating, bible-thumping 18-20 year olds who think that they are personally responsible to seek revenge for the people who were killed on September 11? How do you make them see that when you fight hate with more hate that HATE always wins? How do you teach people like that to (as their Bible says), "love thy enemy?" Em Be careful what you wish for.... |
