With so much going on in the world, so many causes that need passionate people...
Last night I saw Nightline, and there is a group of Evangelicals that go to a Mormon convention every year to try and convert the Mormons to "true" Christianity. There was a man yelling at a teenage kid, "Your Jesus is not the real Jesus. He is the brother of the Devil!"
...?
Another woman said she felt sorry for the Mormons because they had been deceived.
I wonder if these evangelicals know that people think THEY have been deceived. Just a thought.
There are so many problems... problems people are dealing with here and now. People are hurting right now. I guess I don't understand putting all of our efforts toward people who aren't sick, poor, or enslaved just because you don't agree with their religious views. Are you kidding?
I suppose they are trying to save these people from some sort of awful afterlife... there are people, though, suffering a horrible LIFE, current life, and I think our efforts would be best used in that direction. We know this life exists... we are here, now, living it. Some people are not living it well. Let's help them before we worry about a supernatural life a good part of the population doesn't even believe exists, while everyone else is stil debating what it looks like or how you get there. There is no debate that people are suffering right now. Let's start here, shall we?
