For darius -
I really am sorry that I hurt your feelings - didn't mean to do that. Didn't mean to start discussion here. Being emotional is not a good thing, just like not washing your hands - you're right. If you don't have control over yourself, (or over your life) - then someone else does. believe me.
And I don't think that killing (men or women) is allowed for anybody - muslims, christians, buddists, zoroastrists etc. For those who converted from Islam to another religion - I heard that in some countries this is dangerous - and I think because of people (again - stupid ignorant people) - but this is fanatism. Why number of fanatics in Islam more then number of fanatics in any other confessions? Maybe because that ones who are born muslims (stupid expression - everybody born as muslims, then comes THe Church and everything people are taught by those who beside them) - more emotional then others? I don't know - I really don't know. What I know is that this system is totally different (as you said), and I believe to God who said - eye for an eye, arm for an arm, wound for wound (same size and place that was cut) and life for life. But if somebody would forgive and doesn't crave for revange - it's better for him. - And I think it's pretty fair. (Although you or some people won't like it).
This forum is not a place for religious discussions - this is just to say a word of support for those who need it or just to bla bla bla -
In the end, they are all 1 God. What was so wrong with being Catholic?
- nothing personal, Filios, but if you can't see the difference nobody can do that for you. If you're ok with that - just leave it, this is not for you.
I know I'm doing something I shouldn't do writing in this forum and talking to people who don't give a sh..t about what they are talking about. But I think this is my last message here, so I will tell my little story in a few words -
I was a musician, playing in the band, touring other countries and enjoying life to the brim (as what I thought).
I was very spiritual from the beginnig, of cause didn't believe in God - believed in Spirit, was interested in shaman practice, in some old mistic technics and smiled to those who believed - explaining them (depending on their education level) why there's no God but A Power in the Universe. For many years day by day I practised some technics that allowed me doing some things that would seem very unusual to say the least to ordinary man. I traveled to Mexico seeking this knowledge, and I thought this is the only thing the human being has as aim in his life - to see Reality and to be closer to Reality, because ordinary people as far from Reality as they could be - they live in their own constructed world. Those who studied psychology knows that - this world is not that we see by our eyes.
Then I married a girl, which was saved by Islam - Islam saved her life, literally.
She was Christian before, but as many Christians who think and seek the truth, she was many years studiing religions and everything that connected to it. She feeled taht something was wrong with Christianity, something was not REAL.
I don't like to talk much about it. I'm a happy man, very happy, and I thank God who eventually directed me on the road. And I'm going to stay on this road, whatever happens. There are so many ways that leads to God - my was very complicated.
I wish to those who are there to hear - don't lose your energy, listen to your heart, be strong and remember that our days are counted. Every day could be the last - keep this thought in mind, it helps a lot - and some day the connection will be made, just don't lose it once you found it.
Was very nice being here, thanks to everybody.
