Thank you, Kenneth
The author of this article is one of the most hypocritical persons I have ever encountered. I read a few articles written by this person. According to him, we all have worth and values. At the same time, we are worthless creatures and deserve to suffer for eternity unless we accept Jesus as a savior. Sorry, you can’t have it both ways.
Telling people that they are sinful creatures who have inherited original sin from Adam and Eve is both racist and hateful.
What this man doesn’t understand is that many cultures in the world don’t have this concept of original sin or salvation. Trying to convince me that I am a wretch who deserves to be squashed by Yahweh is clearly denying my cultural values. I simply don’t have that religious concept of sin and that word is not taken lightly in my cultural context. Unless you do something really appalling, imposing the word sin on you is extremely insulting.
In the end, this author is not different from West Boro people. He endorses the idea that you and I, who are not Christians, deserve to be tortured for eternity simply because we don’t believe in Jesus. He simply says it in a nice manner for the sake of political correctness. This is so insidious.
Thank goodness, most Americans I have encountered are either open-minded or knowledgeable like you. I’m lucky not to deal with people who use passive aggressive tactic to proselytize like this person.
