Hi Shannon,

No, you are rewording his statement.. and you are making a mistake in your
rewording.

He said:

Bjorn>> I hate every, Jew, Muslim, Christian or wharever that uses his God to
Bjorn>> hide behind to justify their own means.

Does that say he hates ALL Jewish people, or ALL muslims, or ALL Christians?

Does it say that if one believes in any God, that he hates them?

No, it does not.

It says he hates anyone (regardless of religious flavor) who uses God to
rationalize his or her wrong behavior.

Historical events come to mind:  the Inquisition, the destruction of the
American Indian's homeland.. the Holocaust against the Jewish people.. all
events that were terrorism done for the 'sake of god'... and incredibly wrong. 
People "hiding behind their god" if you will.

I don't agree with you there.

I've seen some state they don't believe in God, so what?  I've seen Michiel say
it perhaps more than others.  It's not a big deal.

It's how people ACT that counts, not what they proclaim or deny regarding their
"beliefs".

> So, by saying one is a Christian (as I have), then he

It's not a physical thing, it's rhetorical.

> I'm not the best Christian, and as a matter of fact, I'm defunked in many
>aspects because I tend to cuss too much -- drink a little, and I'm divorced.
> Realizing this, he still continues to accuse me of "hiding behind my god".

Your habits of drinking or cussing are not a sign of whether you are of a
Christian state of mind.. You are human, after all <g> it's one's actions
towards others,  and one's attitude that people react to though.

> Therefore, since he accuses all Christians of hiding behind their god, and

No, that is not logical.  Read your statement above again.  Your first premise
if faulty.


Take care,
Janis
