[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow...people on DCUM are really way out of line. I haven't posted in this thread for a while now - I am the poster from Germany.

I am not an atheist.
I am not a Muslim.
I am not Jewish.
I have not posted in any other threads in the religion forum and have never said anything against Christians.
I am not the poster who replied after my post identifying myself as German.

I can NOT believe how many hateful assumptions are being made here. The only thing I have said is instead of focusing on getting each other out of each others religions and trying to get each other into our own religions - why don't we all focus on being as good of a person as we can be and serve God the best we can? That's all I said. I find all the hate quite amusing...it sure doesn't yell "Good Christian" to me.

And just to clarify: I am German. I am catholic. I firmly believe in God - I do not believe in the Church as an institution. I live my life the way I think God wants me to live it. Not the way some church tells me to. And that's what I wish everyone else would do. Then there wouldn't be so much hate and arguing between all the different churches and we could all go back to just being good Christians.[/quote]
You sound like a pure Protestant![/quote]

Nope. Small "c" catholic means more in the way of "universal." She's developed her own brand of spirituality ("I live my life the way I think God wants me to live it") even as she repeatedly bashes other people for choosing different churches.

Her issue is with institutions like churches. She claims the world would be protected against "hate and arguing" if everybody eschewed institutional religions and simply developed their own interpretations of Christianity -- just like she does, surprise.

I don't buy it for a second. Think of all the damage, hate and arguing perpetrated by extremist individuals acting alone - religious and atheists alike.[/quote]

PS. Whatever German PP thinks she's doing spiritually, it doesn't seem to protect her from thinking her way is the "right" way and everybody else is wrong. Go back a few pages to 06/14/2014 @ 14:49 to get a typical (just one of many) example of her tone. Christian? Judge for yourself.[/quote]
