I just lost a little faith in humanity

"Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down"

What would be so important that you would need to bum-rush a Wal-Mart at 5am.... Apparently 2,000 people needed stuff so badly that they broke down the doors to a Wal-Mart and trampled one of the employees. Has our society gotten so focused on having the latest "stuff" that we don't notice that we're stepping on and killing a fellow human? What would Christ think of this behavior? Wasn't it Him that cleared the temple of the people selling their goods? Wasn't it Him that said that love one another as you love yourself? I don't think trampling a man while you're trying to get more stuff is loving one another. How odd is it that the word "stuff" is coming up in the blog.... I'm starting to think that the reason for the season is becoming "stuff." What can I have that will make me happy? What's the newest thing that I can have that I'll appreciate for all but a day and then forget about it? Christmas has become so commercialized that it's lost it's real meaning, the birth of Christ and loving one another. I know I've been guilty and am guilty of the whole wanting new stuff, and I think that it's human, but to get that new stuff, do you have to trample a human to death?

Fundamental Islam is not a religion? What?

"Islam, at least fundamental Islam, is not a religion. It is a political system who's goal is world domination."

That's an exact quote from Pat Robertson of the 700 Club. I was watching tv a few weeks ago, and came across the 700 Club and decided to watch because they were talking about Islam. Not long after I started watching, the above quote was said. The quote made me quite angry, and I ended up calling the 700 Club prayer line to voice my concern about this misquote. I ended up talking to a little old lady, God bless her heart, and we had about a 15 minute conversation/argument about how that statement was false. It ended up with her telling me "the only thing Muslims want to do is kill Christians and Jews"

I will admit, that Islam is sometimes used for political causes, but so is Christianity. I will also admit, that some very violent things have been done in the name of Islam, but some very violent things have also been done in the name of Christianity, The Crusades in particular. Why did The Crusades happen? One reason is because Christians wanted to recapture the Holy Land from Muslims.

All I'm saying, is that if you're going to bash another religion, do your research....

I love the band The Myriad.
