If you actually think that our efforts to proselytize the world through
our teaching efforts is "forcing" our religion on anyone, you need to
STOP reading ANYTHING, since voice and writing all ideas are propagated
by these means. In fact, your efforts to convert me (you will be
totally unsuccessful, since I know the truth) by your lies could easily
be construed to be "proselytizing". So YOU are doing exactly what you
accuse ME of doing. This makes YOU a complete HYPOCRITE.)

Those were MY words, not Christ's. Right now, I want to completely
wipe you, and all those like you, off the face of the earth, since you
are so despicable (I am, after all, a human being like all human
beings).

However, Jesus enjoins me to forgive you, and to speak kindly to you,
at this current time. The day will come when He will judge all men.
Until then, however, He is offering you mercy, not judgment. So I am
out of line in speaking of His judgement. I ask you to forgive me for
my words.

Jesus tells us "If you are not for Me, you are against Me." If you
admit that you are "anti-Christian\" (your words from above), you are
obviously "anti-Christian". It doesn't matter that you are also
"anti-anthing else." You are STILL "anti-Christian", by your own
admission.

While "religion" is "forbidden" in the classrooms of public schools,
"anti-religion" obviously is not, since that is what they teach there.

"Silence"? What "silence" are you talking about? The public schools in
America are FILLED with anti-Christian teaching. You are an obvious
example of an anti-Christian having been given his current mind-set by
the Public Schools.

Obviously, you have no idea what "reason" means.

I have no concern for how "idiotic" I may sound to you, or to anyone
but Christ. St. Paul tells us quite clearly that "The preaching of the
Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing." So we expect
responses like yours, since the entire world is perishing along with
you. In fact, it is belief systems such as yours which speed the
perishing of the world. So receiving a response like yours is not
surprising in the least. My only concern is that I speak the truth.
The truth will defend itself to an honest man. Perhaps you just aren't
an honest man.
