Reply #32: Christianity pushed to the margins . . . [View All]

"But he also echoed Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger(SEE LINK BELOW FOR MORE ABOUT RATZINGER!!!!), a leading contender to be the next Pope, who said last month that parts of Europe were so now secular that Christianity was being pushed into the margins."

The VERY LAST thing I want to know about any person is what his religion is or whether he even has a religion at all. Diplays of one's own religion, or one's own "virtue," for all the world to see only breeds resentment.

A couple of weeks ago, I remember posting that I managed to go all the way through school without ever knowing once the religion of any of my teachers. I knew the religion of some of the kids and their families, because occasionally I went to their church. No one that I can remember wore his religion on the outside. I never heard anything disparaging about any of the religions. I can't help but believe that the need of some to publicize their religious beliefs only serves to create tension and disagreement. Therefore, don't brag about your Christianity, your Judaism, your atheism, your paganism or anything else, for that matter. Then no one will have reason to resent you or your self righteousness. So, pushing ALL religious belief (for and against) to the margins, would probably be the sensible thing to do.
