What a tolerant, peaceful person you sound like, Nan. You sound like a spitting cobra, to use one of Sparky's favorite expressions. Watch your bloodpressure.

The way I see it, Nan thinks that by being tolerant of rude people (like her friend Mustapha who is degrading all women, last Vanessa on the Jerusalemposts.com) and rude religions of all variations, she will go to Heaven. Unfortunately for her, it doesn't work that way. God does not accept sin, and He sacrificed His only son so that our sins could be washed away. However we need to accept that they need to be washed away and Nanette doesn't think this is necessary.

At least you seem to be more tolerant of Christians than Nanettte, who seem to hate all true Christians with a vengeance. The only Christians she accept are those who don't believe in Jesus Christ as Son of God! sic In other words, nominal Christians but not real Christians.

And as you say, it is true that God makes no difference between Greek and Jew. Therefore Nanny's accusations of bigotry are simply false, but what can you expect from her? It is fine to say that she is sophisticated but again, unfortunately for Nan, God is the judge of that. I don't think he will be very impressed by her censorship of Christians and laissez-faire attitude towards Muslims who delight in degrading women, like her dear friend Mustapha. My wish for Nanny is that she would go to Maroc and experience first-hand what fine and upstanding people the Muslims are. Hopefully she'll get home in one piece if the star of David is not too prominently displaced. It can be viewed as "disrespect" by her hosts. Actually anything less than converting to Islam will be regarded as "disrespect" - the Muslims are a sensitive bunch of people and they make up their own rules. Forget about the Ten Commandments.

You are confusing judging whether a religion is false or not and judging a person.

Honestly, I have to admit, I don't find the Book of Ogou very credible. I know I should be accepting and respectful of Ogou but give me a break, sometimes it's better to tell it as it is: This is BS. Even if 1,3 billion Muslims think not.
