You can go on and on all you want about the bloodshed inflicted by Christians IN THE DISTANT PAST, as well as any "pardons" granted by Muslims IN THE DISTANT PAST, but since I live today, in the here and now, I am most concerned with what is going on today, in the here and now. And what is going on today, in the here and now, is that there are many many Muslims who would like to see me and my children dead and my way of life ruined. If you would care to address this point, that is, what is going on RIGHT NOW (rather than hundreds of years ago), I would be most interested to hear what you have to say. to M Abdaal -

I can't figure out a religion interpreted by every individual teacher. If one exists, please refer.

As Muslim, I do not agree with his conclusions, and doubt his assumptions are correct. To paraphrase a Muslim scholar I have met and respect: "If this is how you interpret Islam, then I'm glad you are not a Muslim."

I wanted to end my life, but somehow [Holy Spirit], I reached out to a friend who took me to hospital. I had three visits [hospital] in four months – I actually thought I was in hell. I imagine I was going through some sort of metamorphosis [mental, physical & spiritual]. I had been seeing a therapist [1994] on a regular basis, up until this point in time. I actually thought I would be locked away – but the hospital staff was very supportive [I had no control over my process]. I was released from hospital 16th September 1994, but my fear, pain & shame had only subsided a little. I remember this particular morning waking up [home] & my process would start up again [fear, pain, & shame]. No one could help me, not even my therapist [I was terrified]. I asked Jesus Christ to have mercy on me & forgive me my sins. Slowly, all my fear has dissipated & I believe Jesus delivered me from my “psychological prison.” I am a practicing Catholic & the Holy Spirit is my friend & strength; every day since then has been a joy & blessing. I deserve to go to hell for the life I have led, but Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross, delivered me from my inequities. John 3: 8, John 15: 26, are verses I can relate to, organically. He’s a real person who is with me all the time. I have so much joy & peace in my life, today, after a childhood spent in orphanages [England & Australia]. God LOVES me so much. Fear, pain, & shame, are no longer my constant companions. I just wanted to share my experience with you [Luke 8: 16 – 17].
