Hey! It's shmee once again! Today I am going to respond to an article that I have read.
I couldn't help noticing smileNOW's article called "A Different Thing". I read it with widened eyes. She quoted, "As a Christian, I think all other religions are lies -- not to be so harsh, but it's true. That's what I believe. To me, my religion is the ONLY Absolute Truth, and no one can change that." Well, I myself am a Christian, and I must have missed the part of my worshiping where God said that Christianity is the only real religion and that every other religion is just rubbish. I do not understand where smileNOW is getting this from. In the past, when I have responded to her articles, smileNOW has responded with a passage from the Bible, so I am expecting that, if this article is published.
The whole point of this article is to say that even though I am a Christian, and believe the same things as smileNOW, she, in my view, is wrong. Sorry to say it, but what if Christianity isn't all true? Who are we to say that 2000 years ago our savior came to earth? We weren't there. Some religions do believe that, and some don't.
I hope I made sense, as well as make my point. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Editor's Note: What do you believe about your own religion? Why do you choose to follow it? Do you believe yours is the only answer, or is there room in your religious universe for constellations of other gods, other faiths? Write in to the Times and let the people know!
