Our Beliefs
And why we
believe them!
We
have travelled extensively and have seen that people
the world over increasingly see Christianity
as a
religion that sponsors war, opposes regimes, exploits the
poor and contributes to the plundering of the planet's natural
resources; all for greedy gain. Hence, the word "Christian" has a bad
connotation for so many people today.
Today's
"Evangelical Christians"
are largely responsible for creating this misconception with their
political
agendas, condescending
attitudes, big mouth
preaching, circus like gatherings, lavish
lifestyles, and efforts
to export these things to the rest of the world, all of which are in
stark
contrast to what Jesus taught.
We
do not
share their beliefs,
teachings or practices, which turn
more people away
from God rather than to
Him.
We
can, however, relate to the
Catholics in many ways, and applaud Mother Teresa and many
others like her for their unselfish,
sacrificial labors of love. These dear souls practice the essence of true
religion.
We
also relate to the universal values of
peace, harmony and family found in eastern religions, things lacking in
our world today.
In
conclusion, we believe that most
of today's problems would be solved if we simply started
"treating others the way we want to be treated ourselves"
like Jesus said.
This
is, and has been, the main theme
of our writings and
productions for
these past 20 years.
Thank
you for your love, prayers, and support.
