Much respect to you and your faith. I didn't mean to come off as insulting or disrespectful. I am struggling to come to an understanding with regard to religion. I do respect you and your beliefs and I am glad we can share our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs.
Oh yeah, one other thing that I struggle with is that the Bible teaches that all non-believers go to Hell. Some of my best friends are Buddhist, and they are more moral, upstanding and altogether "good" people than most Christians I know. I can't believe they will go to Hell and suffer when they die, and it bothers me that a God would be so jealous, and not value the inherent goodness of people...
And what about people who have never even be exposed to Christianity? I also find it somewhat disrespect of someone's culture and religion to try to spread God's word because that implies that their religion/culture is completely wrong...
Like Com says in GOD (just from memory, so no one needs to correct me if this isn't the exact quote), "different branches of belief, all got truth in 'em,got to read them boys").
