I am sorry Brian but that does not quite hold water. Pardon! “dialogue with everybody” yet “everyone” does NOT include some that you have “ejected!” That seems quite illogical to me. 'Everyone' has of course to mean you mean 'everyone' or else you are simply confusing this issue. Are you...

But Brian this comment alone shows me that you sadly fail to understand the very nature of fundamentalism and are that you are overtly trusting. Fundamentalism by virtue has never and will never accept any “common ground” for it sees all other faiths as being spurious and in rival competition...

Fine, okay, great – It’s nice to kick around ideas and opinions and everyone is naturally entitled to their own BUT the truth remains; evangelists ONLY become interested in interfaith to gain new converts as this exercise is what their holy book demands. To preach the Gospel of Christ crucified...

So many words and so much talk over an extremely simple issue. This point needs addressing ‘again’. The Church in all its forms exists to gain converts not to understand other faith. The only understanding it does is akin to how one army general studies another before a battle to achieve...

Tried once again to 'edit' my little slip – ‘historical’ not “hysterical truths” was the word I was after above .. What's up with the edit function??? :rolleyes:

One or two serious points need to be addressed herein... I’m sure that Ruby can answer this one but it has to be said that ‘fundamentalism’ is the number one enemy simply because it demands total and unquestioning allegiance to a doctrinal plan which is elitist, biased against others and...

Yes, there can be no possible allegations of "intolerance" which ever stand up against one who only ‘warns’ in fairness about very real missionary dangers. I reiterate that clever evangelists have been for many centuries abusing the trust, friendliness and blanket naivety of others at...

Thanks Ruby, sadly until some promoters of interfaith between rampant fundamentalism and the more ‘trusting’ types are actually at the receiving end of what this is all about they will never be able to appreciate what persons like you and I are seeking to explain to them in good faith. They will...

Sadly it would seem that some are quite incapable of seeing a wolf at the door – even when one gets its teeth into their flesh. If we persist in alluding to ‘Christian fundamentalism’ then the fact is that the very first commandment ("I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before...

BTW – here is more on the fundamentalist group ‘Christian Voice’ which is heavily behind the Jerry Springer Opera protests which I mentioned. They, like other evangelicals, are against abortion, euthanasia, gay rights, other faiths etc and are supported by countless everyday religious people who...

Caution is alas recurrently mistaken for paranoia. This is an old truism which still holds water today, however many can not face this truth (or simply do no want to) for it deeply ‘challenges’ their subconscious private leanings to what they perhaps fear the most! So my well- meant views...

? And that is quite a 'mystifying' comment in itself! :confused: I shall respond to your other comments when time permits me to - yet for now I will simply say that once again you have missed/ignored in fact all the main points which matter and especially the one which asks you how you will...

To me your view is ‘naïve’ and very dangerous! Interfaith is yes agreed an open system that is exactly WHY it has to be made aware of the clear dangers posed by the infiltration from the forces of missionary fundamentalism. Why you seem blind to this fact is simply amazing to me!

InLove I am rather surprised that you seem to find me the enemy when all I have done is express a fair desire for others to be made aware of the clear dangers of interfaithing with fundamentalism as you appear to be promoting herein. I feel the "danger" lies in your words - not mine and this...

Re: Interfaith as a ruse to gain converts! Thank you for all your various offering herein but although I admit that the history of a range of faiths is especially important we must ‘not’ lose track of the main point which is that fundamentalists become interested in interfaith for ‘one’ main...

I will happily interfaith with any pluralistic and tolerant faith system that does not insist that I am a follower of Satan just because I may disagree with a one-sided fundamentalist world viewpoint and I certainly do not hang my head to anyone. However certain vital points need addressing...

Cannot quite get my teeth aroung that one either. Are you really suggesting that the Christian Coalition (with all its committed members) and thousands/millions like it are NOT Christian? They deeply believe that their attitude (private and theocratical) is MUCH more fundamentally accurate that...

InLove I find it hard to take your comment at all seriously: You ARE joking yes (funny if so, lol good one)? If not however then we are in a bigger mess than I had previously though possible! No one can be that naive can they? Are you really suggesting the old Coke advert jingle will...

I get the distinct feeling that there are some people with hope and inspiration in their hearts on this forum. That is admirable. However, I have to confess that there is also an awful lot of naivety as well. Interfaith with the powers of fundamentalism (even on a small scale) is an historical...

[/COLOR] I have a “pastor” in my region who has bought a large amount of flats to house the homeless and many are drug addicts and drunks. This has upset many families that have to now put up with drunks et al urinating in their gardens and other such antisocial behaviour. This pastor is a...
