The differences in religions

Clint · 08-01-2005, 08:43 AM

A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one Sunday afternoon
when he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl coming from the
other direction.

"Hello," said the little boy.

"Hi," replied the little girl.

"Where are you going?" asked the little boy.

"I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home," answered the
little girl.

"Me too," replied the little boy. "I'm also on my way home from church."

"Which church do you go to?" asked the little boy.

"I go to the Baptist church back down the road," replied the little girl.

"What about you?"

"I go to the Catholic church back at the top of the hill," replied the
little boy.

They discover that they are both going the same way so they decided that
they'd walk together.

They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had partially flooded
the road so there was no way that they could get across to the other side
without getting wet.

"If I get my new Sunday dress wet my Mom's going to skin me alive," said the
little girl.

"My Mom'll tan my hide too if I get my new Sunday suit wet," replied the
little boy.

"I tell you what I think I'll do," said the little girl. "I'm gonna pull off
all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across."

"That's a good idea," replied the little boy. "I'm going to do the same
thing with my suit."

So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without getting
their clothes wet.

They were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry before putting their
clothes back on when the little boy finally remarked, "You know, I never did
realize before just how much difference there really is between a Baptist
and a Catholic

On a serious note I was once told the difference between Christianity and all other religions is.

Christianity is God reaching out towards man through Christ

All other religions are man trying to reach out towards God.

We all think we are right ofcourse.

I know I had my knee healed in the name of Christ.

Some may dismiss it as mind over matter.

We all have to make our own choice.

My Bible states "Seek and ye shall find"

A Catholic priest, a Baptist pastor and a Jewish rabbi were in a small boat fishing. The sun was getting quite hot, and they had not caught anything, so they decided to skinny dip to cool off. They started getting hungry, and seeing a large berry bush not far from the lakeshore, they came out of the water and started picking and eating the berries. They enjoyed the berries so much that they did not notice themselves straying farther and farther from the lake (and from their clothes). Out from a grove of trees came a group of elderly ladies with a picnic basket. When the ladies saw these three clergymen, they shreiked. The priest, pastor and rabbi ran away to their boat- the priest and pastor covering their privates with their hands, but the rabbi covering only his face.

When they were safe and dressed in their boat and had made their getaway, the pastor and the priest asked the rabbi why he only covered his face. The rabbi said, "I don't know about your congregation, but my people would recognize me by my face!"

Differences in religions?
No difference (except in story-myths). All are ideologies of social control.

I thought social control were all the immigration law threads...............

If that is what you want to believe go for it. I can't agree in the least.

I thought they were all terrorists.

That is a serious error and the kind of thing that does nothing to promote world peace and an end to terrorism.

Ted,

I was being facetious. I know Christians aren't terrorists. I was responding to your characterization of them that way here:http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/sh...870#post103870

I'm just a bit confused, I guess. You defend, support, and attempt to lend crediblity to someone who calls Christians terrorists in the above thread yet you say in this thread that such rhetoric does nothing to promote world peace and is a serious error. Which of your positions am I misunderstanding?
