(haha, Star Wars. ^^)

I must say, I'm very glad you've been civil, and that you've agreed with me somewhat about your first comment. ^^; I agree that the bible does have many good things in it, and that most of the time people take it too far themselves. I mean, although I can't personally agree with the bible in it's entirety, I think people need to remember that some of the idea's in it are very dated, and..let's see, god doesn't want you to beat up gays etc.
Jesus was cool. XD Mainly because I love the musical. <3 And also, if the things mentioned in the bible really happened, then the afore mentioned bigoted comments in it should really be blamed on the writers/transcribers/translators etc etc that have intervened over the years, not the god/son/holy spirit/whatnot. When you think about it, who knows how much got changed. ._.


As for Light, well, I don't think he was going the right way about world order at all. ^^;

Mm, it's just important to remember that the most outspoken do not represent the whole. Christianity (and many many many other religions) is founded on very decent, worthy principles, and it is very disappointing when people choose to ignore that fact for the minute, severely outdated details. While I know I am certainly not in danger of oppression cause I'm a Christian, it's a little disheartening to see it pulled through the dirt in so many fandom discussions.

And on your mention of translations, there are many interesting theological issues with those- including the fact that much of the concept of the afterlife is artificially constructed- but that's for another time. :)

Anyway, I hope you can understand why I was upset at the secret.

I think that as with many things, it's just 'certain people' spoiling it for others. Where as 99% or Christians are likely very nice people, there's that 1% of extremists, who in a lot of cases just want to fight over something...which just gives everyone else a bad wrap. I suppose it's very relatable to how many people tar all Muslims with the same brush as the 9/11 bombers, and other extremists.

That's quite interesting. =) Actually the whole 'lost in translation' issue has got me thinking. ^_^ I may look into such issues.

I can understand. I can also understand that it came out a little aggressive because it's something that's important to you, just as I did when I replied. ^^; I don't exactly agree with the secret itself anyway. ^^;
No hard feelings. ^_^
