Convert to Christianity in trouble

You are right - but unfortunately there are some in this World who will pretend to be the God-send interpreter of God's Words, and even as the knowledgeable interpreter of the teaching of the Prophet.Originally posted by mhcampboy:Who are we to decide God's doctrines??
These "Pretenders" know that the controlling the Pulpit is the shortest way to ascend the Throne of Power.
From the Pulpit, an eloquent Speaker can mesmerise the crowd, as he gets more beliigerent and vociferous in his language - to right the seeming wrongs, he will have more control over the crowd that will soon worship the Speaker - and will let slip the memory of the Higher Spirit.
Is it any wonder that when the Prophet's teaching call for tolerance towards other religions and allow the departure of those who no longer wish to follow the Faith in their hearts, that these "Pretenders" will have the audacity to go against the very teaching of tolerance and choice so as to make-up for their own insecurity and impotency ? -
Yes. And sadly enough, people always stereotype. For example, A claims to be a Prophet or Holy Man of XXX Religion. A contradicts wat XXX Religion has taught. But people still view as Religion XXX to be a bad one and not the particular heretic. Thus, it lies down to individual. Are they just ignorant or are they just happy to see another religion falls and being ridiculed at.......Originally posted by Atobe:You are right - but unfortunately there are some in this World who will pretend to be the God-send interpreter of God's Words, and even as the knowledgeable interpreter of the teaching of the Prophet.

While I do not wish to get into any controversy with any religious faiths and their faithful flocks, it remains true that Man depend on Religion as a crutch in his journey into an unknown future, which along the way has too much potholes and pitfalls that will either shatter or strengthen his character at the end of that journey.
There are those who are strong in body, mind and spirit, will transcend the mundane issues of religion, and who will be abled lay-leaders of the Community; while those who are feeble and weak minded will end up being the minions to be led and shepherded like aimless sheeps.
Can sheep think ?
Is the Pig more intelligent than the sheep ?
Is the Dog more superior to the Pig ?
In the heirachy of the Animal World, even the Elephant is afraid of the Mouse; and the Lion stay clear of the Elephant.
A capable Leader is one who will be able to understand the strengths and weaknesses of every animal, and mobilise them to serve his own ends.
Depending on one's perception and experience, this could be an inspirational or a sad outcome of Man's History - (as was seen during WW-2 and the aftermath which followed that period ) .
