Christian Atheist Believe

More From Pat Robertson

Hindus, in their capacity for love, are indeed hairless christians, just as muslims, in the way they see god in everything, are bearded hindus, and christians, in their devotion to god, are hat wearing muslims.

Not just christians and jews, but also muslims, buddhists, hindus and the followers of many other religions believe in values like peace, respect, tolerance and dignity. these are values that bring people together and enable us to build responsible and solid communities.

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

As western muslims and american muslims, we need to understand that the values and principles we promote are not only muslim values. american muslims live in a country where justice, dignity, freedom and equality are essential values.

When watching 'the passion,' jews and christians are watching two entirely different films. for two hours, christians watch their savior tortured and killed. for the same two hours, jews watch jews arrange the killing and torture of the christians' savior.

Although i'm not christian, i was raised christian. i'm an atheist, with a slight buddhist leaning. i've got a very strong sense of morality - it's just a different morality than the loud voices of the christian morality.... i can't tell you how many films i've turned down because there was an absence of morality. and i don't mean that from any sort of judeo-christian-muslim point of view. i'm not saying they're wrong and can't be made. but, fundamentally, i'm such a humanist that i can't bear to make films that make us feel humanity is more dark than it is light.

Everyone we meet is a hero waiting to happen. when jesus saw people, he envisioned their potential. no respecter of persons, he associated with people from all walks of life.

He does have that weird mixture of born again christian and stupid that some people mistake for courage and focus.

I would be the last to condemn the thousands of sincere and dedicated people outside the churches who have labored unselfishly through various humanitarian movements to cure the world of social evils, for i would rather a man be a committed humanist than an uncommitted christian.

That i am not a member of any christian church, is true; but i have never denied the truth of the scriptures; and i have never spoken with intentional disrepect of religion in general, or of any denomination of christians in particular.
