    I get that, but your first passage is not a commandment and your secend passage is a commandment that has nothing to do with the situation. Christians have their own religion, why would they want someone else's?


    Please read my reply once again, that commandment has everything to do with those peoples' behavior. The verse from St. Matthew is just to show how Christians should act towards their fellowmen, in fullfillment of that specific commandment. To give freely to others, especially when people are in dire need of help. Not to covet others' possessions or be jealous of others, not to mention trying to extract confessions of faith through using peoples' unfortunate circumstances. The commandment says *any thing*, not just material things.

    Ok, right, I understand that you've read the Bible, but what does THAT quote prove?


    The nuns _desire_ enrollments of new converts by using the poor peoples' need of food and supplies. The nuns want their confession of faith in exchange for the goods they are offering. They are simply taking advantage of people in dire straits, clearly breaking that commandment.

    *sigh*

    For the last time, there is nothing in the 10 Commandments that said they did anything wrong. They just violated several of Jesus's teachings, perpetrated a couple of the 7 sins, and went far beyond common decency is all. :/


    "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away." -St. Matthew, Chapter 5 v.42


  4. Since when did blackmailing helpless people into converting to another faith have anything to do with the Christian faith? Those nuns better shape up or they can just ship *out*! (..they seem to forget what the Ten Commandments are all about....)


  5. Terrorism is one of the sickly symptoms of a declining world. Anybody hear about the decline and fall of the Roman Empire? Well, the stage is set, 2000 yrs. later but the characters are the same. Human beings committing the same mistakes, over and over again. In the name of God. No wonder He's turned His back on us...
