Africa – land of religious
fervor and conflict. In places like the Sudan, the Muslims don’t just
want to kick out the Christians, they want to kill them. They don’t
deal well with ambiguity. As Blaise Pascal said, “Men never do evil so
completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”
Christian understanding of the Trinity. Islam is a black and white
religion – it gives comfort to those who want to know what they need to
DO to please God. Here – do these five things and you will please
Allah.
Actually, it reminds you of the Old Testament. With the advent of
Christ, things got complicated. He’s fully man and fully God – what is
that about? He’s Jesus, son of man, and Christ, son of God – how do
you reconcile that?
