　　宗教與現代人生不能脫節，兩者需要互相對話，今日的宗教面臨許多現代的問題。
　　第一、宗教與理性：現代人不能接受迷信，宗教應該建立合理的信仰。
　　第二、宗教與科學：科學對現代人生有很大的貢獻，宗教應該與科學合作，因為兩者屬於人生的不同領域，兩者可以滿足人生的不同需求。
　　第三、宗教與無神論：宗教信徒不可敵視無神論者，雖然兩者有不同之處，但是倫理道德上兩者有共同之處，因此兩者可以合作，共同促進社會的公義與世界的和平。本書也從現代人生的觀點來討論神的問題、人的問題、以及聖經的問題。

　　如果一個宗教不能符合現代人生的需要，那一個宗教將失去意義和價值。本書作者一本初衷地關注宗教與現代的關係，秉持尊重世界各大宗教的開放態度，以自身的宗教（基督教）來討論宗教與現代人生的重大議題，層面涵蓋今日宗教所面臨新的問題和新的挑戰，期以宗教上的自我批評與檢討，來促進宗教不斷革新，以符合現代需求，幫助人生完善。

rickrick, I am not a Christian, posting this article up doesn't mean I am against the religion. Don't you think it's interesting to discuss this in a positive way?

But are you against the religion? (Y/N)

If the answer is Y, then I actually respect you for having the courage to say so.

daimo

let's guess when this post will reach by the end of this week ...

my guess ... page 15.

(and will come back in 1 form or another every 2-3 months from "someone" who doesn't hate Christians, who is not against Christianity ...)

and Chun, I just have to quote your "輸打贏要既最佳例子"

I think the original passage is to point out "基督徒八大惡劣特徵", not "基督教八大惡劣特徵", Who dare to say those 8 characters are not commonly found within Christians (say "immature ones)? The writer didn't say/against anything of "Jesus" and Christianity at all.

I have to say your statement is inaccurate.  Please read the original article carefully.


point 2) ... 故此我可以歸結出，信耶穌就是出於自私心 ... (this is against all Christians, not partial, mature or not)

         ... 單憑這一點，耶和華即已是一個邪惡之主。  ... (this is against the Christian God, directly)

point 4) ... 有某些基督徒以中國文化附會聖經，認賊作父，實在是中國人的敗類及恥辱！... (who is 賊?  again, against the God in this context)

point 8) ... "新教比天主舊教更邪惡" ...  (so both are 邪惡. again, against the whole Christianity ... ok, don't tell me just Orthodox isn't included)  


----

Anyway, it's up to you how to read it.  if you tell me it's not against Christianity or the Christian God, then we have completely different way of interpreting the article; and it's completely moot to continue the "debate".  (what debate? interesting?  positive?  some non-believer seeking answers? )

while the fact is true or not is another issue

Interesting statement.  I have to say that my jaw dropped.

無可否認基督教是很值得討論的宗教。是的我是在高登看到這文章，其實他們有帶出另一個很有趣的問題，係人與寵物的關係。如過聖經中人同動物根本係主人同奴隸o既關係 ，為何信基督教的人要養寵物有如親生兒女？

我轉載自高登 ...

whether you are against Christianity or not ... only you can tell.  (all i can tell you is that I'm not convinced)

Your article from Golden is against Christianity and Christians.  That's the only point I'm trying to make.
