JERUSALEM: BRAWLING "CHRISTIAN" MONKS
UN Observer
Nov 10 2008
2008-11-10 | "Christ opened his arms on the Cross to embrace the
whole World, because Golgotha stood at the centre of the World" -
(St. Cyril of Jerusalem)
This weekend's disgraceful behaviour of Armenian and Greek Orthodox
monks brawling in the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcre in Jerusalem
and Israeli police having to separate them points out the inherent
inconsistency in organised Religion - particularly Christianity.
Ever since its foundation, Christianity has been marred by internal
disputes that have led to persecutions of anyone who disagrees with
whatever "official" position is announced. Now, there are even groups
of fanatics, also calling themselves "Christian", but who focus almost
exclusively on "Armageddon", which they believe to be a terrible war
in the Middle East that will signal the end of the world and their
exclusive "salvation".
One wonders if Christians have ever read the Teachings of Christ.
