Muslims are the SAVED.

Baptists are the Saved, or Not. Robert R. Odle, Ph.D. an aspiring good citizen of the earth

… Religions love each other ....

Imagine Muslims singing the praises of Baptists.

Imagine the Baptist preacher getting up in his pulpit on a Sunday morning and proclaiming that Muslims are the saved. Of course, it is totally ridiculous, only the Hindus are really the saved. Or, was it the Catholics or Jews.  It is one level of tolerance to not say bad things about another religion or people, it is quite another to sing the praises of another religion or people.  The main reason people don’t sing the praises of other religions is because they think they are the “chosen”, “the saved”, etc.

Of course, it is the classic case of US and them.  For example, we are the US and the Iranians are the Them's.  We are the peace loving nation, they are the evil country who wants a bomb so they can start a war.  Ask any Baptist, he knows it as a matter of faith as if god decreed it. Ask any Muslim, especially any radical one, and he will tell you that the drone dropping Americans are murderers who can not be trusted.

All sides are biased and ignorant

We have not walked a mile in the shoes of anyone in the Middle east. We have not lived through decades of wars started by outsiders. They have not grown up in our confederate flag waving south.  They have not been baptized and we don't have prayer rugs.

But what we do have in common is a belief that we are right and superior. And besides, our God kicks butt.
