Assimilation

One day, on a spur of the moment decision, a lady bug wanders into an ant colony; just to see what it was like. she is out of place, and noticed right away that she was greeted with malicious stares, and whispers... yet she wandered around inside taking in all there was to see...  after the initial shock of the lady bug in their midst,the army was called forth to destroy the invader... she tried to run, but was caught in the center of a mob of stinging ants... there was no way out, she lost strength.... 

She died, slowly and painfully in the center of the ant colony with no one to help...

Moral: Christians did the same to Pagans...  assimilate or die... and is still the same today, for most... not all. People like to say they are following Christ, doing God's work... but are they really?  I have met some really amazing Christians and I have met some people like the ants... you can't be in their lives unless you fit their mold, have their label, etc.... is this really the path of Christ?? Did Christ shun someone because of something he said, or how he looked? Did Christ talk to only Christians?? I want you too look around.... see the people standing beside you.. are they any less of  a person because they are Buddhist? Do you not both have two eyes, legs, a nose? Aren't you made the same? Did God make you any better than him? The Bible says God created everything... EVERYTHING!!!! Why is one person better than another because of his Label?? Because of his religious title?? Why is it so important to put down another man because of his beliefs??? What do you gain from that?? Why not believe what you believe, and trust that God will take care of those others, as well as you... It is not your worry what that man does in his home, or in his church... and your business is not his.... why is it so hard to see that every human is human... is God's creation?? Why is it so hard to walk away smiling because you know that God made people, and every person is different, thus, God made the opportunity for you to learn something new every single day... if only you take a step away from your "Christian" label, and talk to someone who may not know Christ, but knows Buddha....  you may learn something... I guess my point is.... be Christian... Treat others as you would be treated.... the Golden Rule...  it is basically the same in every religion.... follow it.... learn from others, and love them regardless of their beliefs....  then u can call your selves followers of Christ....
