   If Jesus were physically here, I wonder if He’d ask the church to throw the first stone. It’s amazing that He got along with people who were nothing like Him, but was then despised by those who should have accepted Him.

   About a year ago, my friend mentioned something that stuck in my head. He said the very reason he chose to follow the five pillars of faith instead of Christianity was because of a Christian in his life that didn’t walk their talk. Goes to show that there are also Christian extremists.

   That statement should propel us to find more reason to love and reach out to folks who really need it, not because of personal ideaologies or hidden agendas, but because that’s what we’re called to do.

   Wow, I honestly didn’t think that Christians would think that training their kids to kill was a good thing.

   I’ve been wonderfully impressed with the people I have come into contact with through my job. Some have been wonderful, some haven’t; and while it is possible to get a broad sense of how someone may think through their nationality, it doesn’t necessarily cross into their personality.

   I now know three Iranians. One studying in the UK and planning to go back to Iran, one studying here and hoping to stay (but as an Iranian) another who left the country very quikly in the dead of night and is now a British citizen.

   All of them with very different political views, each one of them lovely. Each one of them loved by God.

   One day they, as I, will be judged. But not by me. In the meantime I’m called to demonstrate to them who Jesus was.
