Ten reasons I am going to hell


1. Somebody, somewhere, thinks I am an infidel
2. I believe that people have the right to know and worship God according to the practices, images, and values of their own culture.
3. While I believe that abortion is never a good thing, I do believe that women have the right to control their own sexuality and fertility.
4. I am a feminist, and I don't hate gays and lesbians (Gasp!) In fact, I don't even disapprove.
5. I agree with John Paul II when it comes to the truth in all faiths. God's face is everywhere, and ecumenism is a good, not an evil
6. I agree with Churchill - Democracy is a lousy system of government, but it is the best system we got.
7. I accept that marriage, family, gender, and religion are culturally patterned; our goal ought to be to understand the many ways of solving human problems, not to judge that which is different.
8. I take Matthew 25 to be a political as well as a moral statement
9. I believe that we (all fo the world's peoples) are trly responsible for each other, and we are gailing miserably at the task.
10. We are made in the image of God, yet are part of the natural world and a product of evolution.
