  • John Shelby Spong has some nice words
     OP - September 18, 2013, 12:03 PM
    I found former priest named John Shelby Spong in YouTube and his words gave me hope and a blizzard of happines and peace.
    He is not Muslim, but I hope there were similar teachers in Islam, and actually in every religion.

    This man is brilliant: he preaches unconditional love, he says that Bible is full of immoral things and he teaches true meaning of the writers.
    He is still a Christian, but he has such a unditionally loving insight to the whole world and he has in my eyes found true meaning of religious tradition.
    Great thing is that he is not some random weed smoking, all loving hippie New-Ager, who just spams his views without logic, but he has real knownledge about ancient Jewish culture, Christian history, textual criticism, languages and parables.

    May there be open minded and wise teachers like him in Islam who open minds and hearts of fundamentalists and slowly make the Islamic world a better place to be.

    I am very sorry if this is bad thread, but I just found some comfort to my fear of Hell, Allah and Islam from his kind and wise words of Love and I just wanted to spread the truly Good Words.
    What you think about him?
    I ask many stupid questions frequently.
    I am curious, that's why I ask many questions.
    I am overly curious, that's why I ask stupid questions.
    I lack patience, that's why I ask frequently.
    So forgive me and answer me Smiley

    He sounds like a decent person, but I am more worried about what you are personally doing. Finding temporary comforts based on the preaching of qualities that rely upon subjectivity will not, in the long run, dissolve your fear.

    Agreeing with you, but it is good for human beings with anxiety and panic to listen every once in a while some peaceful and loving stuff.

    Ah, I thought, a Jonjo Shelvey thread.
