Re: Aikido and being Christian

Wow!!! I like the thought process on this thread. If I may plant a small comment in here....I am a christian. I also take Christ as my savior. But each culture has a higher power that they pray to and hope to see in the after life. So I would say that. although I am a Christian, does that mean that Christianity is the only religion that will take someone to god? I would say no, what did they do before Christianity?

To say that O'Sensei is "in hell" seems ignorant because, god gave cultures different ways of beleiving. If you look at the religions closely, you will notice that there are similarities more than differences. Now the differences are definatley there, but look at some of the basic principles. I don't know, and maybe I am alone in my thinking, but if you truly beleive, no matter your religion, you are saved!!!!! My interpretation only. Take it for what it is!!!
