To Mary

I have never understood a religion that isolates themselves. I understand from certain kind of people, but to turn away good people who just happen to not be muslim, I don't understand. Sounds more like a cult to me. I thought if a person or people who walks with GOD is suppose to have a light about them that will shine and make others want to walk with GOD.

I invited my Jordanian muslim to a church function with me, I am a christian. He refused saying its against his religion. No one will try to convert him or talk against his religion. They will just welcome him and treat him as a guest. When I asked could I go with him, he told me the same, I have to be muslim.

He loves the fact that I have GOD in my life and have not yet tired to convert me to Islam. We will have a marriage ceremony here in the US as well as in Jordan, but he said that he couldn't stand before a Pope or a Father in a church(smile). I am not catholic, I have a Pastor who is over our church, and I explain that he will only pray over us, that we can write our own vows. GOD is everywhere, it doesn't matter where the marriage ceremony takes place. I don't understand that religion and the way some of them act, I have no desire to learn about it.
