Another thoughtful comment about the Ground Zero blog, from Proud Podcast Participant, Sheri”
I just read your blog… and at first when I heard about the Mosque AT
Ground Zero I was upset, that is until I did some more research and
found that it’s about 2 blocks away… and contains areas for other
religions. I think it should be AT Ground Zero.. it should be a
multi-relgion place for prayer and mediation. It should be a place
where people of ALL religions, and those like me, who don’t like
“religion” because of the politics involved in them. I’m a firm
believer in God, and Jesus as my savior… I was raised Catholic,
respect the Pope for the position he holds, but have major problems
with the thing that they have done in the past, and continue to do…
all in the name of God. There are, for lack of a better word, crazies
in all religions.. but they are so few in numbers compared to the good
people in all religions. The blood of innocent people, of all walks
of life, all nationalities, all religions, all beliefs, all faiths,
and even those who didn’t believe is in the ground there at Ground
Zero. The ground is tainted with all the hatred of the world. What
better way to cleanse that area, then a place for ALL to come.. to
remember.. to pray,,,, to mediate.. to seek guidance in this difficult
world….
