Gypsy...i bet they are...being taught in a book that God's love is conditional...that if you did not convert to their faith, you will be judged by God to be Infidel and will be thrown into the fiery hell(correct me if i'm wrong)...Who among the fathers here are willing to see their children suffer? Everything written about God punishing us in the afterlife is a complete BULLS#17! If a father can forgive his children's wrongdoing, no matter how big it is, what more God? You don't need religion to be closer to God...practice the act of charity. What would you gain if you read the book and do nothing? Do you think God will commend you because you've memorized the book, verse by verse? Simple rule to follow...Love one another as you have loved yourself and Do not do unto others what you don't want others do unto you.
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
