Practice what he preached
This
sticker makes reference to Jesus Christ, founder of Christianity,
purported Son of God, carpenter, and all around pretty decent guy.
Christ preached about a lot of things, but I suspect what is
intended here is a reference to Jesus's teachings promoting peace, and
rejecting violence.
However, the
sticker includes 15 religious symbols, suggesting Jesus preached religious
tolerance. Personally, I think it was a mistake to include these symbols
on this sticker. I don't think that Jesus really preached
religious tolerance.
A Christian web
site I came across included this:
"Therefore the
popular idea of religious tolerance is not a virtue for us Christians;
rather it is shameful passivity and heartless indifference. How can we
who know the truth of salvation sit idly "tolerating" our
friends and relatives groping in spiritual darkness? We have the water
of life, how can we keep it from them who are dying of thirst?"
The
Skeptics Annotated Bible, includes a list
of dozens of Bible passages that underscore the point that religious
tolerance is not a Christian idea.
