I must disagree with your assertion that her thoughts were undoubtedly inspired by her religion. (although they may have been). I know that I, as a non believer, can create thoughts like that (as can millions of other people). So I see her ideas and her religion as being two separate but coexisting aspects. Perhaps I make this distinction because I always resent it when religious people imply that without religion morality would be absent in humanity.

I fully agree with her view on forgiveness.

And no, the source of inspiration doesn't matter if the philosphy is correct. The biggest problem I have with religion (other than the fact that it goes against all available evidence) is that it tends to be all about the dogma and ritual and tradition, but with zero philosophical understanding. She is clearly an exception, and the world would be better off if more Christians followed that example.

Her message hits me more so in a philosophical way. Yes, it is religion based, but since I was also raised with Eastern Religion/Philosophy, I can bridge the gap in being able to separate the dogma from the wisdom.

I Can appreciate the philosophy of ones faith, just not the faith itself. It is also why I refer to myself as Agnostic and not Atheist. I am still open in a way an atheist is not, open to hear the message and to share a tiny piece of the hope. It may only be a distance cousin to the relation i have with them by way of personal, philosophical views and from my lack of faith to their acceptance of faith, but that little bit of questioning within me is enough to make the difference.

I have no issue with hearing someone speak of their God. I can even find aspects of beauty to some tales I have heard. It is the "darker side" of religion that i detest. I see it as... Spirituality Verses Dogma. I see a vast difference between the two.

Some religious folk are "Spiritual Heavy." Some are "Dogma Heavy." I do not deal with dogma heavy, but I Will listen to a spiritually heavy believer and usually not take an issue.

I see this situation as a "spiritual heavy" one.

I like her message but it has nothing to do with faith or religion.
