My friend, Rabbi Chuck, answered a religious question I had by quoting the first line of a morning prayer: My God, the soul You placed within me is pure. This is a tenet of both Judaism and Islam, but runs counter to Christianity, which maintains that God gives us an unpure soul. Christians must be baptized to rid their soul of that evil. That just seems so wrong to me. Why would God want a world filled with unpure souls?
