[Faith-talk] Refutation and preeminent repudiation totheZionistsubjection.

[debby phillips]

Hey Ashley, I think your topic is right on.  How does blindness 
affect our faith? And how does blindness affect how we deal with 
others of differing religions? Now, that may sound strange, so 
read me out.  First of all, I'll deal with my second question.  
There are various cultures and faiths that view blindness very 
negatively.  How do people overcome those obstacles? As a dog 
user how do I deal with a cab driver who refuses to allow my dog 
in his cab because he is Muslim and believes that dogs are 
unclean? how do we deal with issues that affect our rights and 
someone's freedom of religion? For instance, if a law requires 
that I do something that I find reprehensible because of my 
faith, how do I deal with that?

Then my first question, how does blindness affect my faith? Well, 
in one way it does not.  What I believe is in my heart, and I try 
to live out my faith every day, showing the love of Jesus to 
others.  And I want to be of service to others.  But what happens 
when people say, You can't do this or that because of your 
blindness.  As a Catholic, I wanted to enter a particular 
community of nuns.  (This was years ago and now I am married).  
But they did not want to have "anyone with handicaps" in their 
community.  Good luck with that, when members get older and have 
disabilities.  Churches in the United States are not required to 
follow the rules of the ADA.  So what recourse does a person 
have? These are topics that I think are blindness-related, and 
certainly NFB related.  Thanks for reading.    Blessings,
