Environment Man

He will do worse upon his return. And I will be in agreement with him.

As a christian, your covenant with the Almighty is through his Son under the dictates of the New Testament. So quit playing the "God was a mean old fucker in the Old Testament" card. Or blow off Jesus and convert to judaism. No pesky, sweet, forgiving, redeeming son of God to get in the way of your manly vengeance lusts.

BTW, did God shit on the mentally ill in the OT? I must have missed that passage.

Right... YOU consider. Your word for a people. It matters not to you if it's a word those people would choose, or even if they regard themselves a being a people with each other. You sling the word as a perjorative. You know, I bet there's a word that some unenlightened people have used, have slung in your direction, a word that does not make you happy. A disrespectful word. Think about that word for a moment the next time you decide that agnostic=atheist, pagan=satanist. Remember, holy vestments are just Klan robes with more shiny stuff.

I'll leave your child out of my "description" of you when you leave Andrea Yates' children out of your judgement of her.

Really? What Will Jesus Do? and what is your source for believing that he will do worse that shitting on the lazy? And frankly, isn't there a world of difference between you shitting on somebody and Jesus doing it? I mean, Holy Crap!

Amen!

Nobody likes to be called names. Especially not for their beliefs, or lack thereof.

You have the patience of a Saint, LC. I honestly don't see how you do it!

As Merlin said in the film Excalibur, "It's easy to love folly in a child."

I truly do hope to make a real believer out of Eman some day. What he becomes a believer in is up to him. But what he's doing right now is not believing. It's using. It's cherry-picking only the bits and pieces that he feels justify what he wants to do.

I believe Eman would become a better, more moral man if he dropped religion. He would take responsibility for his actions and choose wisely regardless of personal benifit or loss.

For some, religion is a crutch. To hold them up when they have trouble standing alone. For others, it is a ladder. To help them reach heights otherwise unavailable to them. Sadly, for some, religion is a shovel. Taking them to depths they would never consider without it.
