Where would that be?

*Note - I'm gonna try to be nice here.* You, YOU have no place to tell others how to live, act, think nor behave. Your overt demands that everyone else do whatever it is YOUR interpretation of the Bible says is ridiculous. I'm amazed you got some poor sap to actually make an oath to you in the first place. The fact that it was broken was a mere forgone conclusion. If you spoke to me IRL the way you speak in here, I would not consider you a friend - more a little, no make that a lot, nuts. A zealot with nothing in his/her life other than preaching what YOU think everyone else should do.

Try eliminating all your Biblical quotes and communicate with others using your own thoughts, ideas and words. Perhaps then others, maybe but l doubt it, might actually think what you have to say has some relevance or value.

I have no problem with you and your relationship with God, but please do not attack me or anyone else here for their religious beliefs either.

Boy wouldn't YOU feel like a FOOL if upon your judgment day your "creator" said something to the effect of "You wasted your life preaching rather than being a productive member of your society and living the way I taught you instead of telling everyone else how they should live?"

The answer to your question is: In your ear.

Oh, and I do not "hate you because I hate Jesus" - I don't hate you at all. Rather, I love Jesus, I just think you are sadly misguided and in dire need of a reality check.

Yeah, quite frankly, if anyone started preaching to me like Gannet has IRL, I'd drop them faster than a hot potato.

I'm a secular humanist and don't have a lot of time with people spouting scripture. To each their own, and if that's not good enough for you, there's no space for you in my universe.

Have you noticed that ex-drug-addicts make the "best" Christians?

yesman065 · 08-17-2007, 03:25 PM

You mean people with "addictive" personalities? Yeah a lot of "reformers" be it drugs, alcohol, gambling..... whatever seem to have an affinity to be "Born again."

Yeah....they make the best fitness freaks too.

but if a person is growing and changing into a person who does not keep their promises, is that not a regression in character rather than progress? if there's true growth, then a person's word should mean something.

I'm with whichever cellarite said you cannot stay in friendship merely on the strength of a vow. And what about my second point?

Even I as a secular humanist would agree that being hooked on a religion is probably healthier for an individual than drugs, but that's as far as it goes. I would hate to have any of my relatives turn fundamentalist, I'd probably disown them on the grounds of being too annoying to be around.
