Cudakite: You will not lose my friendship.

cudakite Loc: San Antonio

Oddly enough, i'm glad. Even though i suspect you're not sincere, can't lose something ya never had, huh? ;) I do, however, find you interesting. I used to have a rich supply of anger which did, in fact, color my outlook on things in general. Wasted a lot of potential for contentment and peace of mind during those years.

TrainNut Loc: Ridin' the rails

GOD is much wiser than we are. He doesn't force people to worship Him. He accepts the people that do willingly. He tells what is going to happen after we die and gives us a choice. He doesn't send anyone to hell, it's their choice. People have no problem believing that a place on earth exist that they have never been to because people that have been there tell them about it. Also people have no problem believing history because people wrote about it when it happened. But when it comes to the bible and Jesus they choose not to believe even tho the people that wrote it were there and witnessed what was happening. I find this very strange.

I drive a school bus, therefore I work around teachers and students and I know that for a fact the teachers are prevented from teaching anything about religion, spirituality, Jesus or God. I was told that I am not to say anything about it, as well. Does this not go against what Jesus told us to do "Go therefore and preach the word to all mankind and make deciples of them." ???That is to say that I Don't have religious freedom any more. You're telling me that I can't do what Jesus said to do. Athiests can teach our children about "Evolution" and athiesm, but I can't say a word about Jesus??? Where is the fairness in that.

Oh come on now Train nut, "He tells what is going to happen after we die and gives us a choice." And how do you know this? Did God explain it to you or did the daily interpreted, million meanings, never written by the so called writers, Bable tell you?

Croce Loc: Earth

Now now Audie, Jesus never told you to do that. Fess up now Audie, did Jesus really tell you to do that? You spoke directly to him? Does he speak English or Aramian, or Hip Hop? What did he look like? Will you speak to him again. Does he mind if you take his photo? Be sure to get a release if you do.

Why don't you realize that Chrtstianity is not the only religion that is present in the world, and in the USA?
If you believe that then every religion has the right to be heard from.This counrty, the USA, is NOT a Christian nation. It is still a free counrty where we can worship as we please, or not worship at all. You can worship as you want, but the government at any level has no right to expose me to what I do not want to be exposed to.That is what is known as separation of church and state.You pray all you want. Just leave me out of it.
Teaching evolution has nothing to do with religion.It is teaching scientificly proven facts. There is a lot that even the scientific community knows nothing about, but they are learning more every day. The Earth took billions of years, not thousands, to be where it is today. It is where it is because of billions of years of geological and climatic changes over the years, not at the whim of some invisible man living up in the sky somewhere.
I believe that a giant pink dragon living in the Milky Way farted, and our Solar System was formed.Can I prove it? No. Can you disprove it? No.

Croce...I'm disappointed in you. Referring to the Bible as the Bable. Asking a Audie of Jesus told him something directly? Croce...those are tactics and strategies of mockers. I thought you were a cut above that.

cudakite Loc: San Antonio

Where on earth did you get that unfounded notion? Lol!!

Croce Loc: Earth

Bable??????
I'm not making fun of Audie, but I am questioning him. He said, " Does this not go against what Jesus told us to do "Go therefore and preach the word to all mankind and make deciples of them." I mean come on Steve, Jesus never told me to do that and Audie must be willing if not told by Jesus, to be buying a line purportedly told by Jesus directly. I mean if Jesus "told" surely he had to tell someone. The problem is, how do we know? None of the so called writers of the books of the bible could read, write or make a sound recording. You know how twisted things become by the time it passes through just 2 or 3 people. Not mocking Steve but pardon me if I think someone is trying to put one over on me if they say what Audie said but then again, what difference does it make? Since I do not believe in god very much how can I believe he had a son? I think Chopbobby's statement about a Pink Dragon and a fart make just as much sense. Take your choice or toss a coin between the 2 just to be fair.

All of you who preach tolerance, tolerance for gays, tolerance for abortion, tolerance for the "anything is OK" philosophy sure don't seem to have tolerance anyone who believes in God, personal freedom, or has a Christian philosophy. It seems that anyone who disagrees with you is immediately labeled a racist, bigot,or redneck.
How tolerant is that?

Croce Loc: Earth

Just curious phcaan, how tolerant are you of people who have tolerance for gays, abortion? Just interested to see how your comment pans out.

phcaan Loc: Willow Springs, MO

Actually I really do hope you find a way to tolerance and kindness and I really do wish you luck in life. Not sure you deserve it with the sort of attitude you've shown in your postings, but I still wish you all the best. Forgiveness isn't just a christian quality after all. But I suspect that you'll just carry on being hateful and intolerant. That's probably why you think my comments were bullshit.

If you'd read my previous posting you'd know that my experience and knowledge of sexual abuse is professional.[/quote]

You talking about tolerance and kindness, that has to be one of the most hypocritical things I have ever read.
You take every opportunity to flame anyone who has the unmitigated gall to express any belief that doesn't agree with what ever it is you believe.
It must really suck to be you.

As long as they don't attempt to force me to believe or participate in their activities I don't care what they do. I do care when the attempt to force me to participate in their actions. A good example of this is if my tax dollars are used for abortions. I protest my forced participation in this.
What people do in their homes is their own business, and that is the way it should be. They nor I should be regulated to conform to each others life choices, and as long as no one is hurt the government should stay out of individuals business.

SHUTERED Loc: SO. CAL.

I posted a few days ago the statement that what was needed in the schools is what is in the ten commandments. No, I am not saying that the Ten Commandments should be tought in the schools as such, but that the values encompassed in them should be. Even a die hard athiest, I think would have to agree that those values are what most law abideing people live by, or attempt to. They do in fact encompass the basic laws we live by.
