I take notice of one thing as I read these differnent forums. First of all most of the big hit ones are religious. Why? People love to argue! Something deep down inside of causes a indescribable feeling when they get their point accross flawlessly.

I am a christian so I must say to other christians. People it is casting pearl before swine in here to think you can change anyones mind in here by a few pixles of your typing sense. The world is only out for one thing and that is getting it's point made. You will exahaust yourself for hours with these people online and get nowhere.

A relationship must first be made in witnessing to someone BEFORE exhaustive evangilism. Otherwise the person listening (or reading for that matter) cannot see how YOU live your life. The fruits of the spirit must be manifest and seen. So please don't give the world opportunity to begin an argument leading other's astray ignore them. Nothing they say can stand against the wisdom of the Lord!

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God

Those things you all encountered goes against everything Christ was about. It sadens me to see socalled christians doing it.

Im just pointing out some of the absurdities not bashing.

I was almost murdered once for my faith.

I have endured many assaults.

The Lord has delivered me unscathed, in every case.

He has turned many gangsters and many self destructive and destructive souls from the errors of their ways and done so through me.

He has personally touched them with His Holy Spirit and they turned to His love, and not away.

That is not apparent here.

Here, there are words.

Where sin abounds, grace does more abound.

And though insults may abound, and offenses, nevertheless, Christian soundness prevails.

It is unfortunate that the interaction of our words are filtered and distorted through manipulation.

One can only hope that the errors of false teachings may be discerned and that truth shall continue to prevail.


Welcome to the task at hand of teaching that churchianity and Christianity are two different things.

On a lighter note I can understand how you could be irritated by the same thing happening to you being atheist.

Every religion has to prosyletize(in some fashion) Its perfectly normal

I lived in South Carolina for six years where there is are as many churches as there are convenience stores and it never once happened. Amway folks were a different story though.

Wow I don't know where you live. I have lived in NC and SC and they prayed at government meetings "in jesus name" and people were hired because they were christian, companies flat out advertised that they only hired christians, I had 7 day adventists come by at least weekly... the 7th day adventists didn't bother me.

But being at my place of employment, a secular government agency, and being required to attend meetings that began and ended with prayers to jesus bothered me. Noticing that the holders of the 6 highest positions in the agency all attended church of christ churches that bothered many of us. So we left. I do have a friend who still works there. She is Church of Christ. She feels like her career is a shoo-in. She doesn't think it's right, but admits that she has every reason to believe she will be favored because of her church.

i don't really care to dwell any further... but all this does not mean I "don't like" christians. How stupid. I once had my purse stolen by a hispanic man. a friend asked me if i hated or feared hispanics now? Of course not. just because people have something in common doesn't mean that they are all the same or act the same in any other way.

By the same token the opposite is true. You saying that something doesn't happen just because you personally have never experienced it is ridiculous. If you haven't had cancer I'm happy for you, that doesn't mean that cancer doesn't exist.

I respect your right to discuss your religions. All of them. But when you say something incredibly arrogant and self-centered like "this never happened to me, therefore it doesn't happen" that is obviously ridiculous.

Think. Peace.

Tools You are 41? Do you still say "dude"?
