Exactly! Mention God in most threads and some will try to herd you into the religion threads, ignorant of the fact of how much our beliefs are central to every aspect of our lifeUnfortunately, too many believers are too uneducated to be able to give a reasonable defense of their beliefs or have been told they need to be nice, shut up, and not live their faith in all spheres of life.

Understood
Faith is jumping off of the cliff and building your wings on the way downSee, thats the thing. Faith by definition relies on a belief that you cant explicitly prove. If you could prove it, it wouldnt be faith but fact. And that is where the non believers fail. They want spiritual faith to be spiritual fact before they believe. But it doesnt work that way.

I resist that screed
"No one puts baby in the corner"
Most who are not religious just allow it to roll off their INGO-thickened skin but some are so filled with hatred they cannot let it go. Those often turn out to bat for the other team, in my experience

Well, while I admit that I am uneducated when it comes to Biblical intricacies (I am in awe of some of the folks that immediately know which chapter and verse to go to though!), I just try and be respectful, pleasant, open-minded and yet still remain true to my faith.Unfortunately, too many believers are too uneducated to be able to give a reasonable defense of their beliefs or have been told they need to be nice, shut up, and not live their faith in all spheres of life.
The old ***** has gone bat **** crazy.
Look out....the squaw is on the war path!
It does say to study the word so when someone asks you can give a proper answer.Unfortunately, too many believers are too uneducated to be able to give a reasonable defense of their beliefs or have been told they need to be nice, shut up, and not live their faith in all spheres of life.
See, I like to show DoggyMama the really expensive guns that I occasionally run across on Gunbroker and such. It gives me the opportunity to say, "See honey? Aren't you glad I don't spend this much on guns??"For that money it should have an iron clad provenance to somebody famous, or maybe an extra zero was added by mistake. Either way I hope the gardener doesn't see that.

Surprisingly, it doesn’t take all that much scholarly effort to understand the failings of most of the non-believer’s arguments we hear most. I’ll admit I’m a lazy reader. There are resources out there that help even people like me become better educated.It does say to study the word so when someone asks you can give a proper answer.
That is a lot of study. I'm sure there are some people out there that can give you a scripture response to many questions.
Yeah, that’s always good for a eye-rolling (“dream on”) laugh from Mrs GFGT too.See, I like to show DoggyMama the really expensive guns that I occasionally run across on Gunbroker and such. It gives me the opportunity to say, "See honey? Aren't you glad I don't spend this much on guns??"
Recently, I got the “how many more guns to you need?” question. I told her it’s not a question of ”need”, it’s that there’s always another that I don’t have yet.I always point out to the gardener the ones I don't buy, I think it helps when I do buy something.
After 43 years, I don't get much guff.
I think that's what ultimately lead to my .32 acp gun buying frenzy. They were small, easy to conceal in closets, dresser drawers, etc..Recently, I got the “how many more guns to you need?” question. I told her it’s not a question of ”need”, it’s that there’s always another that I don’t have yet.
AmenHaving a court case decide national policy over a states rights question to me is the key to the whole thing.
Nothing like a big plate of scrambled sea turtle eggs after a morning of clubbing baby harp seals.Having sea turtle eggs for brunch this morning.
Yum.
are you sure?Wrong we are founded on Judeo-Christian ideals. If you've ever read our history, and been to Washington DC you would see it about everywhere you go.
