Are you going to punish me again, Churchboy. You seem to do that when I hit a nerve with you. I will choose to convey my opinions and belief's any way I choose. Not the way you think I should.

This is why we can't have nice things.

You seem to be reading something into his statement that I don't see.
Or are you just poking a bear?

Some would say atheism is a religion.
Religions do not require a God/god.
Look at Hinduism.

I never said I was an Atheist or a Hindu or any anything else.

No kidding.

I donate thousands every year to our church. We support charitable organizations that work in prisons, foreign lands, all sorts of things. I just left the Operation Christmas Child packing party we have every year to send gifts to children around the world. Occasionally folks come looking for assistance, and we always provide it. The last two years we have donated to villages on the other side of the planet as a Christmas project. We recently raised money for a veteran in our community who can not work and who wears a permanent back brace but who is still waiting for the VA to get it together. And we are only about 30 members.

But I need to be more generous. I love being told by others who know nothing about me, usually liberals, how I should be helping someone else. And it's always the same thing: give money to the government, so they can use 3% of it to help, and the rest to mess up the good they are doing. Sorry, I'm not going to feel shame for not immediately rushing to the one option that poses the greatest risk.

We're doing something similar to that Operation Christmas thing too. But I'm not sure if that's the exact name. Yeah and then there's the food pantry, Bertha's Mission, volunteering with the Lion's Club, etc. and like you, the more you do, the more you wonder if you shouldn't be doing more. Just because one declines someone else's pet project doesn't mean they're not helping out on anothers'.

No, you did not. You said, "I for one do not "believe" in fairy tales."

So, now you want to call me names. This is and will be on you not me.
You call out a lot of folks and belittle their beliefs. I simply ask you to use a filter as you are not the only one in this discussion and you are coming in a bit late.
You got popped for your own actions sir, nothing I did.
Now, do you want to hash this out in open forum or will you please put a lid on the attitude. Simple as that.

Choose wisely as you pursue this.
Churchboy....arent you cute tonight.

I would sincerely suggest you rethink this post. Is stepping on toes really what is called for?

He lives to do this.

I walk away for 10 minutes and... you guys move fast.

And that's Churchman to you, sonny!

 

[308jake]

I believe in Gingy and his gumdrop buttons. Still not sure about the Muffin Man though.

Churchmouse doesnt like me. Since he's a moderator now, he likes to ban me when I say things he doesn't like.

Classy. My guess is the petty Churchboy will offer you a cheeseburger and an opportunity to get to meet over a meal. But you may not get the chance. He isn't the only mod in this thread.

Ok. Let me rephrase. Organized Religion is the cause of all this violence in the world. Or at the very least using it as a justification for their actions. And please dont include me when you say "ideas based on a shared God of whom we all believe. I for one do not "believe" in fairy tales.

Not a student of history 'eh?

Then why poke?

I am. And quite a bit of violence throughout history is caused by resources, and lack of resources.
