I am disappointed that there aren't more individuals that regularly post in the religious thread that have decided not to participate in my thread. Because those individuals are the ones who believe they own the thread, and they won't change their ways. Their ego is too big to surrender to such a beautiful petition. I tried to accomplish something similar before, and it's worthless. I fail with the same, that is why I try to refrain from posting. Thats a bit of a negative attitude. I post regularly in the religious threads, but I don't manage to get to all of them. So excuuuuuse me. LOL I vow to be a more nicer person. I also vow to speak truth as I see and feel it. P.S. of course everything I say is just my humble and irrelevant opinion. JB

One of the things that attracts me to a thread is the title. Your title, "Oh good grief!" was not very attractive to me. I thought you were Charlie Brown. LOL

...nice post T, I agree with your thought on what you state here. but alas unless Christians be kept from posting on non christian threads/post it will continue. that is why i asked M2 to start a spiritual thread and let the Christians have their coffee house chat room - maybe then who ever is interested in finding out about Christianity or monotheism, they can visit there and if there interested in other spiritual matters they can post on that thread, i don't mean to separate the two but i see no other answer - i personally don't care what anyone believes or does not believe at our core we are all the same... Christians are welcome to post in any thread they feel inclined to do so, they are not welcome however, to expect that their views are recognized and accepted as truth and fact. Those Christians who can engage in a real discussion about their beliefs without dishonestly obfuscating their logical fallacies, or resorting to quoted scripture as if it were universally accepted truth will find it difficult to bear witness or make their points. You can hold any faith you choose, and if you honestly admit that any inconsistency in reason is a choice you have made and will stand by, I won't argue (as it would be fruitless), and won't insult you for that... It is unfortunate that so many are so weak in their understanding of their beliefs that they cannot face even the most minor challenge, preferring to wither behind a wall of self made lies.

It is unfortunate that so many are so weak in their understanding of their beliefs that they cannot face even the most minor challenge, preferring to wither behind a wall of self made lies. That is so true fdp1177. I have found that each Church in my small town has a little bit different belief than the others, and each one thinks they are right and the others are wrong. They don't even accept each other, I can't expect them to accept me, a total non-Christian Tarot card reader. As a human being, they accept me, but some of them view me as the devil's spawn. LOL But my point is, I wanted to know what the minor differences of each church was and I found out that I would have to attend the churches to even get a clue. The Pastors were of little help. I ask one Pastor what his church felt about something, and he only answered with another question. He said "What does the Bible say about that?" DUH!! JB

I really like your idea and think it is a very good start to being the person that most religions what you to become. I personally believe that a person's religion should make them comfortable in the world. Any religion that does that I believe is right for them and I am happy for them. spreid
