Then you have never been to my church . But remember there was only one perfect person and that was the Lord Jesus Christ

*rambling of thoughts*

I personally do not believe in god, the afterlife or anything that comes with it. I do not believe there has been one perfect person on this earth, that includes Jesus. My wife, who is very active in her church, believes the opposite.

Some people will say that man is God's greatest creation, I say that man is god's worst failure. Name me one species that has caused this world more destruction than man? You can't.

Christmas? What happened to Giftmas?

I also hope I haven't come accross to you in any negative way as you indicated some have.

Definitely not, I think I could attend a Church you pastor and discuss the things I find interesting with no worry of pressure or condemnation. I am pretty confident you are a good egg, though you might feel yourself that I am mistaken in some of my beliefs.

Far from being offended, my church is geared towards people just like you. We welcome those who don't know what to believe, if anything. True Christians are not judgmental- in fact we're loaded with the same problems and hangups as anyone, with no room or right to judge anyone. Those who do can count hypocrisy amongst their own faults.

Thanks Z,

I would love to meet you and share stories some day, you have led from what I can tell a very interesting life.

Hopefully you are not offended when people are rude to you. Because frankly in my view you are no better when you do that than the telemarketer calling my home and you will receive the same verbal abuse that I give them. If you intrude on my life unwelcome I have lost patience with that sort of behavior and act accordingly. I will give you an abrupt not interested and if you don't get the hint be ready for the irate blast same as a telemarketer.

I always try to ignore people who call at the door not in FedEx or UPS/Post office uniforms (well except officials fire police etc) and just don't even open the door. If you persist you better be willing to pay the price because I tried to ignore you.

haha went to church one time. Long story short. The pastor would sing. Crazy funny!! He would hold his hands up and sing ahmen. His voice was all crackly. Pretty funny.

I like to challenge them, to challenge the way they think. I know I come off as an arrogant asshole a lot of the time which is the reason for this thread to try to disuade people of the notion you have that I desire to ridicule. Russ and I are different we have had unfortunate run ins in the past and we have both become hurtful towards each other. This is unfortunate.

Young kids Cub Scouts, Brownies, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are exception, otherwise if they are over 17 beware.

It doesn't but I would love to hear a description of it sometime. I like to see the relative values of homes based on areas people live. Start a thread on it sometime.

I have attended multiple churches worshippimg Jesus...

...whose members believe members of other churches are doomed to Hell...

...I have encountered many members, of said churches, who have a difficult time believing their God made so many Good poeple be born into different sects, ...
...

...and let the Good be so easily decieved by the word or words of man...

Goodness is the most common thread.

Live it if you want to be good.

Live it if you want to be Good.

{... but never trapse outside of g(G)ood or ]g[Good to a realm of harm to another.}

In other words, do not cause physical harm to another, over what you think God meant, on the basis of what you heard another human say...
