All I really desire is freedom FROM religion. - No offense has been intended

Logical · 12-12-2006, 02:48 AM

I think some here misunderstand my intent as being a hater of people who are believers. If you have been around a long time you would have seen me defend many different religious types from the bigotry of so called Christians.

I personally believe there is a creator(s) but I also suffer from the illogical nature of the idea where did they come from?

So being as we are approaching a religious season for most religions I select this time to apologize for any hurt I may have caused any of the posters on this BB who mean well.

This is a thread not intended to stir the shit so hopefully it can stay in the Lounge.

What a relief. We've been waiting 2,000 years or so for your approval. I guess we can go global now.

I just don't like 90% of church people, at least the ones I've encountered. they are self-centered, judgemental and very inconsiderate people.........for every 1,000 "church people" that I've encountered, 900 of them are terrible/stupid/a$$hole people.

As long as your interests, don't conflict my interests.

Glad I will fall in the 100 you will like then.

The fact is, the people who aren't like that, you don't notice. You only notice the pushy ones.

I don't know what I believe, to be honest. I dont think we spawned out of the sludge by mere coincidence... yet, I also find it highly doubtful that's someone's sitting upstairs pulling all the strings.

The thought that there's nothing else after this... that it just ends... scares the shit out of me. I guess in the end, I try not to think about it much.

I try to "do the right thing", not because I'm worried about punishment in the afterlife, but because it's how I hope everyone will behave. We need guidelines, of course. I figure if I live my life as a basically good person, other people will generally be good to me.

I hope there's an afterlife, and I hope that it will be good to me too. I also hope it's not that hard to get in... because I dont really have much faith... just hope.

Says the guy that chooses to give good or bad service to the people he serves food to by what they are wearing when they walk in and sit down at his table. ("If you are wearing a cowboy hat and boots I'm spitting in your food 'cause I know you won't tip me later")

PastorMikH · 12-12-2006, 08:19 AM

FWIW Jim, I don't think I've ever felt offended at anything I've read from you. I have pretty much gathered where you stand based on your posts, but to me you've at least presented yourself in a respectful manner (at least in comparison to some of the other posters.

)

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

The guy made a comment about his dealings with people of faith, he said nothing about hate, why would you equate that to spitting in someone's food. You are confusing stereotyping with malicious intent. We all stereotype to one degree or another we just need to refrain from the hate you describe

That’s just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.
