Easy bballad, there are only a few of us older members know your Dyslexic.

.the issue is the dominists, mostly pentocastal, but a fair number of southern baptists as well.....the world would be much better off if we could jsut exterminate the lot of them.

This issue is personal - in your case. So quit carrying that massive chip on your own shoulder to take issue with the speck on someone else's.

No, I didn't know anything about your dyslexia and why should I? You asked for the response you got by your treatment of me - in fact I tried to make a joke out of something that I would have been justified in finding offensive.

Does this forum not have an ignore button? Maybe I should suggest it in the appropriate section.

Djm the problems with Moira is deeper then that, jsut one more useless dominioist giveign americans and christians a bad name, push theocracy down every ones throats. atacking knowladge any chance they have. hell I'll give Moira the benifit of the doubt, perhpas its not wilfullness perhaps its just willfull ignorance, selfritiousness and bigotry....so take your pick decite or willfull stupidity neither is worthy of respect.

Rubbish! I think the opposite - it's becoming harder and harder to admit to being a christian or have belief and faith. Just look at the reaction to me in this thread. It takes a brave person to actually come out and say, "yes, I believe in the bible, the trinity and in God". Much more socially inclusive to go down the evolution route.

I kind of agree with Moira and the reactions to this post kind of fuel her belief. And I am not a Chrisitan, I would rather be dancing around a fire right now with my flippy hangin' out while downing a jug of mead and ... well that should just stop right there.

There's believing and there's "selling."

I believe in a God that follows the Christian teachings more than any others. I'm not on street corners trying to convert others. If someone asks my faith, I'll tell him/her. If that person wants a dialog, great. If that person wants to attack, I move on.

There are a few overwhelmingly personal choices in life: religion (or not), sexual preference, Yankees or Red Sox etc etc. And if you can't face the slings and arrows you best not tell other people your beliefs.

It doesn't take any courage to believe in anything, this is free will. You can keep it to yourself if you want.

I believe that I'll hit the lottery even though I know there are huge odds against me. It won't be divine, I'm not wasting my time praying for it.

Go Yankees!

fourdc there is beleiving in god and then there is being a reborn idiot. do you think the bible is to be taken literaly? do you feel that the bible is the one "true" source of all knowladge? Look these dopes are attacking all learning, we see the attacks on big bang and evelution because they are relitivly new feilds that most people have trouble wraping their heads around. they are also attacking heliocentrisim (the sun the center of the solar system), round earth thory, carbon dateing..ect ect. They want to replace knowladge with ignorance, science with vodo, personal faith with mandate top down beleifes. To someone liek Moria you probably wouldn't qualify as a christian.

[Moira]

The bible, particularly the Old Testament, and Revelation in the New Testament is very symbolic and difficult to understand without study.

Bballad,

A lot of people wouldn't consider me a Christian either. I'm not evangelical, being born once was enough for me, I don't have to make peace with my God, I've never lost it.

All learning is good. Even reading the "banned" material. Seek to understand, then seek to be understood.

Being in church/temple/mosque makes a person no more religious than standing in a garage makes a person a car

Excellent comment. Now if you stand in my garage, you "might" become a beer.
