<br />Ok I guess the dog will go ahead and jump into the fray hahaha This is like a dog fight where there`s really not a winner. <br /><br />Anyway after going to about 80 site`s I think I have a notion as to the truth in this matter<br /><br />1  These were not a handful of christians trying to gently spread the word of god by simply quoting scripture from the bible.<br />2. This was a mob of protesters there for trouble shouting insults holding up pigs heads and just generally raising hell<br />3. This is a festival that happens yearly in dearborn . The Arab community in Dearborn (dearborn`s population is 40% arab) are the ones who sponsored it.  I live about 2 hours from dearborn I know people (not arab) who attend every year. The food is great and there`s lots of stuff for kids to do. games rides, ect ect. The festival is not a realious based event. Its kinda like their fair. <br /><br />So with that being said. I dog53 who despises and hates with a passion RADICAL ISLAM. Think these morons who by no means were acting in a christian manner . got exactly what they deserved. Oh and the stones were actually empty water bottle`s and food that was being thrown at them. Oh and the video doesnt show it but there were many non- arab`s throwing the stuff to. Anyway just thought I good maybe shed a little light and tone down the hate. NEO you have a real problem dude. Why do you hate religion so intensely. Respect others beliefs and perhaps they would respect you in turn.<br />
<br /><br /><br />

- I respect you immensely for this post dog. Didn't think any of the believers here were this rational but you have certainly proven to be the diamond in the rough in this case. Everything you stated in your post is why I'm not a fan of religion. How are you going to sit and say I have a problem, and then turn around and say you HATE radical islam?? The reason I don't like religion dog, is because it creates fundamentalist nut cases. Ya know, the ones you hate with a PASSION. I'm not saying all people are thumpers/bombers and out to stir up trouble, that's obviously not the case. But religion breeds this insanity as well as overall gullibility. Faith is not virtuous imo and it teaches people to displace reason and logic. So aside from the fundies, this premise is why I generally don't like religion. It deters critical thinking. Sorry my friend but not respecting one's beliefs and being disrespectful are to completely different things. I respect you, don't have the least bit of respect for your beliefs however. I don't respect the radical muslims beliefs either, why would I? You obviously don't although I could easily make the statement you just made to me. For instance "Just respect radical islam dog, and they will respect you back". Not very likely or realistic is it dog? Take care, and again way to be rational on the subject and way to not let your faith blind your reasoning here.

My two cents.

I have to agree with Dog53, the video was one sided. These so called Christian which I think were not acting in a Christian manner, new good and well that they were going to stir the pot. I don't know about you but I think or I know Jesus would not of handled it this way.

Until we can see each other as ONE as Maggie123 has mentioned and as God has taught us, this will continue to brew for generations to come.

As far as the other group (Muslims) they were just as much at fault by displaying their hatred towards any human being the way they did. Unfortunately this is taught to them.

No way in the world would my children speak such hateful words that would dishonor their parents. Foul mouths.

We need to stop hating on each other. Quit trying to prove who is right, who is better, who is smarter, and start respecting each other. Our children won't move forward to a peaceful world if we don't move forward.

Just to add a case in point, check out Black Swan's response to SF on page 1 of this thread. She said essentially the same thing as you in a very respectful manner, and I agreed with her. Yet we got negged to hell over it and somehow you get pluses? This is the intolerance lack of reasoning that these so called "christians" produce, and just another reason I'm not a fan of faith. We get negged simply because we're non believers and you agree with us and say the same things but happen to be a christian so it's all good for you. Prime example of the lack of logic and tolerance that I was referring to.

Neo you just don't get it. I cant respect Radical Islam cause they want to KILL me. The muslim religion is NOT radical Islam. The PEOPLE of dearborn are muslulms who worship in the muslim faith. They are not radical muslims. Radical Muslims tie bombs to there children. and live to kill as many infidels as they can. Those are the muslims that are our enemy. Also you have no idea of my beliefs . You are so full of your own presumptions it keeps you from seeing the truth. Do you hear me quoting scripture or telling you your going to burn in hell. hahahahaha No man you don't. You no nothing about me except what I have written in a post. You are wrong neo you do exactly the same thing that you claim to hate. You just did it to me. You blindly had faith that I was just another christian. Without proof or knowledge that I was. You assumed. hahahah Your easy man and I see you

You didn't get Negged because you were a unbeliever NEO You got negged because you act like a rude jerk most the time. Had you talked in a respectful manner you would have been taken seriously but you dont. You ridicule and poke at people till they tun on you then stand back and say. " waaa did I do" I didn't do nuthin" hhahahahahah I laugh every time I read one of your rants.

- Dog, I do get it, I agree, perhaps you missed the part in my last post where I said,,"I'm not saying all people are thumpers/bombers and out to stir up trouble".

"Also you have no idea of my beliefs. Also you have no idea of my beliefs . You are so full of your own presumptions it keeps you from seeing the truth.

- What truth is that? You're a believer aren't you? How am I wrong in presuming that when you've put it on public display?

"Do you hear me quoting scripture or telling you your going to burn in hell. hahahahaha No man you don't."

- Did I ever imply you did my friend?

"You no nothing about me except what I have written in a post. You are wrong neo you do exactly the same thing that you claim to hate. You just did it to me. You blindly had faith that I was just another christian. Without proof or knowledge that I was. You assumed. hahahah Your easy man and I see you"

- I disagree, I had a reasonable expectation about your belief system based on what I DO know about you from this and previous threads. You defend religion every chance you get, you claim to hate radical islam yet you don't claim to hate fundamentalism in general, no just radical islam for some reason, I'm pretty sure we have debated religion in previous threads. I think it is rather reasonable to assume you're a believer. Am I wrong in this assumption? Are you an atheist? This is not blind faith my this is a reasonable expectation, there's a difference.

"You didn't get Negged because you were a unbeliever NEO You got negged because you act like a rude jerk most the time. Had you talked in a respectful manner you would have been taken seriously but you dont.

- Well I certainly know I never once called anyone a "rude jerk" here. And how is stating, "Well said Black Swan" "rude" in anyway shape or form? That's absurd. So what you're saying is that people are just hating and negging any post of mine regardless of content? Um almighty then, another shining example of your crew not turning the other cheek there eh? Lol! Please Bruh.

"You ridicule and poke at people till they tun on you then stand back and say. " waaa did I do" I didn't do nuthin" hhahahahahah I laugh every time I read one of your rants. "

- All I can say to that is pot calling the kettle black. A little introspection might be helpful on your part my friend. Take care.

hahahah Neo I will defend any religion any chance I get. None are wrong its about FAITH and what you believe that counts. No I am not a christian Per Say I do not belong to any church. You seem to believe that there is only two roads to go down ether your a christian or your a atheist. In all religions I find one defining message. FAITH and goodness. I am a native American I some times pray to the great spirit which is alive in everything we see. I have FAITH that he will answer and He does. I sometimes pray to Jesus of Nazareth who had so much FAITH in his own god that he became a god himself. It says In the bible that if a man had the FAITH of a mustered seed He could move a mountain. I have seen with my own eyes a dandelion break through a slab of cement. Its FAITH that I believe in. FAITH makes a god a reality. Was Jesus born a god I don't really know. Do I have FAITH That he is a true living god and that through his FAITH he makes it possible that we do not endure a death but everlasting life. Yes. I do. I have FAITH that his FAITH was so strong that this is possible. I believe that the Muslims , catholics, Hindus, Jews, etc etc also can attain this level of FAITH.We are all children of god. We can all try to attain this level of FAITH that can endure after death. If you as a atheist believe in nothing then its nothing that you will become. I know this will upset a lot of good Christians on here because you also believe that your way is the only way and I have read so much from all of you I know your good people and this is your FAITH and Its what you believe so I cannot argue with you. You cannot argue with FAITH. But know this. I am a good man I try hard always to do what I think is right. Neo I hope one day you can experience FAITH. And yes You may have never actually called anyone a rude jerk but in all honesty that's the way you come across to people.

Your right, I can not argue your opinion. If you believe in the great spirit and jesus, thats your prerogative, but do you not see the contradiction in your two beliefs? Do you know what christianity actually says according to the bible or are you just creating your own "per se" christianity? You either believe in christ and no one else including the great spirit or you don't. For instance one can't be a christian and believe in allah, according to the bible. So you can't rely claim you believe in jesus and the great spirit and expect that belief to coincide with what the bible actually says. I'm not sure what the great spirit's rules are, but I'm guessing they don't punish one for "worshipping false idols".

Do you know that it was christian FAITH" and interpretations of that FAITH that lead to manifest destiny and the slaughter of many indigenous native people? Did you know they used their FAITH and "goodness" as a direct excuse to commit ethnic cleansing on the native americans? You know this history right? You see this is the darker side of FAITH that no one ever wants to talk about. Now here you are, apparently native and proud, and yet you pray to a deity that was the direct source of FAITH by the ones who slaughtered your ancestors. Now I know you probably have some reason you feel that these people weren't "true christians" and that your FAITH in the same god is justified and hey that's all simply in the past right? That's fine. I just find it interesting that as a native you found christ, but that's just an observation I found interesting, nothing more. You're entitled to your beliefs my friend and I'm entitled not to respect them. Although I'll respect you.

"Neo I hope one day you can experience FAITH. And yes You may have never actually called anyone a rude jerk but in all honesty that's the way you come across to people. "

- I have experienced faith, I used to be a believer Dog. I prefer truth now however. I only come across that way to certain people who throw stones so I answer in kind, I'm cordial if you're cordial. You seem to only notice me for some reason though. Lol! I guess I'm the "radical islam" of the DV thread posting fundamentalists. Alright bro, I'll be you're scapegoat. Take care

Lol! About as much ammo as continuously claiming I serve a mythical red tailed horned pitchfork carrying evil magician gives you. These clowns are one in the same bruh, face facts. There's no difference between the two, they're both intolerant hate groups that get off on provoking trouble. Although i really can't hate, as I said these fools are only helping religion and in particular christianity die, so to that I guess job well done.

satan is not a myth, he is real, and you have taken his bait hook, line, and sinker.

Who made YOU the judge? rolleyes.gif

judging what???

you are lost too.

<br /><br /><br />

- Lol! You don't even know enough about the theory itself to even demean it properly, "we didn't come from no monkeys" Lol! Read a book other than your bible for once, you just might learn something there friend.

"Ah yes, a world left with only Neo's. Who would you hate then?"

- Lol! No one, a world filled with non magical thinking rational people is what is known as a utopia. Dust of your dictionary and look that one up, perhaps you'll find it under your stack of bibles.

"why such a hater Neo?"

- Hater? Not sure you understand the meaning of the word fish.

"You are hopelessly lost."

- hmmm, yeah, you believe in a magic sky daddy that somehow gives you the right to demean muslims and I'm lost, Lol, Ummmmm ok.

I know I didn't come from monkees, I know, apes, I didn't come from them either, did you? maybe that's why you look the way you do. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

so you're say that Jesus never spoke the truth, thus causing anyone to be driven to wrath???

how about them Pharisees, or the high priest?

Christ lived a holy life. He went to where people gathered. Those who wanted what He had to offer followed him, and those who didn't could go home. Throngs of people followed him wherever He went, and his active ministry was only three years.

I just think that Christian people who think it's appropriate to go into a Muslim neighborhood (He went to where people gathered) and preach Christ are kind of asking for it. Given what we know about this religion of intolerance and hatred of the "infidel", I mean, really. How stupid could they be? I don't think what happened is right, but I think it was to be expected.

We're giving Muslims a preferred status in our country now, and too many people think we should just give them a wide berth. (Those Christians were not giving them a wide berth. But the Muslims tried to claim preferred status by stoning the Christians in their midst). As we do that, if we expect a wide berth from Muslims, we're just stupid. (If we can't go wherever Muslims are, other than in their own homes or places of worship, then aren't we just allowing them to take over any place where they choose to go and be disagreeable to non-Muslims who also have every right to be there? I think the Christians were taunting the Muslims, which they could do just by being there without saying a word, but the Muslims had no right to throw things at them. However no one likes to be stared at silently in an accusatory way by others). I think it is much more useful to live a life of service like Christ did. To endeavor to be holy like He was while on this earth. To touch people and make them want what you have in a meaningful way. To take soup to the poor, and share Christ with people as you develop meaningful relationships. The problem is, most fundamentalist Christians aren't doing a very good job of that. They tend to be judgmental and self-righteous, and who wants that? (This could also be Muslims. They are, for the most part, very much judgemental and self-rightous. Or it could be many of the objectors to Christianity here. You are right, no one wants such behaviors, but many people lean toward being like this when their own beliefs are questioned). (To take soup to the poor, and share Christ with people as you develop meaningful relationships. -- Do you think this is any more fair than going door to door? After all, you are taking the soup to their neighborhood, and they have to listen to you if they are hungry and want to eat). I agree with you, actually, but bigotry and being judgemental and self-rightous are not exclusively Christian behaviors. What these people did was just stupid. I think the outrage is wasted. Outrage pointed in the wrong direction.

haha What do you mean, "Although i really can't hate"?? Obviously, you do. And you do it to the point that you reduce yourself to being simply pathetic. You would be funny if you weren't so scared. No one gets into such a frenzy over something that is truly meaningless to them. And you sound truly frightened by Christianity.

Your missing the point, no it's not ok, but if you plan o blatantly disrespecting people, plan on a response. If you walk up to someone and start verbally bashing them, do they have a right to hit you? Technically no, but you would have to brain dead not to know that would be a possibility.

Yes, I do agree with you and when you break the law, there is a good chance to suffer the consequences to your actions.

Did the Christians break the law, NO. Did the Muslims break the law, YES. Should the christian's expected a response like this, YES. Should the Christian's go to jail, NO. Should the Muslims that assaulted the Christians go to jail, YES.

I used to use the same type of example to woman that wear very little clothing with some extra skin showing. There is more of a chance to being raped so dont do it, but you have the right of course. The rapist cant use the excuse that they raped them because they were not wearing enough clothing and they should have expected it, when being prosecuted for their crime.

I just watched the vid from begining to end. What I saw was Christan persscusion in the form as outlined in the Bible. With everything else going on in the world today this just convinced me that the final battle is forming and we won,'t have any choice here.

All I can say is look to the Lord and believe that he is our savoior. The double standard that is being applied here is gut wrenching to watch in my own Christan based country. It is like these self rightouse subhumans have rights but the Christans do not. I now think I have a better understanding of what the middle east is all about. It appears that the muslims think they are the chosen ones. Boy are they (muslims) in for a surprise.

Christans God would want you to protect yourself......................................... It is a sad day in the USA. :( Let the negs flow, I don't care, GOT IT!

<br /><br /><br />

"satan is not a myth, he is real, and you have taken his bait hook, line, and sinker."

Yeah, well according to the evidence, he's about as real as Santa Clause fish.

"I know I didn't come from monkees, I know, apes, I didn't come from them either, did you? maybe that's why you look the way you do."

- Wow again? Lol! god, would you please learn how to spell monkeys if you're going to use the term in a derogatory way. If you want to ignore the obvious and cling to your fairy tails, be my guest. Thats just you primate brain not being able to process reality. So I completely understand. Darwin was correct. it's abut survival of the fittest, and mentally you people are falling by the waste side. Your own ignorance is spelling your own extinction. So please continue.

"so you're say that Jesus never spoke the truth, thus causing anyone to be driven to wrath???

how about them Pharisees, or the high priest?"

- There's no CREDIBLE evidence he even existed, let alone actually spoke anything.

<br />haha What do you mean, "Although i really can't hate"??  Obviously, you do.  And you do it to the point that you reduce yourself to being simply pathetic.   You would be funny if you weren't so scared. No one gets into such a frenzy over something that is truly meaningless to them. And you sound truly frightened by Christianity.<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br />

"haha What do you mean, "Although i really can't hate"?? Obviously, you do. And you do it to the point that you reduce yourself to being simply pathetic."

- Lol! Allow me to rephrase, I really SHOULDN'T "hate" As I mentioned "christians" like you are only helping. And again, I don't actually hate the religious, much like i don't hate the mentally insane. It's not really your fault you were conditioned this way. So I don't hate you for believing, I pity you, not everyone has the intelligence to separate truth from fantasy. I simply hate irrational dangerous belief systems in general.

" You would be funny if you weren't so scared. No one gets into such a frenzy over something that is truly meaningless to them."

- Lol! Aparrently you've never heard of dawkins, hitchins, harris, etc. Lol! or perhaps any rational scientist for that matter. It's not "meaningless" at all, people's irrational credulous beliefs can have an impact on my life. Why do you think religious zealots such as yourself only vote for other religious zealots? I don't want another president starting a war on a message from "jesus".

"And you sound truly frightened by Christianity."

- Well christianity can be frightening at times, just take a look at christian history. A lot of horrible things happened in the name of christianity, but ya know, to you, I'm sure that was all just "god's good work". Take care.

LOL! Plus I love how throwing empty plastic bottles, paper plates, bowls, cups and food somehow equates to "stoning" Lol! That's like me saying I got assaulted with baseball bats after a pillow fight. Lol! I guess every kid in America has been in a stoning war in the school cafeteria at some point in their lives. Lol! at the one guy who said " We were assaulted for 30 min" Dude please, if you were stoned for 30 mins you'd be dead. Talk about drumming up the dramatics. Having said that, yes it was wrong for the muslims to throw food and picnic wear at the "innocent" christians.

Wow guys, still at it. :unsure: Neo, you know some Christians will not understand your frankness. Well ya know what, I learned to accept frankness because I love truth. If someone is frank with you then they have no problem expressing themselves. Some will show respect being frank and some won't. Nevertheless, I had mentioned in another thread that some Christians don't understand their own religion and what it means. This one here does. And that is how I was able to marry the atheist. Just think what the Christians on here of thinking of me. It's ok. Because I tell you they need to understand that Christ did not hang out with good guys, he went for the not so good.

He hung with sinners. He sought them out actually. "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners? His answer was: "It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.

I don't take this as they are sick if they are out of Christ, I take this as we need also to show them love.

So it is for us to love each other and together we can figure it out, learn, and share with each other. I just wish we didn't have to misunderstand each other. I tell ya some of the conversations my husband and I have are cerebral. That is how you show love. Emotion will tear it down. It does not change my passion of Christ and it does not change his passion of conscience connection.

"Just think what the Christians on here of thinking of me. It's ok."

- I know what they think, they think you, I and your husband are hell bound. Nothing new there.

"I don't take this as they are sick if they are out of Christ, I take this as we need also to show them love. "

- I'm sorry, I'm not following you here, what does "out of christ" mean?

"So it is for us to love each other and together we can figure it out, learn, and share with each other."

- How could I ever love someone who thinks I'm "satan's servant", and believes I, you and your husband deserve to be burned for eternity? C'mon uncirculrd , thats just not realistic my friend.

"I just wish we didn't have to misunderstand each other."

- Thats just another problem with religion, it's notoriously known for producing misunderstandings. Eradicate this form of thinking and you deter one less thing to cause misunderstandings or go to war over etc.

"I tell ya some of the conversations my husband and I have are cerebral. That is how you show love. Emotion will tear it down. It does not change my passion of Christ and it does not change his passion of conscience connection."

- It doesn't change your view or passion for christ because you have your own view of the religion apart from the actual view of christ and christianity in general. If you actually believed in the god of the bible and christianity as it was intended then you wouldn't even be with an atheist to begin with. Listen to some here who call me "satan's servant", these are "true christians" and they are only following what they believe according to their holy book. Yet you probably don't view your husband as a "servant of satan". But yet you want to cling to an ideology that does and would burn your entire immediate family. Just let go of your fear, because if you're not clinging to your faith out of fear of punishment than it's simply odd that you have a belief system based on a religion that promotes the eternal torture of you, me, your family and any other non believers. Just saying. Take care uncircurld.

"Just think what the Christians on here of thinking of me. It's ok."

your biggest problem is that you reject God, your second biggest problem is that you are a hater, your second biggest problem is because of your biggest problem.

Since you claim to be atheist, with do you even bother responding to these threads? You are just a trouble maker, and enjoy serving satan.

Just saying. Take care uncircurld.

Out of Christ means not believing in Christ. That is all. There is no hidden meaning. Christians come in all forms. I cannot judge those who don't think the way I do. But both sides judge me. The Christians and the Atheist, and the Agnostic. See, like you, I have a judge and jury of myself. Though I put my faith in Christ and you put yours in your own deciding I guess. I do not know. I am guessing. Logic I guess. I don't want to judge you in any way and I don't want a fight. But I can say it works for me and I am not going to church to learn. I have seen too many things wrong at the church. I think they should be putting out a different message than they are.

To me, the complete message of the Bible is Love, and Christ was the one who tried to tell all those of the Old Testament they were wrong in condemning people, rather how they dealt with witches and non believers. See you took the severe look at it as my husband and I are going to hell. But that's ok too. Because that is your judgement. My husband is non violent, non evil, and non satin serving. I understand what your saying, but with my religion comes faith. That faith is like I said will not let any good person be condemned. My God as a loving God "will" bring them to him. Isn't it true that you do not believe in God. You are a good person and not evil? Am I right? Well, I don't know how but I believe that my God knows that. He will in some way find you. Not that you want it or by force but by a for instance. And I know that's not what you want or expect because you see no logic to it. But that is how I believe. That turn the other cheek, keep on trucking in the Lord and love them. Just love everyone. it's not a system, it's spiritual. I don't know if you have ever had "any" type of spiritual experience or not, but i have. And I don't know if you even care to have that but it's me. I have never used the words you use when speaking to my husband. Every preacher, minister, rabbi that does I believe is wrong. But again, I am not judge and jury. I still can love them. Here again, I could be all wrong, but it's what I believe.

When you said: you want to cling to an ideology that does and would burn your entire immediate family. Just let go of your fear, because if you're not clinging to your faith out of fear of punishment than it's simply odd that you have a belief system based on a religion that promotes the eternal torture of you, me, your family and any other non believers.

You said cling, so I will use that word too. I cling to ideology that every Christian does not share my view. Like I said in another post I am not able to be pure and I believe that no one is. We are all sinners. There is no way I could live like the law and cast the first stone. I am wired as to taking the easy road which sometimes is bad. It's easier to make an argument and be mean. You know what I learned about that? That energy I used was wasted on pure nothing. That would turn me to hate. And when someone deliberately does that to another I see that as pure mean and evil. I will call them out on that when I know it is just being mean. I won't try to change their mind but they are trying to "force" me to change mine.

I love to listen to reason. There are times when I see something and everyone hate me for it. For instance, Maliki. I got bashed so bad for saying what a tyrant and evil man he was. There were so many articles of his wrong doings but no one saw that. Oh well, I just kept putting my interpretation and eventually got left alone. But, see i am sometimes an evil #itch, but I refrain because it's pure evil. Being a Christian is work and eventually becomes natural. But again not all Christians believe like me. We are all different and many of the church's out there think they are the only true church of God. Yeah, in my mind when someone says they are a Christian I want to say, yeah right. I can't do that because I it's their understanding of the Bible. I have my own as you can see.

But anyways, I did like to hear from you. You do not understand how it works for me to think this way and I cannot explain it that well. But nevertheless your still a brother in my family. It's just the way I feel. We are different and we think different but we are family. Like it or not :D

You wrote that the Christians call you:

"satan's servant", these are "true christians"

nope not true Christians, Christ said condemn not least you be condemned. A true Christian should NOT call names. Your not a satan servant right? So tell them. Tell them to have a intelligent conversation if they want to understand.

"To me, the complete message of the Bible is Love, and Christ was the one who tried to tell all those of the Old Testament they were wrong in condemning people, rather how they dealt with witches and non believers."

- Well it's nice that you personally feel this way, and you seem like such a sweet person uncircurld but again it goes against what christianity actually says. You are wise enough and kind enough to set your own moral code which trumps any organized religious moral code.

"See you took the severe look at it as my husband and I are going to hell. But that's ok too. Because that is your judgement."

- I didn't take the "severe look at it", this is simply the christian belief. Either you accept jesus christ as savior or you go to hell. That is what christianity states according to the bible. The bible is very clear on this fundamental premise. As I said, You can alter that any way you wish and make it seem sensible to you, but you are changing the rules to fit you're own pov. That's like saying I'm a christian but I choose to believe in allah. I can not debate your self made contradictory beliefs on christianity, I'm simply happy you can see holes in religion at all. As much as you say you will not become an atheist you have already bent the rules of christianity enough to at least allow yourself the opportunity to become one without punishment in your mind. You have done this by eliminating the NEED for belief in order to transcend as evidenced by your belief that your husband as an atheist will go to heaven.

"My husband is non violent, non evil, and non satin serving."

- Of course he isn't according to logic, but accordion to christianity he is evil and satan serving, as are you and I. However You are smarter than this so obviously you don't buy it. Neither do I.

"I understand what your saying, but with my religion comes faith. That faith is like I said will not let any good person be condemned. "

- I hear you and I agree that this is your particular view on faith, it isn't christian faith however simply because you say it is, because christian faith is based on a completely different set of terms that you are unwilling to accept, and for very logical reasons. You and your husband are obviously too intelligent to be conned into believing your husband is satan's servant.

"My God as a loving God "will" bring them to him."

- Then he isn't the christian god by any means. The christian god would condemn you both and I.

"You are a good person and not evil? Am I right? Well, I don't know how but I believe that my God knows that. He will in some way find you."

- Yes, but you've just admitted that you have no idea how your god would know such a thing, so why believe it when you have absolutely no frame of reference? Just think about what I'm about to say here, and I don't mean to use capitals to express anger, but rather to emphasize my point because I want you to respond to it. IF ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH, BELIEF IN GOD IS NOT REQUIRED, THEN WHY BELIEVE? IF EVERYONE IN YOUR OPINION WHO IS BASICALLY GOOD GETS TO GO TO HEAVEN, THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING BLIND FAITH? WHY NOT SIMPLY BE AN ATHEIST AND FOLLOW UNIVERSAL LAW? WHY THE NEED TO ALTER CHRISTIANITY JUST TO ATTACH IT TO YOUR SET OF BELIEFS WHEN CHRISTIANITY BY IT'S VERY DEFINITION DOESN'T FIT THEM? You said it yourself christians judge you. It would be much more logical if you would simply get rid of the whole theistic approach and simply be a deist, one who believes in a creator but not organized religion. You seem to have qualms with what the church and the bible actually say so this pov seems like it would fit you perfectly. JMHO.

- Bottom line is this imo uncircurld, if you want to create your own god and your own set of rules and beliefs by which to abide by, that's fine by me. As long as you're not hurting anyone or trying to change policy with your beliefs, I truly have no issue with you personally and to be honest, as I've mentioned before you seem really nice and a true example of what christ would have wanted had he existed. Although I think even christ would admit that you weren't born a sinner. I just don't get why you claim you're a christian, when your beliefs are anything but. Just doesn't add up to me, but again, they are your beliefs and you're entitled to them. Take care, talk to ya soon.

I have never seen so many confused people in my life......We have some that read the Bible, but don't believe all that it says. We have others that are "Christians" but don't go to church because the churches are wrong. We have those that believe "their God" is too loving to condemn any body that is good and moral. Apparently we have many that have never even read the Bible, or if they did their mind must have been some where else......Dagblame it...you either believe it or you don't...At least the atheist "claim" exactly what they believe and where they are......If you are a Christian....you Truely believe God' word.....Quit going down the middle of the Highway...Take a Stand...just as Sportfisher said.......LUKEWARM...you know where that will get chaya...Please get off the middle of the fence.....not knowing where you stand or your true beliefs is a cop out and thinking that if you play both sides then you will be OK......get real.

Neo, I just have to agree with ya on you last post......
