And where you see WC as whining, others see her as having a legitimate complaint against non-Christians. It's a matter of perspective.



I was raised catholic. I believe in God. It not just the non-christians she is irratating with these preachy posts.

I work with a guy who claims to be this hard core christian, yet he is the most intolerate, ignorant person I have ever met. He gets all preachy and because we didn't know where some church was he called us all heathens, not to mention his bizarro views about catholics. Now that's why I get embarrased when people act as such, being a christian and claiming its in the name of God or JC.

Being preachy can be construed as being intolerant of others beliefs, which is why I believe to keep my religious beliefs between me and God.

I respect all good people regardless if they believe in God, Allah, or nothing at all

Judy, I agree that preachy people can be a pain in the ass. However, I think what actually constitutes preaching in the eyes of those who are so annoyed, in reality, bears no resemblance whatsoever to any effort on the part of some Christians to actually proselytize. For example, I often engage in religious debates here, but I don't ever intend to come off as preachy. On the other hand, I have every intention to elaborate and defend the beliefs of my faith. If that SOUNDS preachy to others, there are two options as I see it: 1) I can be asked to change the tone so I don't come off like such a dork or 2) those offended may need to ask themselves why the topic of religion (often SPECIFIC religions) offends them so much.

Windcatcher's initial post is a good case-in-point and I invite you to re-read said post w/ this question in mind: Who was her intended audience? Also, by her own admission later in the thread, this discussion was started in SC not to start a debate, but b/c she thought an undiscerning greenine would automatically place it in SC b/c it deals w/ religion. So, damned if she does, damned if she doesn't, so to speak. >:(

and another thing john, why should she...

keep your religion to yourself. ***

when others, like yourself, don't keep their "religion" of godlessness, unifying philosophy, liberal ideologies, etc. ad nauseum to yourselves?

your rhetoric is just a subterfuge for people like youself who attack people of faith, particularly Christians, and especially Catholics.



That's easy:

1. I don't START threads about my religious beliefs.

2. I don't whine that I'm being "picked on" due to my religious beliefs.

3. This is SC and participation is optional. If anyone chooses to start a thread on some topic, they shouldn't whine that they're being "picked on" when others disagree with them.



Saying you don't whine is like saying the Pope isn't Catholic, John.

Gee John, that's not really much of a claim, since you don't have any religious beliefs

(you're still a kind-sized whiner though) ;)

How is god involved? The only difference this time is he shot his load downstairs instead of her mouth. I just put it down to bad aim. I know a few jewish people that got pregnant and some muslims. Did god have a hand in this also? Unless the baby comes out with long hair and a goaty i will say its just down to bad aim or he couldn't hold out.

Right on Ian. We can all have faith but at the end of the day. PROVE there is a god. Just one ounce of proof. If you say the bible and scriptures blah blah blah. That's not proof it's a great story book. Bit like Harry Potter

Don't fool yourself for a moment that your comment even begins to get under my skin, John.

It's long been known that Pope Benedict's service in the Hitler Youth, as Joseph Ratzinger was compulsory in the early 1940's. Also, he was conscripted into the Nazi Army in 1943 and defected in 1945, risking his own life.

http://bc.edu/research/cjl/meta-elements/texts/cjrelations/topics/new_pope_defied_nazis.htm

In 1999, When he was still Cardinal Ratzinger, my wife and I were honored to be able to spend some time w/ him. He's a very good man.

What is the debate exactly? If you mike can prove that god exists then you can have my business my house my everything. All everyone has at the end of the day is faith. So to come on here and proclaim that God is responsible for shit is pathetic. Don't get me wrong. If religion works for you then that is great. But no-one has any real proof that God, buddha, jehovah pick one... exist.
I personally believe a higher power does exist but i am not going to hold that power responsible for anything that happens:S
Like i said. Everyone can recite all the versus they want. I just want hard proof that is all.

God does "awesome stuff" for people all the time--they just don't normally recognize it comes from Him, or they focus so much on the bad stuff in their lives that they don't ever look at the positive.



While your god was doing his awesome stuff, why didn't he provide a bit better so your pregnancy and child would not have to be supported by tax (medicaid) dollars?

No. Anal people punctuate properly..

"Whole" people generally recognize that such ephemera is largely irrelevant



Properly contructed communications make you easier to understand, and are easy on the reader's eye. Why you think that's irrelevant?

Lack of proper grammar and/or punctuation is just pure fucking laziness or ignorance on the part of the writer, period.

LOL -- it's all about the effort made. If you're going to bother to post, why not go the extra inch and make it presentable? Luckily, most people here seem to agree becasue they do punctuate correctly.

Nobody expects polished copy around here, but some of the shit I see looks like it was written by a 1st grader.

I was speaking about your *cough* cogent remarks regarding god (sic) shooting "his load downstairs..."

Remarks like that do nothing but fan flames of anger.

I believe her point is she is happy to be blessed with child. From a Christian theological worldview, children are considered a blessing from God. Atheists don't buy it ... fine. Her original post said "to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ"
