Bolas 5 #26 April 21, 2014 Coreece For the most part, I think that perhaps you may be conveniently lumping us together with the Jehovah's witnesses and Mormons... ...but even then, people don't seem to take it so personally when it's a salesman - why is that? They're all salesman. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
champu 1 #27 April 21, 2014 Coreece******Sharing our experience with others is a major tenet of our faith...Conveniently labeling an obnoxious and intrusive practice a "major tenet of one's faith" does not make it any less obnoxious or intrusive. That's just self-enabling of bad behavior.I suppose as one matures in the faith and has time to hone their skills more tactful approaches can be implemented. Did you know that most spam e-mail (the 80% figure comes up a lot) is propagated by hijacking the resources of the unsuspecting and dimwitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toolbox 0 #28 April 21, 2014 > Here's a suggestion for Christians: keep your religious views to yourself. Stop proselytizing. Stop trying to encode your beliefs in state and federal law. I agree, but why just single out Christians? All religions should be included. For instance the muslim movement to place sharia law above all other law should be squashed flat as well.

I do not seem to remember in my 60+ years of life... EVER being subjected to a knock on the door to my home by muslim or buddist or confucian or hindu or any other religion.. trying to get me to join up today. As for muslims trying to bring Sharia Law to your doorstep... when did that happen to you? On the other hand I have seen far too many instances of the American Taliban and their fervor for controlling everyones private lives and bedrooms around them to believe as they do or suffer the consequences.

kallend 2,027 #30 April 21, 2014 rehmwa***keep your ....... views to yourself. Stop proselytizing. Stop trying to encode your beliefs in state and federal law. Stop telling folks who have different views that they will burn in Hell for eternity. Stop behaving holier-than-thou. Stop insisting that your beliefs are printed on the money we use. Stop trying to force your symbols into public buildings and spaces. Then others will likely leave YOU alone and not think you are busybodying morons. Sounds pretty Libertarian to me. Let's expand it to a lot of other groups, too, and I'm with you. I can't say that I've noticed many other religions trying to get their dogma encoded as law in the USA, or having a motto in support on every coin in my pocket, or trying to get their displays on courthouse doors or outside public buildlings, or even whining that there is a war declared against them. As soon as I see "In Allah We Trust" or "In Vishnu We Trust" on a US coin I'll agree with you 100%.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

normiss 801 #35 April 21, 2014 He can say groups all he wants, yet the thread is about Easter. I think that narrows down the "whatever you want to call them" names to a rather tight definition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all proselytize, evangelize, cajole to sway the majority opinion so that it becomes law of the land. Having something crammed down your throat is just hearing something you don't agree with. Which is a common experience in this society. I have learned a lot from the evangelistic atheists on here about spreading one's faith. ,,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #40 April 22, 2014 OMG how can they do this to us... I feel so PERSECUTED. Google did something reprehensible and anti-Christian yesterday. It was so terrible–so horrid–that we can’t idly stand by without speaking up. Just take a look at this evil, anti-Jesus crap they pulled–and on Easter Sunday no less! On holidays, Google sometimes does a special “doodle” that represents the occasion. Christians are outraged–OUTRAGED–at this year’s offensive “doodle.” See? Right there! PROOF that Google is an awful, anti-God organization hell-bent on destroying Christianity as we know it. …You don’t see it, do you? http://aattp.org/google-celebrated-easter-by-persecuting-christians-with-offensive-doodle-screenshots/ Opposing viewpoint..

To my knowledge the web site doesn't have religious affiliations connected to user profiles and even if it did a lot of folks don't fill out every check box. So . . . where's your data? Or is it possible there isn't any and it's just your feeling due to confirmation bias as a result of a persecution complex or something?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
