where did you think I went? I am always reading it's just that most of the time I have better things to do than argue like a school girl of why someone is correct and why I am wrong and why the god they believe in is the right one to believe in.
They're a lot of keyboard cowboys and usually I don't say much. hooker is so dumb that he couldn't pour piss out of his boot if you wrote the instructions on the heel and a guy has to let him know this every now and then.
Are we back in grade school? Honestly, that's the lamest thing a person can say in a forum. "Hey look.....people are talking to me about you behind your back. But I'm not telling you who they are or what they say." Really PT, I love you, but that's childish.
Alright guys. This thread is about how young kids are too smart to not get married. Or is it because they dont have enough god in there lives to realize they have to get married? Wait now im confused, ill just ask Hooker, oh wait hes apparently dumb now. Maybe thats why he never killed a deer. Ill ask Vito, oh wait, dammit, hes done with this thread, i guess i should ask the Preacher...but then he'll talk about me behind my back. Dammit. Ill just ask Duck, he knows everything. Muzzy Man scares me, hes in a bible cult i think. Drunk posting over!
Your right, Dan ... my apologies, Matt .... I don't know why I let you under my skin .... I would appreciate you (Matt) not commenting on anything I say tho ... all you seem to do is bite at my ankles no matter.what the topic ..... I will give you the same respect ...
I knew a religion thread couldn't go on forever without getting a bit snippy. I was quite entertained by it all.
Thanks for the re-explanation Fitz, It was some time ago, I decided to take every sermon I ever heard and remembered and delete it from my mind and just start over. I was tired of playing the religious game and hearing nothing but regurgitated messages from preachers who had long since become irrelevant. You've said it pretty well and I did not at all mean to question your faith and if it seems I did, I am sorry. I can tell you're solid but you just don't like playing the church game. I don't either and I know that is what turns many off concerning Christianity. I know the Bible seems difficult for many to understand or find any interest in, largely because of the way it gets presented. However lets also understand that because some get its interpretation wrong, or use it in offensive ways does not mean it is wrong or not useful in drawing people to salvation. The story of the Jesus you are so attracted to is told in the Bible, that's the part that draws you and it is what draws me. I could care less about all the drama that man adds to it, that's just silliness and does nothing but confuse people, further solidifying their negative opinions about Christ and His church. I think we have seen it in play throughout these posts. Some have even gone so far as calling one another names and even a few friends have asked each other not to respond to their post anymore, thats kind of sad. You are correct, it's not a one and done deal. It's not an hour on Sunday morning, but a lifestyle that says I give myself away every day so that others can live and experience the liberty of love and acceptance that is found only in Christ. That scares some and they respond to their fears in different ways. Some in angry words tossed at the messenger, some in wisecracks, some by presenting mathematical equations. Some even have said they are done with this conversation but they just can't seem to stay away because in the very fiber of every one of our beings, it may just be that He is speaking to us all in a still small voice and we crave it and no matter how hard we try to deflect or ignore it or dilute it, that voice we hear is His piercing words that we all need Him and we all need each other.
