If you could have chosen your religion ?

[AnnaG]

nope, didn't say that either, did I. Of corse their are those that do that,
just like there are those that don't "believe" that don't give a sh*t about
anyone but themsves. You don' see me making blanket statements about
athiests though, do you.

I don't know, but you did make a blanket generalisation that 3 people haven't a clue what they were talking about when it's pretty obvious that they do have their own points and you just admitted that at least part of what Les said was true.

So, there is no problem with making partially correct statements about a group of people. I'll remember that.

Say whatever you like. No-one is forced to believe you. lol

Still missing the point. I see I was right about you from the beginning.

You'd think religion would straighten out personal differences.

Apparently, religion robs people of a sense of humor and even instills in some a definitively un-Christian behavior.

Ironic isn't it?

 

[gerryh]

and you'd think that someone that objects to being told that their beliefs or lack of beliefs are wrong, wouldn't do the same thing, but I guess that's why they're Hypocrites.

Sorry Ron, you're edited version of what I said doesn't have any where near the same "punch".

....but it's still there, as opposed to not being there at all.

The only Hypocrite here is the only stating he knows our beliefs and thoughts without telling us what they are..

I didn't actually use the word hypocrite. That was Ron's creative editing.

 

[Ron in Regina]

Yes...I'm guilty of substituting the word "Hypocrite" for "Something Else" but with
a similar (I'm assuming) connotation...but worded in such a way that I couldn't
leave the post unedited. I'd either have had to edit or remove the post.

I felt that Gerryh (though worded in a very colorful manner) had made a very valid
point. Gerryh (with the Faith that he follows) isn't trashing Atheists on Atheist
Threads. I believe that was the point that Gerryh was making. If I was mistaken, then I
apologize. I was just try'n to clean things up without completely removing the post.

 

[gerryh]

Ron, it appears trashing Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc, is the status quo here. Two can play that game though.

A prime example of 3 men that don't have a clue what they are talking about.

OK so even with Ron's admittance of changing the post you still have not gotten to the root of the issue.. What is it that I think and what have I trashed in religion ?

I wish I was born a Jew because when I was a little boy the Roman Catholics priests were a little too friendly I just thank God I never became an alter boy
