Christian hypocrisy

Really?

Cost in currency is only 1 aspect of stuff in my view. To me, the taste of an elk or a moose steak is priceless even if it does cost more currency than going to the supermarket to get a ribeye or t-bone beef steak. I also look at quality.

But we can look at the cost in currency. It is $25 for a moose or elk tag. Because we live in a rural area, we do not need to go far to get game and sometimes can just hike up the mountain a ways, so gasoline is negligible and the hike is usually enjoyable recreation. One can add in the one-time costs, as well. Those would be the cost of rifles, licenses, etc. We use a Winchester M94 30-30 carbine, an Enfield .303, and a a Remington 30-06. The carbine cost about $170 at the time, the Enfield cost $130, and the Remington about $280 at the time. The cost of ammo is negligible. We process our own meat so we do not count the cost of wages. As I have been hunting for almost 30 years, the cost of hunting to me is under $50 per year and even less for hubby.
Cost of a buying beef? If you do not get storebought beef but buy from a ranch in BC, you are looking at about $800 for 160 kg. cut and wrapped. The hot hanging weight of a bull elk is a bit less, about 140 to 150 kg. Bull moose are heavier.

How many hunters from the city have that kind of access?? They can find the same meat in any decent butcher shop.

I'f you ever tasted a burger made with ground moose with the right amount of beef suet blended with the moose meat to give it the right consistency so it doesn't crumble.....you would be hooked!

Yes, back to the topic of the thread. Hypocrisy.

Are you being an antisemite by pointing out that Jews only make up 1.8% of the population, but 3% of abortions? I know that you aren't talking about Protestants because they make up 47% of the population, but only 26% of abortions. Perhaps you're taking about Muslims which make up 0.9% of the population, but 3% of the abortions when you're talking about hypocrisy. You racist Islamophobe! Or perhaps you're talking about Catholics which is similar to the national average, but remember most Catholics are nominal, so they don't actually follow the teachings of the religion.

I do believe that the man was pointing out that he believes that most Christians do not follow the teachings of Jesus as was recorded in the four gospels. Pretty sure that's was the point. I've mixed thoughts on the subject but will keep those to myself.

Most Christians aren't that religious these days. Most are cultural and fairly liberal, and thus pick and choose what they want. Plus, abortion isn't really touched on in the Bible directly, so it's not hypocritical to be devout Christian and be pro-abortion.

N0t all Christians are sola scriptura either. There are several different sects of the religion that believe differently. Again I believe he was mainly referring to the recorded words of Jesus like the Beatitudes , etc., etc.

You are trying to compare the realities of today with events related in a story book.

Don't be so silly. The Bible isn't just a "story book" to Christians. It's a very important tool to bash people that they disagree with. Besides, are you suggesting that the teachings of Jesus are irrelevant to Christians today just because the world is changed.

Bullwinkle was delicious.

You're actually beginning to hit on a little sense. Your spelling is still the sh*ts!

May the ghost demon of Bullwinkle torment your dreams for eternity

Actually it's a collection of books that the religious don't have the time to read much less use to bash.

In fact, it was Rocky that introduced me to the delicacy of Bullwinkle burgers... I figure that he has my back in terms of any dream-consequences.

I don't doubt that most people I know that identify themselves as Christian, haven't bothered to read the bible. Many of those do love to bash people with it.

All that proves is you get knowledge out relative to the reading time you put in. That works for a lot of topics other than the Bible.

And you don't bash people?????????????????? And what credentials do you have that enables you to identify Christians?

Okay, the Beatitudes are like "blessed are the peacemakers..." Great stuff, but that doesn't really have anything to do with what Twila was saying. Twila was saying that Christians are hypocrites for having abortions. That only applies for Christian who don't agree with abortion, and then have abortions (as it does for Muslims and atheists who have abortions while thinking it's wrong to do so). Someone who changes their mind over time toward the prolife position is not a hypocrite if they had an abortion in the past.

Agreed.

Although I do think that had little to do with what canook was getting at.

It is a issue when the devout christians who are trying to in-act laws that prohibit access by non devout christians and non christians from attaing them ALL THE WHILE the devout christians are the ones accessing the abortion services as indicated in the images and article I posted.

well, that's my bone of contention which is in keeping with the topic of this thread as started out in the beginning of the thread...
