But your rep is likely to suffer, so is the rep of all the openly insulting bigots. Your posts are generally not openly insulting. Close minded and somewhat intolerant but so far no open insults. The entire reason for this thread was to bring scorn on others personal spiritual paths by associating them with abortionists and Nazis. I hope you don't put much thought into why I may link you with medieval witch hunters and inquisitors. You may try using your own words and not copying and pasting more. What does your lord say about those who stand up and preach just to be seen?
Sharing an article that I may consider an interesting read is hardly an endorsement of its contents. I recently re-read "Mein Kampf", and have not shaved my head and gone off into the woods for target practice.
Throwing the word "bigot" around does not make it so. You know that!
By the way, my "rep"? You are kidding, right? Aren't you putting a tad too much importance into an internet discussion forum? How much impact, really, do you think anything any of us says in this cyber space has on the real world!
Ah, but he did not call you a bigot, he insinuated you were intolerant and closed minded.
Which I would have to concure with.
sanctus, it is people such as yourself, gopher, logic7 and so on, that are my driving force to come out in the nether regions of cyber space and counter, with equal or greater extremes or the truth, which ever catches my fancy that day.
Exactly, but let's be honest. It's really not of any importance to our real lives. It's a diversion, an exercise. I very much doubt most of us would speak the same to one another if we were physcially in a room together.
In fact, I'd bet most of us would get on just fine, different beliefs and all.
i'd creep up behind you and beat you with a broomstick
ok, just opened this thread and this was the first post...uhm..i think i better go read something else..you boys are getting nasty!!hah hah hah:laughing7::laughing7:
You are likely right, my offer to take you fishing in the great beyond still stands.
ROTFLMFFAO!!!i'd creep up behind you and beat you with a broomstick
Guys somepeople think this is all a joke, that it doesnt hurt anyone. Ive spent nights crying, praying to Fae an Pan that Id find the right words or the right tone so that those that read my words find solice or fellowship. But there are those that find this all a game that think that hurting words do nothing to the reader. I Thank Goddess for friends like you Bear and Rom that see this isnt a game. You see that this touches REAL people and I thank you for your words.

As a representative of your religion I would thought that you would pay more attention to your words. Openly formenting hatred is hardly a good christian attitude. Persuation is one thing. Openly scorning anothers beliefs is something else. I suspect you are not a very good priest or christian. I myself say nothing here I am not willing to stand behind publically. To do anything less would be hypocritical. Christian go on and on about repression of the christian religion in muslim areas but repression of pagans in NA is acceptable. Would you prefer if we divided up the world in to cantons that only certain beliefs or races could inhabit?

If you are making a pagan reference, it's actually called a "besom" if a witch uses it for rituals and such.
I have several
I use them to sweep out negitive feelings and energies in my house
Kind of wordy but a good theory about the relationship between pagans and christians.

We are not of Adam's and Eve's lineage. We were not born in to "original sin".
Interesting thought about Jahweh wanting blood sacrifice not crops. This is what upset Cain. His sacrifice of crops, grains and veggies was rejected by his god. Not a good reason to kill your brother but still.........

Effective Answers When Christians Get Nasty:
"I forgive you for your acts against me, here, have the other cheek"
"Here seems you have a plank stuck there, lemme help you pull it out"
"<<Insert nasty word here>>, huh?? That word in the bible??"
"Seems to be you're not being exactly christ-like. How about this. You go out and become a real christian, then we can discuss our religions together"
"Which bible would that be? Masonic, gideon, kjv, nce, satanic, greek orthodox, book of mormon, apocrypha, torah...??"
"Funky, I don't recall christ ever saying that."
And my favorites:
"So basically, as a christian, you believe that do unto others thing. So what you're saying is that you want me to belittle your faith. I don't play those games, but you might want to try http://www.Antichrist.Com."
"That's okay. You are misrepresenting your faith and mine. Seems to be a pattern with you. Maybe you should talk to a minister."
"Well, actually, you've got my faith completely wrong, but that's understandable, i've studied it, you haven't. But I forgive you."
"I affirm your right to act like a moron, and I promise I will not hold it againsts real christians, in fact, I forgive you."
Responses to "I will pray you find Christ"
"What, he lost?"
"Will that prayer be in a marketplace or on a street corner"
"Edwin Goodenough, a scholar of religions, studied many cultures and noticed that in most of them, the feeling of having lost one's faith was as real as losing a leg or a hand. I hope you're happy praying someone lose their faith, and I pray that it never works should someone do it to you."
"You know, Pat Robertson says that there are satanists out there praying good christians lose their faith. And you pray I love mine...And you are different from them in what way??"
"I won't pray you lose your faith, though you'd pray I lose mine. I will pray you find yours, though."
Responses to Jesus Loves You!!
"Jesus loves me? Sure, if jesus loves me, he loves my religion, it is a sacred part of me I won't be changing anytime soon."
"Yes, dear, but Apollo loves me more and he's a hottie."
"Then why doesn't he return my phone calls??"
Lastly, When I'm Feeling Really Nasty:
"You know, I want to thank you. It's folk like you that have made my religion grow and grow. Who knows, without enemies our faith might've died out, again, I thank you!!"
"I forgive you for your acts against me, here, have the other cheek"
