It seems to me a forum is a place to share information, share ideas and tell of one's personal experiences.
Unfortunately, this forum is unravelling and becoming a mockery of those who seriously wished to discuss religion, and other topics.
You know, I put my neck out there, told honest and humbling experiences, and brother Gray will not even dignify my questions with a response. He has been caught in many lies/mistruths, but just posts a smug ole' snoopy and moves on.
So the forum is a bunch of jokesters (ok, I enjoy it, a lot, actually, I have LOL'ed many times don't get me wrong) and a dictator. A few people with real comments and questions in between. But mostly political propaganda and anti-Muslim, anti-Catholic tripe.
So I propose that we get back to something constructive. Something we can intelligently discuss.
Either that, or we are going to have to play a little forum round of Survivor and vote someone off. This is ridiculous......

Unfortunatly, Veep, as far as religion goes, i would be very surprised if any of us can up with a new idea to talk about. it's all been covered before, and quite a lot of it on this forum lol

i'd be willing to discuss something new if anyone cna come up with something.

" Father, forgive me, i've commited an Original Sin. I poked a badger with a spoon while nakid in public thinking impure thoughts about Bea Arthur."

see.. *THAT* is an original sin.
VP,

I cannot disagree with you that this forum is a mockery. After all, it is a forum about religion.

It serves to lay bare the motivations and underlying reasons for faith or lack thereof. In that right, it is useful. And, to the TD's credit, necessary, especially in the Evangelical South.

The presupposed (and not without reason) inclination of Southerners to be not only religious, but nutty religious, is a hindrance and a disgrace to the South. It is not without foundation, in that some 80% of the South considers itself "evangelical/Fundamentalist" in nature. Still, the 20% of rational people must be heard.

Disgraceful, indeed, and the sooner we reform ourselves, the better off we will be.

If we keep "reforming" ourselves, America will continue it's downward moral slide into oblivion. Even a blind man can see that the more Godless our nation becomes the less peace we have.

You drive out Christianity only to be replaced by Islam. Look at Europe for proof of that.

Billy, I shouldn't be surprised at your continued put down of people but I am surprised at this one.
You question this being VP's playground, then go further to imply with your picture that VP is a bully. Very Christian, huh?

You are constantly scolding or condemning those of us that have a different opinion than yours. I know there are people here that like you & seem to read your long postings, & don't mind your constant making fun & put down of others.

You often misquote some of us, & badger to the point of being mean.
Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black by implying VP is a bully, wouldn't you say?

I should have blocked you long ago but have not just to see how rude you can get.
I wonder just how much of an audience you would have if we all blocked you.

Yes, this is the South…….The Bible Belt. So strong in religion that some think it’s wrong to drink, (Jesus turned water into wine), gamble, dance, etc. We have religion shoved down our throats by “Christians” that tell us how to vote/not vote, what we can have/not have.

If Billy Gray can shove religion down our throats, why can’t Billy Joe Bob Gene or anyone else shove Atheism? It is after all their opinion. Are we not all entitled to be where we want, discuss what we want…freedom of speech?
Have you seen BJBG or, in your words “a few others” say they don’t want anyone talking about God?

I really think it’s funny that you consider me a bully. Have you seen me putting cartoons anywhere with a rude remark or to rudely imply something, while all the time calling myself a Christian?
I’ve never once thought my opinion was the only right one. I have & will continue to defend those that I feel is being attacked unjustly.
A bully is someone that is habitually cruel to others. Not something I would consider myself but then you are, after all, entitled to your opinion.

BTW, if you are a dad........
Happy Fathers Day! Smiler

Personally, I don't think any of these people are "atheists". They more fit the definition of agnostic.
Instead of people (not just you hadenough) pushing them away, we should be embracing them, sharing ideas, and trying to demonstrate what Christianity is really about. The fact that people keep "coming back" is a great sign that perhaps they are interested in seeking God, or other's opinions.
Bible thumping and chastizing does nothing to bring Glory to God. Glory to God is demonstrated by good Christian kinship.

You drive out Christianity only to be replaced by Islam. Look at Europe for proof of that.


Mr. H,

You'll be interested to see this graph. It's a per capita graph of murder by country.

http://www.nationmaster.com/gr...i-crime-total-crimes

Note the USA is at the top, and this a country where 85% of people claim to be Christian.

Countries where religion is taken much less seriously are farther down the list, like Sweden and Japan.

However, Qatar, Albania, and Yemen, largely or entirely Muslim countries, don't even register.

So, can we agree that Christianity does not lead to morality? Would we be better off if more of us were Muslim?

not trying to start another aspect to this argument, just a brief interjection.. a quick side thought, if you will...just a coupel of points.

while it may be true that murder is far down on the list in those countries, so is the value of human life.
this is most true in the muslim countries. what we might list as murder, they merely call "justified punishment because i saw her kissing a man she wasn't married to."
if afghanistan, before ew wandered over, women were killed, in a public stadium, if they were found teaching their daughters how to read.
to me, this was murder, to them is wasn't.

so i think some of the discrepency might be attributed to the definition of murder.

not all of it, i'm not trying to say that, i'm just thinking it's possible that things like this might make the gap bigger that is really is.

with that said, no, christianty does not automatically lead to morality - but neither does it prevent morality.
just like any other label that can apply to people, some are moral, some are not, and not all who claim the label christian really are.
haven't we learned recently that there are some peopel who claimed to be vietnam vets, only to find out they spent the entire war in a office in denver because their father was friends with a senator or things liek that? just cause they said they were combat vets didn't mean it was true. Like Puppy says - you cna call a waffle a wombat, but you'll still get bitten if you try to put butter and syrup on it.
ignore what people call themselves, and watch thier actions. words matter little, actions tell all, as we've seen with our elected fearless leader.

Me too nagle but I never lost control of my self to a point where I thought it was some of the “best laughs“.

It must have been scary after re-gaining your composure.

Were you alone? Were there witnesses? Pictures maybe? Did you <<snort>>, <<chortle>> slap your laig or what .

I’m trying to get a grasp on how someone would think those idiots were a source of one’s best laughs.

While you were googling that link why didnt you ask google about how many of those murders were committed by illegal immigrants? Like this one did?

what is the point of a forum?

A momentary diversion from the ins and outs of a daily life. It can be informative, supportive, divisive, entertaining, outlandish, irritating, and ridiculous.

You can learn things, be called names, discuss the why's and argue over the how's.

A melting pot of opinions and ideas where everyone is right and everyone else is wrong.

If you discuss politics, religion, or sex, it always leads to a snot throw.

Sometimes that's the fun part.

I have been exposed to many new ideas by seeing how someone else looks at the same thing.

Some people are too narrow minded to let another idea slip in and some are quick to berate another if they don't like their view.

We all have things we believe strongly in and resent someone else trying to tell us we are wrong.

Maybe that's the best part. If we have to defend what we think, we grow as a person. We develop our ideas better and see them more clearly and we continue to learn.

Anyway, that's what I think a forum is used for.

I’ve never once thought my opinion was the only right one. I have & will continue to defend those that I feel is being attacked unjustly.
A bully is someone that is habitually cruel to others. Not something I would consider myself but then you are, after all, entitled to your opinion.

BTW, if you are a dad........
Happy Fathers Day! Smiler

I'm not saying this to imply my opinion "is the only one thats right", (I'm quoting you), it's only a difference of opinion.
I don't think "we just said the same thing in a round about way".

Snoopy cartoons is not being a bully? If you look at the cartoon that Billy posted, I wouldn't call it a "snoopy" cartoon. It's a boy rolling up his sleeves with fists at ready, a mean look on his face & Billy termed it as "VP'S PLAYGROUND". If that's not meant to give the appearance of a bully, then I don't know what is.

Thank you for the Happy Mother's day wish, but Mother's day was in May. I wished you a Happy Father's Day because the day I wished it was Father's Day, (June 20th). Wink

Instead of people (not just you hadenough) pushing them away, we should be embracing them, sharing ideas, and trying to demonstrate what Christianity is really about. The fact that people keep "coming back" is a great sign that perhaps they are interested in seeking God, or other's opinions.
Bible thumping and chastizing does nothing to bring Glory to God. Glory to God is demonstrated by good Christian kinship.


Great Post!!!

Hi Chick,

The reason for the Bully Boy cartoon can be found in VP's original post which began this discussion.

You see, VP is convinced that I am anti-Catholic and suggested, "Either that, or we are going to have to play a little forum round of Survivor and vote someone off. This is ridiculous......"

So, I was playing along with his little game by suggesting: VP'S PLAYGROUND?

And, by emphasizing it with the playground bully -- suggesting that VP was being a Playground Bully. All in good fun. Nothing nasty or derogatory intended.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

I appreciate your clarifying that. HadEnough seems to think your bully had something to do with posting Snoopy cartoons not being a bully.

Thank you for letting me know that it was in fun, (though it was a little tacky) & that you didn't mean anything nasty or derogatory about it. Wink

The last I looked, we Americans are still about 90% believers. The numbers go up and down according to who conducts the survey but it's generally between 80 and 90% Christian.

Down south, I think I read that it's more like 95%.

So calm your cackles, Hoob. We are still a nation of believers. That said, I see no correlation between the amount of belief and the rate of crime. In fact, the numbers often suggest a correlation that shows that crime is less in areas where secularism prevails.

But don't worry your little fundamentalist head. We aren't going anywhere.

You quite obviously are, nutboy. It is abundantly clear that you hold nothing but disdain for anyone who does not share your particular snake-handling faith.

Careful, Sofa,

You are beginning to sound more FISHy everyday.

Y'all come back now, ya heah?

It's one of the Pentecostal religion's that believe in snake-handling. I don't think Billy is pentecostal. Wink
