Stereotyping & Religion

Hello Jason.....while I'm not officially on the welcoming comitte , for my part , make yurself at home.>>>

MikeH, [quote]Do we not have centuries of written examples in history where good begets good and bad begets bad? One would think that common sense alone, and the examples of history would be enough to convince us that "right" is always best for us. >>>

Re:Stereotyping & Religion 1 Day, 1 Hour ago I think I get it a little clearer. You live Christian morally , you just aint took the plunge yet. Am I warm? It is fine and good to live it even if you are not Christian..good begets good as far as I see>>>

Hi Dennis,

Everyone of us is on the same path. Different parts of the path. If you believe that someone who is mudding the waters is on a differnt path>>>

Good question Jedd, these are areas that for me ,takes some thought , to be able to reply in a best answer possible. Delicate areas for sure. I'll have you something before long. Puts me in mind of something an old preacher said one night just as we were>>>

As, it seems that this conversation has come to something that I would prefer to not talk about....death is on the table. My 94 year old grandfather died when he fell coming out of the bathtub, and cracked his head open....My 81 year old father died whe>>>

Mike, In my case I have no hostility towards god, religion, or christians. I just am of.....different opinions/persuasion. If I have hostility towards anything it is the hypocrisy I see....the contradictions. I see many who proffess to conform and don't.>>>

Jedd, I hope this will be a suitable answer to your previous post.

Taking the plunge is not an option". As I stated earlier, I believe in evolution, not divine design and I can't (am not allowed?) to do both, so accepting christianity and a belie>>>
