Stereotyping & Religion
« Back To Roofers TalkI have run across this from time to time Mike......very rare. One instance comes to mind, a mention of God to a lady an she got plum redfaced. It seems that they had some type of trajedy in the family , that resulted in the death of a family member, they>>>
Jedd sed.....he he....I made a rhyme
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 ma>>>
Kinda like a commercial break,huh Dave?
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>>>

Nothing in particular about this thread. Just an observation that I've had over the years and it's a tough subject to broach, cuz for many that do feel that way, they go into ">>>
It's hard to get deep in these conversations. People usually are OK with throwing out their opinions, but get defensive when it starts to get above the knees. So far that hasn't happened here, but I'd sure like to see it get deeper if the civility ca>>>

What does hostility towards God look like ? I am serious I can't think of an instant towards God. Now towards other humans and or animals etc I've definitely seen that.
I can tell ya Chuck , it's ugley>>>
PG I would like to hear your experience. I caution was it against GOD ? Or was it a reaction towards another or the same person proclaiming it. Sort of like pushing everything away from us when confronted if we are not being honest or don't want to see t>>>
We are still human Jedd.....we have imperfections that overtake us sometimes

I googled the phrase: hostility towards God and came across this....kind of ironic and eiry at the same time.... 2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Be on guard against him yoursel>>>
No hostility here. Against 'God', anyway, or religion. I get hostile when I find myself against someone proclaiming Christianity and Christian views, but that same someone is showing him/her self to be a total hypocrite.
My morals are based on the com>>>
CIAK,
you're trying to analyze my sentence too deeply. Call it whatever you will, but I've heard a lot of people say they want nothing to do with God, sometimes for things they feel were unfair in their life, sometimes for reasons that had to do with>>>

I didn't think I was directing that at your post or anyone for that matter . The intention was to set some ground rules for a deeper continues dialogue . In discussions like this , one of the worst things that can happen is when someone is of another per>>>
Hiya Lefty,
I like to make my path a winding one. Lots to see and do. Bright lights and dark crannies to peer into. But at the end of my path I will be at the same place as every other life form on this earth. Dead.
