god and stuff

[Torog]

haha..Once again thanks. I guess I come from the "old school" as in as a woman I expect respect BUT I also believe the MAN (a real one) should be the head of the Home..make final decisions etc....Though I must say these days it would seem difficult for the younger ones because Beating a woman into submission is not respect. I was raised Southern Baptist but had to leave that church after I was released from prison and no longer acceptable to them but I have found a church recently that I do believe I will fit in with...and a great community. Thank You Lord!

Howdy Shelbay,

I believe as you do..but many folks who aren't Christian,think that Christian men expect their wives to serve the man,like he's a slave-master,when in fact-serving one another..is what really happens. It's a 2 way street of serving one another and cherishing one another,in a Christian household..not one-sided as many folks believe.

I too,am a recent 'jail-bird' and with my long hair and beard,I doubt if my Church would want me around either,I'm happy that you found a church that will accept you,unconditionally .:thumbsup: Praise the Lord,indeed !

Have a good one !

[Torog]

THAT, Sir, is something I think we ALL agree on!!

Howdy Funken Monken,

Amen to that ! lol

Have a good one !

I will pray for you about that Torog...we will One or more in his name I serve my husband with pride..he works hard!! Like 16-18 hour days for weeks at a time. Hes not home much but when he does get here I have his food hot and ready,the remote is his lol..then I actually run his bath water for him..even wash his hair lol. I enjoy doing that for him and more because the day he came in looking sooo worn out and looked at me and he said....It's good to be home,now I know why people fight so hard to keep it...that was my defining moment to give him control. Anyway some of my younger friends actually believe he controls me lol....they just don't know what they are missing. :smokin: We share the same faith also..actually the only subject we agree on lol. :stoned: I have enjoyed meeting you on here Torog.

Howdy Shelbay,

Thanx for yer kind words and prayers,I will pray for y'all as well:thumbsup:

I too,like to take care of my gal,after she comes back from a long day in the city..it don't mean that she's got me whupped either,I cherish her and respect her and she takes good care of me too. We raise each other up-when the other is down..and we give each other,unconditional love,we've been together for 10 years now and we haven't had a single argument or angry words towards each other..and when we disagree-we agree to do so and move on.

I too,have enjoyed meeting you and I'm glad that yer here !

Have a good one !

do any of you believe in god and that crap? because obviously i dont.

i believe that the whole religion and god movement began long ago, and was started by sum1 who wanted to change the world into a better place, which didnt happen. sad.

I don't really believe in God, but I don't have problems anymore with people who do. If believing in something helps them get through their day, makes them happy, so let them believe, but I choose to be my own person, my own God. I just don't like it when religious folks try and change other people. If I choose not to follow God, then I get looked down on by people who do. They ring my doorbell at 8am every Sat. morning giving me a flyer and a few choice words, thinking that that is going to change the world...what's worse about that, is they get paid and make money when they do.

But hey, whatever makes people happy, but stop trying to change the world.

god is the outdated explanation of the previously inexplicble, and a tangible statement of outdated morality

So, you're saying we can now explain the creation of man? :smokin:

Torog: Just don't tell her your girlfriend is a Jew or you may find that newfound friendship dangling by a thread. She doesn't hate. No, no. She just doesn't want "that politically correct crap pushed down [her] throat."

It is extremely interesting to find out both you and Shelbay have been in jail/prison after I already had a chance to read a lot of what you had written. I'm involved in the planning stages of a Christian outreach group dealing mostly with inmate addiction. Including drugs (obviously) but other addictions as well like kleptomania. Really anything and everything. I was initially concerned about approaching these problems from a religious perspective. There is a real chance to replace one addiction with another. Anyone that has ever been to a Christian church has met people that are indeed addicted to religion. I can't say you've calmed my fears.

You know... "meeting god half-way" is not an expression you hear used very often these days. He seems so cold without that little bit of humanity.

I think all you non-believers are idiots! It's God who controls everything and watches over us!


God, I can't help it, I laugh whenever I think about how ludicrous that sounds.

The bible is a story... It's a book... like, what is so hard to believe. I guess it's completely inconseivable that there ISN'T a magic all-powerful being, when we have NO prove of it's existence? There is prove of evolution... maybe there are holes but how can there not be, when it's a fairly new concept and no human was around for the beginning. God is a concept so old and it's STILL filled with holes (While we are finding new things about evolution all the time) and plus, there is NO PROVE.

I don't care, it's just funny to me, that's all.

Why do persist in telling lies on here..just to spout hate out of your mouth?? You know you never answered the question either.You have issues with me because once again I spoke my opinion and you could not answer my questio :smokin: nabout the Numbers correct. Right. As for your slug about why we were both in prison..it is none of your concern. You didn't have to include me in your post to state your opinion on religion..you just like insulting me and twisting my posts..but hey thats your burden.You know nothing about me except what you read on here..if you don't like me fine but please stop attempting to interfere with every thread I post on....or at the least when you can't answer a question don't lie okay..okay. :smokin:

Lies? Of course they are lies. Not a simple misunderstanding or a misinterpretation of your words but I am a liar. You're EXACTLY right. I only know what I read about you. So, correct or clarify but don't call me a liar.

I made no judgments about you being in prison. Like I said I am involved in prison outreach and I wouldn't be if I didn't want to. How can you bash that? As for me interfering with "every thread" you post on. This is the second, it wasn't directed at you, and I will reply to any thread I like.

There is no need to over-react and get upset. This is an internet forum meant for discussion not just smiles and nods. You have your values... fantastic. So do I.
