GOD

[F L E S H]

That is exactly what I think. My hubby is catholic (and I am pretty sure fleshes parents were too. Dad goes to church every sunday, yadda, yadda). I got married in that church, and had to go through a lot to do so. I am not a catholic, I was LUCKY to have the privlege of using their church, since the family had such close ties. Please. And my mother in law, woman is always sending us stuff cause our son hasn't been baptized yet. OH dear god, my child who was born in sin will go to hell if I don't have him baptized before he dies. I doubt it. I prefer to let my son make his own decisions when he is old enough to understand what he is doing.

Well, I guess there's hope for you yet... That's the most sensible post you've written.... And to shed some light, yeah, my parents were Catholic, just anybnody from Italy is Catholic. But I was never forced to go to Church, my parents aren't even very religious themselves. Let's just say that religion was definitely not an important part in our lives. Yet, as I grew older, I realized that religion is important, and it's affecting everyone, whether they believe or not, and usually in a very negative way. That line of questionning led me to what I am today.

You made a tpoic, posted some stuff about God, so post about the alternative. Why don't you read and give your thoughts? It's not boring, it's well written, and it's entertaining (well, the same way a car crash is entertaining to look at...)

Actually, without trying to be rude, I do find it boring. It looks like blah, blahblah, blah blah blah blahblah to me.

How does it "look" any different from you first post? It's a wall of text, that's all.

If you had looked outside the box you have given religion due to your parents "abuse" for a lack of a better term, you would have seen spirituality. Religion is about all the rules, and getting as many people, and making money. Spirituality is about your own special relationship with GOD that doesn't have to take place at a church, spirit is everywhere

Here you go on about not reading posts, and you don't even read my posts... How can we talk this way?

Well, it's very long, the material is bland, and I am SO not interested in the topic, the author, or the poster. That is how, honey

As it should be Eva. Teach our kids to make informed decisions on their own...critical thinking etc. and be lifelong learners.


Les,
thanks for the post it was an interesting idea.


Flesh,
it is apparent that Sam, and you, have no idea what the Bible actually says. The danger for all of us is twisting the Word to make it fit our agenda. I don't expect you to understand. Actually, the Bible tells me that you won't. lol

The reason I went on about not reading posts is because I was having to repeat things I have already said, over, and over, and over.

And I don't know why you want to talk to me so bad? You aren't going to change me, and I don't care if I change you.

No shit, Flesh, have you read the whole bible? every single version? Do that, then bitch about me not reading your stuff, K?

LOL I don't know about every single version. Start with one and use a word study dictionary or other tool to ensure you get to the original text and meaning.
