Amen!

You have no idea what I have read, nor do you know my knowledge on these subjects, which I can garrenty you are better than average.

See, you are an atheist too... I just believe in one less god than you do?

Can you tell me how you disprove Zeus, Thor, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Seriously, how is it that it seems perfectly logical to you to not believe in most gods, but the one with which you were brainwashed must be believed in?

Well at least you know when to admit intellectual defeat.

Way to bow out gracefully.

Yet, Christianity is created from and based off of OLD JEWISH LAW...Which means as much as you'd like to throw away the parts you don't like, they are still relevant to the complete ideology of Christianity...Otherwise ya'll would only have a New Testment without it's being attached to the Old Testement.

And it is actually kind of funny, that you'll spout the 10 Commandments when it suits you to do so on issues you like/don't like...But yet it's actually 'Old Jewish Law'...Not Christian law. Christians adopted it, but the laws themself are Jewish Law...

Thanks for proving Tadpole and my point of 'cherry picking' the portions you like or use, while ignoring the portions you don't by labeling as unimportant, unrelated, not your perferred interpretation.

You didn't say just Tadpole...YOU said 'You people talk of tolerance, but are about the most untolerant bunch of people I have ever seen.'

If it's just 'Tad' you're offended by and showing you intolerance, then address it as 'Tad is showing intolerance'...But when you lump everyone into the same catagory as you're lumping Tad...Then don't be surprised when those you're lumping in with him to set you straight...

Because there's a number of people here that haven't shown any intolerance towards you or your beliefs...Disagree with your beliefs or opinions...But disagreeing with them isn't 'intolerance'.

You really have to ask what legislation has to do with it? When individuals like yourself are constantly screaming 'it's a CHRISTIAN nation'...'we need a CHRISTIAN President that puts CHRISTIAN ideologies into law' iin regards to personal rights and privelages such as abortion or SSM?

Despite the fact that not all American's are Christians let alone all Christians follow the same principles, nor should be forced to adopt a segment of Christian principles/ideologies that go against their own teachings or ideologies? Just your 'preferred' Christian ideology/interpretation?

Sorry, but not only does the Constitution guarentee freedom of religion...It also guarentees freedom FROM religion as well. And in this case, we should be free to not be forced to conform to your particular flavor of Christianity in regards to our personal freedoms in regards to our own bodies or who our adult partners should be.

ROTFLMAOL! So now you're going to deny telling myself or other pagans here that our beliefs aren't 'real beliefs', or that our beliefs are insuperior to yours because we don't follow the same ideology or conformity to your 'God'?

I don't have enough toes and fingers to count the number of times you've personally told me my beliefs were wrong, against 'God', and I'd go to hell unless I 'opened my eyes to the truth' of your personal choice and interpretation of your particular strain of religion.

And like I've told you before...Druids worship trees...I'm not a Druid. Just like I'm not a witch yet you can't seem to keep straight either.

But how could I expect you to even know the basics of the different Pagan ideologies, when you can't even understand the different Christian ideologies there are either let alone respect those differences without playing the 'my version is the better version' game?

They always crumble so easily when scrutinized...

The Bible: "It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies."





Mark Twain

Mark Twain was a wise man.

Matthew 18:20



20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

I dont see any place in the bible where it says you must be a Catholic. You show me where it does.

So then you never actualy read the new test then hu?
Romans 7:4
4So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

Christianity came from the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ, it didnt come from old test Jewish law

Again, you totaly lack understanding of the situation, for if you had knowledge of the new test you would know that 1 there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8

I ignore nothing, its you who have no understanding.
I would have just said Tad, if you werent being his little cheerleader. By you thanking him for such posts, you attach yourself to them.
You said yourself that trying to invalidate someones beliefs is being intolerant. Well take a good look around AP, nearly every thread in this sec is meant to invalidate my beliefs. Denie it all you want, it is what it is.
You mean I vote according to my conscience? So what? So does every other person that votes. Its my right as a American, and I will never apoligize for it. You dont like it, then move someplace else. I myself am glad that every American has a say in our goverment (whether thats actualy true or not is another matter) By the people, for the people. There are pleanty of other countries you could move to where Christians have no say, maybe you would be more happy someplace else.
No one is forcing anything on you, this is the biggest bunch of hyperpole crap I have ever seen.
No more than you have done to me. What makes you better??
BS. I dont even get involved in the very few threads that you have talked about your religion, till it turned into a bash the Christains thread.
See thats the thing, I really dont care what you believe. Im not obsessed with what you believe the way you are concerning what I believe.
What the hell do you mean I dont understand different Christian ideologies? Where do you come up with this crap?
