Are you serious? This is what you believed at the time right?
I now a local church that has such arcane seeming ideals ..I don't judge, I just react negatively against it. We have some brethren close by too but I never get to meet them. They're very erm, old fashioned too.

Well, when I convinced them to join I was a Christian. It's not like I wanted to lure them into something bad. I didn't see it as bad. I'm just saying I feel bad about it now. Am I not making sense? Because I am kind if confused by your question.

But surely the ends justify the means when it comes to something as important as saving our immortal souls? You can't blame him for going with the best material he can find, can you?

I prayed that the Lord may have forgiveness and mercy on you.
Gee .. thanks for stepping in and keeping me from committing suicide by god. You sure are powerful. And boy, what connections! Who knew your internal thoughts could make such a difference in the world. Good thing for god and me that He has you to advise Him. You are hero in your own mind.

No you're making perfect sense. Sorry I kinda changed tack half way through, sympathising with you.
I suppose it seems odd to me that oppression like that is so tied to adherence. Some people don't see it as oppression, I know. Wow that's a whole other subject! /end

Your religion is harmful and dangerous, especially to young women. I find it repulsive that you would think to take advantage of a vulnerable person so as to lead them away from reality and into Christianity. I hope you've always sucked this bad at converting people. I know I feel a sense of shame thinking of all the lives I may have ruined luring unexpecting young women into the church. I think I feel more guilty about that than anything else I've ever done.
I am sorry you feel that way. The golden rule speaks of treating others as you would have them treat you. If this is being followed you have nothing to be worried about.

The golden rule is stupid. You should treat others the way that they want to be treated.
Also the golden rule is not supported by Christianity. Raping and pillaging yes. Being kind, only sometimes.

That doesn't work either. Perhaps, treat others as they wish to be treated as long as it doesn't interfere with how you wish to be treated. :-)

How about treating me badly until I say the safe word?

I vote for a vigorous round of this, everybody.
