Just to make sure I have this straight, when you say non-believers you are really saying non-Christians, right? Not necessarily just filthy libertine atheists and so forth, but everyone who is not of your faith. So observant Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Taoists, various types of latter-day pagans, etc. are all "pop culture" even if they spend their lives in contemplation in some sanctuary or spreading peace and love among the people. Right? Isn't that what your (and Jesus') accursed Manichean culling of "us versus them" is really about?No they are not apart of the pop culture in this country. Pop culture refuses all gods. That is my word for your lack of faith in anything.
Quote:If so, then in answer to your question, I agree that it must be harder to be a Christian than to be part of "pop culture" since I don't have to waste time and effort twisting my reason into a pretzel to justify believing the crazy shit I would have to buy into to be a member of your selective club.But, don't you see the sword you swing has two sides... To be a member of popular culture you have you own rules to follow, your own verion of orgins, your own 'morality' and your own rewards and punishment to be apart of your own selective club.
You are just as messed up as the rest, you even think your version/life philosophy is the ONE true Philosphy and everyone else is wrong.
By all means, tell me about myself and my views on the big issues: What rules do I follow (aside from the civil laws to which we are all subject)? What is my version of origins? What are the basic tenets of my morality? What are the guiding elements of my philosophy? I've read your book, Drich. I doubt you've read most of mine.
