A Methodist in Your Midst

At least he's polite. So far anyway.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
 Quote:Whenever a reporter is assigned to cover a Methodist conference, he comes home an atheist. 
Welcome. You're not going to convert me, but that's okay. I'm happy the way I am.
See ya 'round!

Well that's what you think. With irrationality no intelligent discussion is possible. (March 24, 2012 at 6:24 pm)Stimbo Wrote: At least he's polite. So far anyway. Oh yes, he is.

I grew up around a few Methodists, they were a bit conservative.
They were teetotal Also against sex (lest it lead to dancing) Their main concern seemed to be that somebody,somewhere, might be having a good time. They saw it as their duty to put a stop to it. We called them "wowsers" 
I did discuss some of the questions raised here with my pastor. He said that I should not hang around non-believers, as it will only make my faith weak. But I personally believe that talking to non-believers is just another way to see the truth is my belief. So I am not going to disappear from here but stay here and have fruitful discussions.

Good to see your acting of your own accord.

I think he has authority to give me advise. And yes, I donate to my church every Sunday. It's my Christian duty to support my Church financially. |
