I couldn't agree more but I don't think Adrian would agree with that though I'm sure he'll confirm or deny.

I never implied he would agree or deny telling someone that, but in the regards to it being the "Only" information during that conversation they seemed to understand after reading all evidence, but still denying the facts...Well, apparently they don't need to be discussing their faith on an Atheist forum in the first place, and I would have no problem with telling them what they should be doing during their downtime.....Smile

What sort of fantasy land do you guys live in!

Likewise I feel the urge to similarly blast the bigoted. It's therapeutic in that it helps stem pain apparently, what's our excuse tho'?

I was on a board where they considered "crap" a swear word. It was never a swear word in my family, but in the old South it was. So make sure you compile a f@cking list of the words we can't use.

Damn't Kyu, you beat me to it.....lol

Frodo, just for clarification reasons, I did not and was not looping all "Christians" under that rock of bigotry. Just the mass majority that come to these forums and have no problem with acknowledging slavery in the Bible which "God" accepts, but believe homosexuals should be burning in hell for their act of. Wonderful moral outlook between the two isn't it..........Dodgy

So please tell me how you can be a "Christian" and obviously ignore the hundreds of mythological similarities between the fantasy world of your pearly gates and golden roads, but then accuse someone else of living in one?

No pearly gates or golden roads in my reality Samson Smile

Likewise I don't label all of you with an equal brush of bigotry. *group hug*

I just realized I hadn't weighed in on this topic yet.

BOO censorship, this is an adult forum and cursing is necessary.

No. Swearing is only words and bluster.
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
