I like my bull$#!^ just fine too! Tongue

I think mine has a better flavor than his though.

To us it is just SS-DD. Same Shit - Different Denomination. Unlike G-C and his baptist buddies, I consider mormons to be xtians...along with catholics, JWs and assorted bible belters. It is not a title of honor so I'll gladly give it to anyone who wants it.

The ad homs are palpable on this thread. hiver:

Anyway, I think the Christians on this Thread have made some pretty good points about why prayer is important, though I agree with BWS that the icky feeling sucks when people tell me that they'll pray for me. (As a Mormon, I get this a lot from other religions.)

I think the point of prayer is only what you make of it. "Ask and ye shall receive". It's simple if you use faith. God will mete out to you what he desires to give you. He's fickle like that, as is his prerogative. If a person starts a prayer and doesn't expect much, he won't receive much.

Prayer is useful if one actually makes use of it.

You should read what I said about prayer before telling me how to use prayer. As for my retorts to our atheist friends, it's all they notice or listen to.

I do? I thought I was just making commentary. Thanks for letting me know.

Not even that, G-C. You are just the same old bible-thumping shit.

Always.

I'm glad to hear that you assumed I didn't read what you said...it's very telling of your character. Christ would be very proud of your attitude, brother.

To get the Atheists to talk to you, you need to break down the barriers that you put up. Using ad homs is a bona fide barrier, and you, sir, are full of them. I'm not saying the Atheists don't have their fair share, but they're more justified in using them in reference to you than you are to them.

Also, I don't get to tell you how to pray: Christ does. And BWS is right that you're acting like a Pharisee. Looks like some of his Mormon background is helping him put you in your pitiful place.

Good retort...just try not to bring me into it in this manner, if you will. Ask anyone here; I'm about as far removed from Mormonism as a man could get.

Now this is entertainment! (Someone tell Minimalist not to bother with the lion.)

Just FYI, 'athiest' needs no capitalization.

Yeah capitalizing "atheist" might give people the wrong impression about us...it might get them thinking we're some kind of religion or something. That would be a disaster for free thinkers such as us!

Actually, I listen to reason, but thanks for assuming something wrong again.
