Why don't you start a thread on it (god knows you know how to do that) instead of trying to junk up other people's threads?

Let's go on a date to church and have a three way with god

It would be a five way.. father, son, holy shitter
Believing in god ruined my childhood dreams.. I missed out on hookers, drugs, and stealing. . Oh and beating my parents. .

The "relationship" crap is nothing more than denial. The xtians have their sacred text, the imaginary goo-goo-fuck in the sky, the after life, the "end times" horseshit, prayer, worship congregation, and superstitions that must be believed in order to be part of the group. There is a word for that -- religion. All it is is just a lie.

It's like the ID creationists denying that they are creationists. Just a dishonest manipulation ploy.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste -- don't pollute it with bullshit.

Normally "relationship" means something half way between a one night stand and marriage, and offers a semi-reliable fuck without risk to one's own fiscal integrity should things take a turn for the much worse.

I guess that is also more or less what christian means by "relationship".

I thought you were a big fan of the "deeper relationships" stance to address free will and the problem of evil/suffering. Are you saying this is different than "personal relationships"? Perhaps I've been misunderstanding your stance.
