I'm usually pretty polite but I did get sick of the JWs and finally said, "Listen.  I will never be a part of a religion that would have me choose between it and the life of my child."  You know, as part of the whole blood transfusion thing.  The one woman said to me, "They don't need to use blood.  They can use saline.  It's just to keep the veins open."  I actually laughed out loud and told her she needed to check up on her facts.  They haven't been back since.

I was raised by religious people. I have Theologians in the family, pastors, pastor's wives, Sunday school teachers. My best friend almost went into the ministry. My Mom hosts gatherings at her house and sometimes these gatherings include a Bible Study and she tells me they included me in their prayer session.  ac_biggrin  I know what these people want to talk to you about. They call that "witnessing." They want to bring as many people as they can into the faith and therefore "saving" them. When they approach me, I just say thank you but I am not interested and walk on.

JW, aren't Christains.  That's more of a Christian cult.  I do find it interesting and Christianity is the only faith, where nonbelievers take the root of our beliefs right out of the title. What is an "xtain"?  I am not an "xtain".  I am a CHRISTain.  No one calls buddists "xists".

Good point.  It's just an agenda to shut up religious groups.  I can get behind that.

Muzzle, bully one group as they were bullied before.

Yeah right, jes marginalize one group so the other group can get what it wants.

Yeah that's how the pendulum swings.  The thing is with that this so called gay agenda has many supporters who aren't gay because we can see the religious hypocrisy and control.  I'd rather be a slave to humanity than a slave to the church.

You and I are pretty much on the same page when it comes to religion. As far as I'm concerned, you might as well believe in the easter bunny or the tooth fairy. However, the two religious people we have on this forum are completely harmless although illogical. Xtianity is silly, but not pure evil like Islam. I can tolerate the former, but I won't surrender to the latter.

 That "silliness" has kept me from using heroin for over a year now. I'm also not plagued with crippling depression and anxiety anymore.  Whereas secular doctors almost destroyed me with drugs and useless thereby.  1 minute with God I've never been the same.  I also see that silliness restoring an inner city and helping the homeless get on their feet and find hope. It might be silly to you. But it's everything to others.

That's just laziness.  The "X" means "criss" as in crisscross. If you did that to Buddhists, they'd be Chrisstists and that makes no sense.



I always find it funny when one religion calls another a cult.  That is the pot calling the kettle black if I ever heard it.

 There are certain components present that make a cult a cult, and a religion a religion.  They are very different....but I can see how someone would think that.

Yeah?  What's the difference?

I thought the F was for fundamental.  I married a Mormon.  I know all about them.
