My opinion of The Triangle (Fayetteville, Wilmington: military, coastal, winter)

[OhioNative35]

Strip mall churches were no different in Cleveland.

And only to address the OP, yep, it is great to make 100k+ a year working in RTP.

Should I be able to look at porn?

I mean after all the prudes don't have to "sit in front of it all day, barely have to look at it..."

Work should be kept to business related items. I really don't need to see or hear your religious beliefs when I'm at work. It is inappropriate and belongs in your home.

I am a Christian, but I'm also not STUPID enough to think that the rest of the world is Christian, nor do they want or need to be.

Well "least religious" is subjective. I'm sure that every church wants every community to be "more religious".

That's like saying that Raleigh never gets cold. Yeah maybe to someone from Alaska. It's all a matter of perspective.

I worked at a place where a woman had her entire desk plastered with religious messages -- I mean the entire work area. They were mostly "love and peace" and "I'll pray for you."

Didn't bother me a bit. In fact, I thought they were fascinating.

But if she had approached me and tried to "save" me, that would have been a problem.

Darn right. And while you're at it, take those family photographs and pictures that your kids made you off your cubicle wall. I mean, I'm a family man, but I'm not STUPID enough to think that the rest of the world is too, nor do they want or need to be.

Your argument is specious and a waste of perfectly good electrons.

So does that mean he can look at porn? Or should he simply resort to having the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar on his wall?

Yes, because porn, religion and family are all equivalent, and life is a giant reductio ad absurdum.

And I finally get to use the smack-forehead icon.

Where did anyone say porn, religion and family are equivalent? We are talking about being offensive.

Personally, I don't get offended by looking at a naked person. So maybe to you, nudity (a.k.a. "porn") is an offensive thing.

You can stand there and tell me because I don't believe in the fairytales in "the good book", that I'm going to hell. Is that not offensive?

Yet, we are all born naked. The body is a work of art. We are adults and all have breasts, and private parts. Yet looking at this is offensive.

You're right though, they aren't equal. Religion is FAR more offensive.

Really guys?? This troll meanders in, drops a turd and slips away while everyone starts flinging pieces of it at each other. I think winter is starting to get to some people . . .
