We have gone now from interpersonal conversation to more personal...be careful.

Wait, are saying that a person in your home would have to take your lesson, but you wouldn't have to take theirs at their home ,you would just say no thanks and leave? or would you listen politely then leave?

What do I need to be careful about?

Okay, yeah, I'm suspecting we could be part of some experiment.

In fact I see life as an experiment of some sort.

cool.

Neither does my Christian denomination, but why let the facts get in the way of a good sob story, eh jazzymom?

I find this obvious focused hatred quite odd and would like to know what that is.

And what do you propose by way of remediation?

Is it because many of the vocal atheists were once Christians, so they attack what they know?

Way to throw the Jews under the bus. What a nice "Christian" thing to do.

Many of the Jewish folks happen to be paycheque signers

The bashers need to eat and pay mortgages. So the loyalty is planted deep within their psyche.

That when anybody wants to bash a religion, they get the target correct. If they are bashing proselytizing by Christian Evangelicals and Fundamentalists, they make sure to clarify that from all Christians. If they are angry at the Catholic Church for their handling of the sex abuse scandal, point out that it's Catholics and not "Christians" as a whole. Bashing "Christians" as a whole is ignorant and shouldn't be tolerated.

You know as a nonbeliever in organized religion I find it interesting that the radical aspects of the major religions,(whether they be Christian, Islam, or Judaism) are the ones that apparently get the most attention and because so, tarnish the rest of their members. There are those of the different denominations within their particular belief that don't subscribe to that kind of behavior and unfortunately get dragged into it and suffer because of that kind of behavior. I think it's wrong to judge everyone of one particular religion or belief by a few radicals. That's just my opinion.

Your inability to have a civil conversation stuns me.....

The central belief in Christianity is salvation through Christ. That means the way to the father is through Jesus.

The other central belief is hell and those who do not accept Jesus are headed there.

You might not believe that but the majority of Christians do..l

So from now on can you speak without the smart Moderator cut: deleted remarks???
