If there is one thing about me that people cannot deny is that I am blunt and honest.

Do I think that people who are religious need help? No doubt. No one answers when I ask them what is the difference between god and Peter Pan. If I told you I believe Beauty and the Beast and that I KNEW for a fact that it was legit and believed in it, YOU ALL (including the religious people especially-LOL) would think I was nuts.

Question once again...what is the difference between Beauty and the Beast and the Bible/Koran/Vedas or any religious book?

And one other thing. No one can accuse me of being unfair too. I say what needs to be said. I say things about Muslims that people may think is rude but I am not one of those people who bash Christianity and Jews but drool over Muslims. I bash them all equally. And when they do good things, I admit it.

Anger? Please, harborlady.

People who want to practice a religion have a right to choose that religion. They also have a right to express this religious preference to everyone else. Others who don't want to hear it, have the right to ignore it.

Same thing with atheists. They have a right to choose not to practice any religion. They have a right to express this preference to everyone else. Others who don't want to hear it, have the right to dismiss it.

This is a great country. In many countries, citizens do not have a choice.

You can think it, but you don't have the right to say it?

If we treated others with more respect, the world would be advanced that much further. Peace be to you.
You're complaining about people giving you unsolicited opinions, I'm saying merely by BEING here on these boards, you are soliciting any opinion someone wants to toss your way. So if you have a problem with that, your choice is clear. I respect people that earn it, whether I agree with them or not.

I've got a track record on this forum and so do you. I'm religious and I've never hidden that fact from anyone. I'm not fearful and don't hold up crosses in your face as if you were a zombie dracula. Run for the hills, get the posse going, the atheists are coming!

Can you discern the difference between myself and others who take liberties they ought not to take? Those others are misrepresenting religion and get national spotlight. The people who do earnestly represent religion in their everyday lives aren't glamorous enough to rate attention.

That billboard is sad but it could have been put up for John Lennon. He wrote "imagine there's no religion or heaven too." His assassin did just that and ended up killing him. That billboard is not far from wrong.

Mark Chapman, John Lennons assasin, was a born again christian.

A lot of people were very offended when the Beatles, mainly John spoke of being bigger than Jesus. That didn't go over well, Chapman probably thought he was taking one for the team possibly.

Chapman must have not learned the Ten Commandments.
