Yes, I was wondering the same thing... if I've learned anything from this forum, it's that even people of the same religions have a different idea of what "acceptable/normal" beliefs are.

Well, there's no way to include them all.....

Praying to Allah, Buddha, and Jesus are all the same.
I've seen self-proclaiming Christians that believe in reincarnation
Christians that don't believe the Bible is the Word of God......

.....there's others....but you get the jest.

Nice try, by the way, but this fish ain't biting.....

Which fish?




No, it has not changed my views of atheists, agnostics, or gay people. It has opened my eyes a bit more to Christians.

Hee hee! Yes, I get the gist.

Blue, as I have said before, is one very sage individual.

Magellan is too funny and I wish I knew him in RL!

Do you mean based on people from the other CD forums - or is it possible you've mistaken me for gay? (since we did have a "run-in" on one gay-themed thread) Anyway, I'm just curious, since I've never noticed them acting the way you say... though even if they did, I still think it's unfair to judge them all based on a couple of extremists. As you said yourself, they exist in every group!
You forgot to chew me out on my last sentence. "Is homosexuality a religion?"

If so, It's a rather disgusting one.

That was one of my thoughts as well! I tried to rep ya, but you know the drill .
It is much easier to converse, discuss, and debate with someone that KNOWS which side of the fence their on, than it is to communicate with someone that has abstract/flaky views or doesn't really know WHICH side of the fence they should be on.
