bible thumping in DTW

[Snakum]

The only people that will be in heaven are those who love God.

But OUR heaven is much more fun. We have a stripper factory, a beer volcano, and a Holy Midget who is wise and compassionate.

All you guys get to do is walk around on streets of gold moping about how much fun you missed out on while on earth.

Join us! Allow yourselves to be touched by HIS noodly appendage! http://www.venganza.org/

(I agreed that the original poster shoulda just shrugged it off, but since you guys took this opportunity to turn the thread into another annoying Come To Jesus Meeting, I gotta put in a plug for our side.)

Snakum,

YOu are too much.

Almost every religion is trying to sell others the good word. If you believe Jesus is your saviour, then that is your own view and it shouldnt be chastized unto others. But just because an individual is a muslim, budhist, or non-believer does not make that individual a drunk alcoholic or pornificator. To think that only christians know the truth and need to sell the gospel to others is ethnocentrism. God (Allah, Jesus, FSM,..etc) created people from all different religions and cultures, not that we can detest each other but learn from each other.

People try to impose religious views unto others and the world is a perfect example of our bias opinions.

i find it somewhat hard to believe that global warming is inversely proportional to the number of pirates!!! i've heard this theory before and always concluded that a closer correlation is found if you interchange number of pirates with number of bee gees.

Holy Chicken Alfredo, Batman! Bee-Gees? Who'd a thunk it? Could it be?

I shall take your most noble and highly quantitative math to our Pope, who is named Pepe. While we await the Pepe's decision ... may the Flying Spaghetti Monster be with you, and may you be touched by HIS blessed noodle!

Hey wait a minute ... you got charts? He'll wanna see those.

Accept the FSM as your personal savior! Be a Pastafarian! Visit the stripper factory, dress like a pirate, and drink from the beer volcano as you worship the holy midget.

Argggg me hardies! I be touched by His noodly appendage!


Rah-MEN!

Exactly how many brown spots can there be on a banana before you will not eat it?

Waaah waaaah waaaaah whine whine whine.....boo frickin hoo. What is with all you non-christians that anytime you see anything remotely christian you get all offended and start whining and bit-ching like a bunch of crybabies?? GET THE F--- OVER IT AND HIT THE F-ING DELETE KEY. IT TAKES ALL OF 3 SECONDS. The guy isn't tying you down to a chair and forcing you to listen to Christian rhetoric!! He sent out an email INVITING you to an OPTIONAL Bible study. If you don't wanna go, don't go!!! Do like the other 80 million people in the world would do!!! Hit the f-ing delete key and stop whining!! If you overhear people talking about church in a crew room you'd probably start f-ing bit-ching about how you don't need to overhear anything christian in the workplace because it offends your delicate sensibilities! Dude, you seriously need to get a life.

Well, being a former Minister of Music at an evangelical church, I haven't heard that much fowl language in defense of Christianity since my last choir rehearsal.

I have heard much of the same, but why complain when most other people are on the other side of the fence?

Taking offense to an invitation is immature, but understandable. Does an invitation presume agreement?
As a Methodist(protestant) "gone bad" who has recently re-joined church life and study, I can see the CHALLENGE that faith is. It is MUCH harder than living in and of this world. Skywstman brings up the point. Goodness, responsibility, and works are part of secular and religious values and law, but are not enough. Faith, repentance, and forgiveness are what are demanded of us first.

As saab capt., I don't mind faith discussions, so long as I don't start them. They are informative and part of living together under God. But they can also be lively and distracting!!..."Did we do that descent checklist?"....

Please pray (if inclined) for all nwa plantation employees, as we suffer under the heels of these management jackals. And maybe even for spanjers and pohlad, too, for a little grace and ethics...

And yes, I too still sometimes swear like the marine i am. Regrettably. Dog blast it!

rightrudder, the Bible says there in not anyone righteous in the earth. So, Just because someone doesn't explore all the depths of sin does not mean they are righteous. Compared to some people a "good" non believer may seem righteous compared with his neighbor but we won't be compared to our friends and neighbors on that great day. We will be examined according to God's Word. The first commandment says "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...". A non believer may be good in his own eyes but he still hates
God. The only people that will be in heaven are those who love God. If you don't love Him here you won't love Him there.

You have completely missed my point. Your post equated being a non-believer with being irresponsible and doing harm to self and others. My point is that every "non-believer" is not a bad person, they can be fine humanists and treat others well and with respect. You don't have to be religious to be a good person.

I'm not talking about righteousness or going to heaven or hell or any of that. I'm not talking about ultimate salvation, i'm talking about behavior. Christians don't have a monopoly on behaving in a kind way with others.
