Yorick, would you like to meet a devoted Christian?

Perhaps we could do without some of the TV Evangalists and all the cults, but there is room in this world for the few organizations that actually do good. This debate will rage throughout time as long as everybody that can fog a mirror has an opinion

You know.. I could get tired of being called weak minded.... Moridin.. you are exasperating! LOL

I think that being a Christian is quite the opposite of being weak minded!

It takes a strong personality to admit that we are sinners, that we are accountable for our actions, and that we have a creator to answer to.

It's much easier to follow our own impulses than to try to change and love unconditionally.

I would like to make a comment here. Neither Istaron nor myself ever said that all christians are weak minded If you can prove that we did than do so!!! It is you guys that are jumping on us, not the other way around. We merely are stating that organized religion (mainstream or otherwise) does have a way of taking advantage of 'weak minded' people....we did not state that all people in organized religion are weak minded!

Do you think that Istaron or myself actually believe that all 'religious' persons are weak minded?

I wasn't jumping on anyone. Sorry if it seemed I was. Just stating my opinion. 'Kay?

You know, Moridin, I see now, where you did say 'not all'. As I've seen this kind of comment so many times lately (not only from you, but many others and on several boards), I think I just 'blipped' over it.

So yes, I am sorry I assumed you think ALL Christians are idiots, when you don't. I guess I'm rather tired of having to defend my beliefs and ORGANIZED means of expressing them and I got into defensive mode.


Truce, Moridin? I know we have a history.. I'm kinda used to being grumbled at , but I do so hate tiffs with you!
