    Actually, can I take back that I ever said it? It came out a lot worse than I intended.

      There's more to taking it back than simply deleting the post.

        Then where is the post admitting you were an ass and begging everyone's pardon? :mad:

                  It obviously hasn't effected his faith. I would suspect that he doesn't want any part in spreading that message. I wouldn't want to either. It doesn't say anything about his intelligence. Would you say the same about somebody who refused to drive a bus because it had a religious message on it?

                    Not of this sort: it is trivial and risible and is also not very christian: are the beliefs (or otherwise) of others not allowed to be seen? Ar emy beliefs so upsetting to you that you could not even read them without have the strength to understand them without being turned? You give it a rest.

                    Obviously they are, he'd just prefer they were seen with somebody else at the helm. For a non-religious example, I recognize the right of Democrats to think they are right, that doesn't mean I'll support anything that spreads that message.

                      Man refuses to drive 'No God' bus [^] I can only imagine how threatened this twat must feel by a sign on the side of a bus. Is his faith so weak that it could be turned by a few words on the side of a bus? Moron.

                      Well, of course. Without knowing, talking to, or being the man in question, you have no way of actually knowing his attitude. Your imagination is all you have to go on.

                            Taking something out of context is really naughty. There is a difference between you actively proseltyzing and me reading a passive sign on a bus. In the first instance you are seeking to convert me to your way of thinking and I have to slam the door in your face. In the second I can simply read it and choose to ignore it: bit like walking past a church and reading the sign that says 'Jesus Lives' or whatever. I'm ceratinly not going to walk into the church and castigate the vicar cos I don't like his signage.

                                Right. As well as several others. However, that does present some difficulties... You have to expose yourself to the wrong side to know what they're spreading, what they're up to, and for a wider perspective. You just have to find ways to get that without letting them benefit from it. Thank you internet! :-D

                                        Regardless of YOUR beliefs, I think the gentleman has as much rights as anyone to protest over his beliefs. By calling him weak-minded, you only reveal your prejudice in the matter. I don't happen to agree with his position either, but think you might be the moron here for disrespecting his right to protest.

                                        He's not protesting; he's getting a day off work. And I can just imagine the short shrift I'd get if I worked for that company and got all hissy over a 'Jesus Lives' sign or somesuch. You mistake typical british sloth and laziness for zeal and belief.

                                          Taking something out of context is really naughty. There is a difference between you actively proseltyzing and me reading a passive sign on a bus. In the first instance you are seeking to convert me to your way of thinking and I have to slam the door in your face. In the second I can simply read it and choose to ignore it: bit like walking past a church and reading the sign that says 'Jesus Lives' or whatever. I'm ceratinly not going to walk into the church and castigate the vicar cos I don't like his signage.

                                          Actually, if you are interested in context, up to the point where you entered[^] the thread and told me, in essence, to "shut up," I wasn't trying to proseltyze anyone. I was having a conversation with Kyle (the OP), responding to something he wrote. Kyle didn't tell me to shut up. Vincent didn't tell me to shut up. Jorgen didn't tell me to shut up. It was only you that told me to shut up...everyone else seemed to want to have some sort of a conversation. You, given the option of being passive and choosing to ignore the thread or being active and having a conversation on the subject, chose neither.
