    Your really making friends today. I'd step back from the keyboard and have a little break if I were you. Ryan

    O fools, awake! The rites you sacred hold Are but a cheat contrived by men of old, Who lusted after wealth and gained their lust And died in baseness—and their law is dust. al-Ma'arri (973-1057)

      Sadly I must agree that these are just her opinions. If you have issue with them there's no need to start name-calling here. Let her know privately. If you do believe in God then you will remember the most important commandment of "love your neighbor". Though she might not agree or believe all the more reason to pray for her if you think that will help. I believe in God but I also live by the addage "all things in moderation" and it seems like for some reason today we can't do anything in moderation:sigh: Even political/religious conversations get into shouting matches between the two extremes while the rest of us who apparently just don't care enough get stuck in the middle:sigh: X| ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.

      If this forum is a suitable place for Lauren to say "... I just hate religion ..." then Lauren should be ready for those who disagree to do so with vigor and be prepared to discuss. How is we have come to defend such petty hatreds? :(( I believe it would have been better to say that "Is Lauren behaving like a bigot?" Less accusatory. Hopefully, all of us can see the futility of advocating hatred. Hatred is purely destructive yet most religions promote love and helpfulness. I just don't understand how one could hate such things. It occurs to me that it simply isn't possible to hate Religion. It is the failings of human beings that have brought the blemish to it's history all over the globe. Therefore, it must be a hatred of the people. A hatred of worshipers. People who see a rainbow and remember God's promise. We will only destroy ourselves with our hatreds. Ryan Bradley

            I never said she can't have an opinion different than mine. Not that she needs my permission, but she can have and hold whatever opinions she wants to. But, if she, or anyone else for that matter, chooses to espouse those opinions, then it is incumbent upon that opinion holder/espouser to be able defend such opinions with thoughful, reasoned arguments. When opinions are made such that an entire class of people are denigrated, then that is not just an opinion, it becomes a stereotype. If someone were to say "green people are lazy" that certainly is an opionion, but it also makes that person a bigot when they hold to an opinion that is so easily disproved. So it is with lauren, she holds that religion causes bad stuff and posts a link of dubious quality to support such a dubious "opinion." When it is pointed out that the article she posted linked to is of poor quality she goes on the offensive and rather than apologize she attacks the individual.

              Actually, the secular nationalist leaders took advantage of the religious xenophobia of the populace in offering the Jews as a scapegoat for Germany's economic and social ills since WWI. Religion was used, but just as a tool.

                                  I've got news for you ... I am deeply religious in the context that I firmly believe in God ... but in no way did I find Lauren's posting and/or remarks nearly as offensive as your spouting off and use of profane verbiage in the lounge, which, by-the-way, is supposed to be Kid sister safe. Go wash your mouth out, and if you have something worthwhile to say, then say it. All she did was post a link to a story; nothing more. :|

                                  Since when is expressing hatred okay? A person's sense of religion is personal. And to insult religion generally is to directly insult MANY people. I must have missed the cursing in earlier posts :omg: Ryan Bradley

                                        Oh *come* On! You know you want me to! When was the last time we had a good old fashioned flame-fest with He Who Shall Not Be Named? Man it's been months, and months! Sigh, it's always the little things I miss :) If only I could think of a really good way to invoke He Who Shall Not Be Named...Hmmmmm, whatever could it be??? :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

                                          yeah, fool yourself into thinking such psychobabble if you want, but I won't fall for it. I was making reference to posts that he had made in which he implied that very thing. HA.

                                          For one, it's not psychobabble. For two, it was a hunch. If you don't know the definition of the word then do yourself a favor and look it up -- that would be under the letter "H" btw. For three, the psychology is valid irregardless if you understand it or not. Granted, I was working with limited "know" at the time, but with so many variables in the world, that's why I left it as a hunch. For four, you seem to have such a short temper too. What a wonderful role model you are for Christianity. Btw, that's called sarcasm. Jeremy Falcon
