You a raising your son on your beliefs and it sounds like you have him on the right track. As funny as this might sound, I am not a 'religious' person. Religion kills and destroys people. I have a belief system, just as you, but mine is based on my faith in Christ and the things found in the Bible. As a Christian, I believe I am to live out my faith and not 'brow beat' it into people. Granted, I will share my faith with others and explain how according to the Bible what sin is but I will not call someone a sinner or even pass judgment on someone for the lack of knowledge of the Bible. But in the end, it is a individual decision to believe in the Bible or not.

I have to admit that I feel a bit gun shy about discussing these matters with people here that clearly have a religious persuasion, especially since I can't remember if you and I have ever spoken before, so... But you seem open and respectful and I thank you for that.

I don't believe we have ever talked. Like I said before, I quit getting on this site because it was far to much 'anti-Christian'. What I mean is that the constant bashing of my faith and cursing and making fun of my God, just got old. I enjoy conversation and some debates about many different subjects. But when I am getting dogged because I say 'God Bless' at the end, it just sad.

My god is science. I have to admit.........where to start on that.

According to the Bible we are all created with this 'hole' in our heart and soul that is meant to be filled by God. As we go through our lives, we feel this 'hole' and have a desire to fill it. So to get to the point, you said science is your god. We all have a god in our lives whether it is the right one. I guess that is what we found through time. Science has helped many people and explained many things but I don't believe science can ever explain spiritual matters and concerns. I have a son too and my signature is for him. "I am not perfect(me as I am) but I try to be better than those before me(my father and the areas that lacked in). So those who come after me will be better than I am(my short coming and the areas I lack in). I must say, it has been a pleasure to have a descent and mature conversation. Thank you.

No witty reply and no sarcasm, thank you for a mature answer. Sometimes, it can be dangerous to ask a question here. That is one of the main reasons why I don't do anything here anymore. Today was the first time I had visited this site in a while and you post was interesting to me.

A fetus is the property of the mother until such time as it can no longer medically survive without being connected to her system.

I guess for I consider it a responsibility from the moment of conception. Well, at least from the time you find out about it.

Do you impose or impress any beliefs on him? If so, do you impose political, social, educational, or even lifestyle beliefs.

I believe people can have conversation even when they don't agree or see eye to eye. And doing so without debating or raising the flags of war.

Didn't take it that way and I hope you haven't felt threaten for me asking.

Ray Cassick wrote:

It is completely your option to dismiss them as drivel or to understand that they are my opinions and at least honour that.

I am a Christian and I make no assumptions of your religious beliefs if any. Your opinions are yours and mine are mine. So I don't understand why people can't get that simply little concept. You don't have to reply if you don't want to.

I must say, I have never heard the use of the word 'property' to describe a fetus. When did that start being used? What is the basis for calling the fetus a property of the mother? At what time is the fetus no longer consider to be property? Where is the line between property and responsibility? Do you have kids, and if so? Do you view them as property or responsibility? Honestly, I am not trying to spark a flame war. I do not see any real good foundation in the idea of calling a fetus the property of the mother.

Now, do you think it is reasonable for someone who finds the idea of God appalling to hold no position on the existence of God?

Let me put this in a funny way. I find the idea of my ex-wife appalling and I do not care one way or the other about her.

Mundo Cani wrote:

I have neither indicated that I am a Christian or an Atheist.

I never said you were one or the other, nor did I imply it. I was talking about a certain type of person( or mentality). If that offended you I am sorry. For the record, I am a Christian and I freely and openly make that statement. I am done talking on this subject. Yes, I will ignore any replies.

God Bless, Jason

You should have left what you originally wrote and added to it. So that if someone is following they can have more understanding on where this thread has gone. You went from one sentence to four paragraphs, you really didn't type what you were thinking. There is one underlining problem.

Mundo Cani wrote:

The topic of this conversation is reason--not God.

But your first response of this sub-thread to Tim was:

Mundo Cani wrote:

Really? Do you believe God does not exist?

If it were about reason maybe you should have said something like: "Really? What reasons do you have to not believe in God?" You trolled. Your reply will not be answered.

Mundo Cani wrote:

What point am I missing?

That there are people who do not care if God exists or does not exists. They would have the same attitude towards a god whether they have physically meet one or had only heard of one.

Mundo Cani wrote:

Whether or not you care has nothing to do with your personal belief on the matter.

There has been a lot of times that I have been thinking something, but I didn't type it the way I was thinking it. Did you type what you were thinking? It seems to me there is a need for more clear direction in your statement.

Mundo Cani wrote:

This could be said of someone who has never thought on the matter at all. However, based on Tim's sig, the idea of God is not irrelevant to him--it is appalling.

Tim doesn't care about God or any other gods. Tim doesn't find God appalling. He finds the thought of gods, religion and Christians that shoot of their mouths in so called debates with insults and remarks that are not 'Christian' like. They seem to make themselves out to be hypocrites and do more harm to Christianity than they do good. Don't try to win a debate, try to reach a stalemate.

Mundo is missing the point here big time. You don't care one way or the other if God exists. His little multiple choice answers needed one more: 4. Irrelevant, does not apply or cares less Is that correct? Its hard to debate which is better apple pie or cherry pie, when you don't like pie. On a side note: I don't think to have faith in Christ you must destroy reason. Nor does salvation mean you should live a unhappy and pointless life. Disclaimer: Not trolling just dropping in my two cents.

Thanks for the complement. You and Tim are right. There are a lot of so called Christians here that just act stupid. And by their actions they make other Christians look bad. First of all a debate should never have any type of insults. Once again thanks and have a good day.

I appreciated your efforts at that time so feel free to get in touch with him and tell him when you are coming for the cheque.

But if you will like to receive the cheque through courier company then contact him with the below informations and tell him the courier company that you will like to receive the cheque through and ask him to go and know the cost of the courier from Cotonou to your address and note that you will have to bear the cost if it will be delivered through courier company . Furnish him with the below

These are to show him that you are the real beneficiary of the cheque so try to send the details to him.Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share together the joy of what God has done after all the struggling that almost failed me. In the moment, I’m very busy here because of the investment projects which i and my new partner are having at hand.

Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to my secretary on your behalf so feel free to get in touch with him and he will release the cheque to you without any delay hence you follow his instructions.

The real trick to using baking soda is switching the water with vinegar. If there is any way he can do that it will be a great prank. Also the vinegar, if ran through the coffee maker without any coffee grands will help give the coffee maker a good cleaning.
