After Wiccan woman wins case to not be discriminated against in town meetings, her cat is gutted and killed, her house vandalized, and snubbed her from the community... all in the name of Jesus.

Do the religious types here find this acceptable?  Or do you condemn this?

Is that a vote for 'I condemn' or 'I agree w/ them'?

[Gunslinger]

NO!

Just the same as most people of faith dont condone murder of abortion doctors.

These people got it all wrong.  To say that living in christ is bad because of these people is just ignorant.

CMon use your brain.....just cause a couple people in the south are racist doesnt make all southerners rascist.

Just cause almost every black rapper on the air today talks about drugs crime and rape doesnt mean all black people are like that.


GO TO BED!

EDIT:

but it does go to show we are all slaves to freedom.  ONE person gets Offended and everyone has to adjust to her.....but it doenst justify killing her cat ect.

[Roscoroo]

Its really sad that some people have to get in a roe over someone with different beliefs ...


 but then theres always that "My god can beat up your god "  and if you dont like it I'll beat you up stupid type of  mentality thing.

The Great Falls Council, Motz wrote, remains free to engage in nonsectarian invocations prior to its meetings. “The opportunity to do so may provide a source of strength to believers, and a time of quiet reflection for all. This opportunity does not, however, provide the town council, or any other legislative body, license to advance its own religious views in preference to all others, as the town council did here.”

^ Agreed.  However, I'd rather see no invocation period.  Want a source of strength?  Manually invoke yourself prior to the town meeting.

We've just had a serial rapist who's serving a life term in prison win $10 million on the lottery - obviously God was thinking of other things when he let that one slip throught the net....

WOW another make fun of religion thread.  Who would have thought!

Obvious troll Chairboy. You already know the answer.

Heres a question for you. Are you not in the least bit concerned
about the afterlife? Are you SO smug in your disbelief that if you die tonight you will be fine? I applaud your courage if you answer
No, but I would still have to question your intellegence.

Actually, I'm not trolling at all.  I'm really curious if the religious types in this community agree with the actions of a small group of christians or not.

I know that their actions are NOT typical of the larger group, but I also know that any group of extremists often represents the will of many of the others, even if the larger group is unwilling to actually take the action.

Regularilly I read on this group messages where people blame the entire Muslim faith for the actions of their extremists, so your unwillingness (as a group) to apply the same standard to Christians seems puzzling.

Out of the seven people who have responded so far, Gunslinger is the ONLY person to say that he condemns their actions.  I think that's an interesting ratio.

It kind of illustrates the whole prayer in school thing pretty well. People say, nobody is making you pray. But obviously, there are plenty of areas where if you "don't get with the program" the community will make you pay a price.

Simple question to all the nay sayers here.

What if the start of your morning of employment involved kneeling and praying to allah. What if you'r choice in not doing that resulted in unequal treatment. What if that was the case for your children at school and they decide to convert and go with the majority because it makes life easier?

It's real easy to dismiss this as a troll if you are part of the majority religion, and the status quo being enforced is the same as your beliefs. Frankly, I think it accurately illustrates the core issues very well.
