Well ... if I think this means what it almost seems to - so far, so good. They seem happy, content and well adjusted in spite of the hardships we must endure.
Now ... I hate to remind you but I've gotten you off-track in your attempt to belittle the author of this thread for being a Christian and inviting other Christians to fly with him. I'm sure you have plenty more to say about it and I'm practically all a-tingle with anticipation when it comes to the whack-a-dufe game. You better get faster when you stick your head through the hole.
(Oh man ... I didn't score too well on my Sunday school tests when it came to that "turn the other cheek" thing. Shame on me)
right back to the subject.
And you, you know anything about my father? You have a diploma to decrypt the near infinite combinations of what might lead to each word chosen by each person typing to this forums?
I dont belittle the guy, i just say it comical if not ridiculous to go to a diverse population and hand out to everyone invitations that single out most of them. With reservations as any caricature makes.
I don't know what your kids are like, what your wife is like, and i don't give a ****. It couldn't be furthest in interest what you do at church, what you think you see when you put hands together and pray for this or that, even if you had found absolute enlightment, you could never transplant it on to someone else's brain via communication, so it might as well not exist in terms of social relevance
"In spite of the hardships
you must indure"
That's the kind of bullchit i find stupid. What the fk do you think it is like starving in africa or elsewhere, where your entire living is spent in hardship. You can relativize it either way, up or down or better or worse or best or worst. That kind of belly button of the univers/world/comunity/neighbourhood/circle of friends is just fukin nonsense. Your a bunch of organs (not even in the scientific meaning) working about like everyone else. Whether they make you say one thing or another will change nada to your human condition, so whether you live christian or racist or optimist or pessimist, you are still just some guy.
It's not believing, its believing and taking for granted that your belief is right above any other.
You give moral base to defending
christians, then go off to prejudice on the whackadufe analogy. potato peelin double standard if anything.
A morality (religous or else) to improve (eventually if not right away perfect) civility/socialism, but at the expense of others at your whims? Who buys that..
Single out every moral illness to this or that cardinal sin or scripture; dust and mold.
Supposed examplary behavior in conflicts, but does jump in flaming on a message board, pointing finger at fault instead of proposing solution, without even understanding the other.
That you are christian means jack watermelon worth more than anyone else; you have in one hand the peace of religion, and in the other the whackadufe hammer. credible?
Now, if i drop the ethical rules and do tell my opinionated preference, I'd rather see religion totally abolished altogether.
