--- Quote from: pofnlice ---I'm a christian. However, I do not attempt to make others believe or see as I do. I simply stick to my guns. My own beliefs, values and morals guide me based on my understanding. It's not really that hard.

According to the bible and accepted church dogma (Protestant and Roman Catholic alike), this is unacceptable behavior. The bible commands that you evangelize. And in certain dark circles, it is believed that you will go to hell, not for your sins, but for my sins, since you haven't tried to save me. Sad but true.
There's nothing wrong with with faith or religion, as long as you keep it to yourself. It's when you start pushing it on others that it becomes a burden.
Lately, I've been getting the feeling that a lot of people would like to see the US become a secular Christian state. Kinda like Iran. I really don't see that being a good thing.

--- Quote from: Orethrius ---My problem, near as I can figure, is that all these people "fighting for their God" are violating the single most sacred Commandment - the Bible lists it first, and I wouldn't doubt that other doctrines do the same - that "thou shalt not murder." I won't even get into distinctions between "murder" and "mercy killing" but the whole rationale behind "he killed him, so I'll kill him" and the endless cycle of bloodshed for ideals that include the prohibition of murder seems hypocritical to me. The whole thing just makes me sick to my stomach.

To me religion is hypocrysy ... and yes it makes me sick to my stomach. But, I don't like dwelling on the subject ... it depresses me :( ... sorry

If it does (and there's a reasonable chance it might) ... then I'm going away from here ... far far away ... where ? I dunno yet, I'll think about it
