I missed the news.. True? Did he say this?

[Darky]

Honestly Ray, it's because it's Trail-Axe and the intent behind the sig line is to demean and insult those that are atheists that he has spoken with before on this board.

So let him keep the sig line if he wants. That's fine by me.

I'm not sure you can really judge his intent behind that verse. Thta kinda brings you into the same point as I hear made about Christians. Judge not lest ye be judged. We can judge the actions but not the heart/motive...

I'm going off past experience with him. . . .

If it were you or someone else, I probably wouldn't have an issue with it.

SBrad001,

I have changed my signature (and no one has pressured me to), so that you will know that I have considered your discomfort in light of the Word of God. For it is the goodness of God that leads people to Him (Romans 2:4).

Peace,
Trail-Axe

What a guy!!!

Although I still think you fall into the catagory of "weak minded, drug addicted, alcoholic, gay ex-con" born-again. :looser:


Now go sniveling to the BOD :rattle:

Actually Jimmy Carter was the biggest mistake ever.

OMG! You are so right. He's a nice man but should never have been president. He continues to mess up even now.

The only things the President Bush "W" didn't do what I wanted was to do something about illegal immigration, specifically build that fence on the Mexico border, and stop spending all of our money!

Other than that he has amazed me that he has done what he felt was the right thing to do and to hell with the politics. It has hurt his party and his popularity.

I absolutely hate Clinton, as much as you Bush haters do, always have. But he did do one really cool thing. He used his job to get chicks. You gotta love a man that is true to his nature no matter who's watching. lol

If that's what you want to think, go right ahead think what you like. But you and I both know why you had that sig line.

I'm curious why you seem to have such a problem with people who hit a bottom point in their lives?

Everyone has a bottom. For some it may be more severe then others but the plain and simple fact that someone wants to overcome burdens in their life should be a good thing. Personally I could care less if it comes through a belief in God, worshiping a rock or becoming a vegan and swearing off of milk.

The only problem I have is when someone uses their "born again-ness" to try and convert others.

BTW, at work we have two preachers who both run Evangelist bible churches. I asked them both about your thoughts that people like them must have hit rock bottom somewhere and both of them told me nope, they just found it to be the right way to go in life. Neither one of them are ex-drug addicts, sex abusers, alcoholics, or had any other vices...they just felt compelled to go that way.

Here in our own chapter, I can think of a couple of Mormon members who will turn their noses at others because they don't think someone who is not mormon is as good as they are. At the same time I can think of about 20 others who are just as religious and are not that way at all.

Same goes for the born again types. There are lots who will preach every chance they get but their are just as many who don't. You would never know this though because they do not wear it on their sleeve.

To lump them all into the same catagory just isn't fair.

If you want to change it to the preachy born againers...I am right their with you. I don't need anyone telling me how to live my life.

I'd be willing to bet you that the percentage of 'born-again' christians that fall into 'my' catagory is higher than you think.

With the exception of at least Richard, most of the born-again christians I know were down right fawking losers. :looser:

They may not be now, but they were. (and unfortunately probably will be again...it's the law of averages)

Most threads that discuss religion or politics tend to go on and on till they get closed, or deleted.

I never hit rock bottom, not even close. I don't know where Dan gets the idea that only someone who hits rock bottom could be silly enough to start having faith in Christ. For most of us, it just makes sense. Sure, plenty have turned their lives around from whatever negative or destructive path they were on, but by far not every Christian has had that experience.

So, would I be OK if I was a weak minded, drug addicted, alcoholic, gay ex-con who wasn't born again? :moon:

Well, like I said before, that's a perfect reason for them to need God. Who can fault them for that? And why would it be surprising that they are so exited and appreciative about it that they would want to tell everyone else about it?

Now, I'm not at all into judging others. Either religious folks judging non-religious folks, or non-believers judging believers. To me, that's a very bottom line part of living a happy and contented life......and it's being helpful and kind to others. You know what is said about judging others, in both religious and non-religious circles...........we are most likely doing the same thing ourselves.

What about that time you took that bump too hard and put the axle through the oil pan?

That was the track bar, not the axle. :moon:

Besides, that was Crackers fault. And, I didn't hit bottom, I bottomed out. :looser:
