- Finewoven, is it free will or is it part of the indoctrination to get people to tithe and follow like good little lemmings?
Your god cannot have a very exciting life, up there knowing exactly what I am going to do next yet providing me the free will to do what I want, which is to do exactly what he planned that I would do a long time ago because after all, he is god. Does that make sense? - Reply to this comment

Ahhh, come on. You guys don''t believe in going to church. The analogy doesn''t apply to your way of practicing. You should have used something akin to you''re both pissing into the same pot. - Reply to this comment

lol! In my dad''s living room when I was growing up there were always 3 pictures on the wall. The current pope, Jesus and Jimmy Hoffa. All the same size and all right next to each other. - Reply to this comment
- So how can a Christian be both a perpetrator and a victim of Christian hatred at the same time? (in reference to non-white, non-male Christians who have been brutalized by white, male Christians)

Give it some thought -- you''re bright enough to figure it out.
Posted by Candide777 at 04:45 PM : Jan 11, 2008
I may be bright, but not that bright. Lay it out for me. You''re simultaneously arguing two mutually exclusive points of view. On the one hand, you''ve depicted religious hatred as universal - it knows no boundaries. On the other hand, you''ve declared white non-Christian hetrosexual males such as myself as having been exempt from that hatred - instead, it is targeted at (but not limited to) gay_lesbians, etc.
So again - the fundamental contradiction I need you to explain to me - and (let''s a specific example) - what is it that troubles you about a devout, African-American Baptist woman? How is she committing the despicable acts of Christian hatred you so deplore?
If you think my question is rhetorical, or if if your answer is "She''s not", then please restate your argument to say that only white (male?) Christians are guilty as charged. Otherwise, please answer the question as posted. - Reply to this comment
- any god that already KNOWS who is chosen yet places millions upon millions, billions in fact, of people in situations to see how they act for the h e l l of it . . .

Next thing you''ll be telling me is that "Free Will" is not for everyone. It is tough to have it both ways--but philosophers have been back and forth for centuries on that point. - Reply to this comment
