From: Kevn Klein If we did that we wouldn't be free to practice our religion without Government interference. We want to practice our faith as we see fit, without the threat of a few atheist activists insisting what we can do personally on public land or government interference. An example is the Atheist dad who sued to stop personal prayers at graduation. These are not state sponsored prayers. Who was being harmed by these personal prayers? I personally don't pray in public, but if some kid wants to thank God in public, why are these very few atheists worried? Do they think their child will be converted to Christianity by hearing a prayer? That was off topic a bit, as the thread concerns the forum, not the general public  No, you fundies just want Fundamentalism to be the ONLY religion in the United States. (Note I am not including Mainline Christianity here because they are tollerant of others and would disagree with everything your saying) |

From: Dr Tardis Fundies. I HATE FUNDIES!
Fundies of all sorts give a bad name to the Christian faith. Today's fundies, the Spanish Inquisitors, the Conquistadors... those aren't Christians, they're fakers!. Those are the same kind of people that would be TV evangelists today. No, they're still christians, they just didn't make the same selection off the buffet table that you did. Lumping all christians together is bad, but denying that some christian groups aren't really christians is just as bad.

From: Elinea Richard Like I said earlier: Fear what they do not understand. What about not even making any progress towards understanding and chalking everything up tp "faith" instead? Your "science is a joke" attitude is the reason that some poor, ignorant people still insist that the world is 6000 years old and that humans co-existed with dinosaurs. |

From: Reitsuki Kojima Ok, we replace him with a non-bible-toting liar. What's been improved? I agree, there have been alot of non-bible-toting liars in this country as well as in other countries. I don't like George Bush that much, but I do have to say that I don't think he is a liar, and I don't think his belief in the Bible makes him a bad person. I do get nervous that he admits to basing his decisions on what he thinks God says to him, but I think he would be making the same choices without the prayer, so this is just a small nervousness. |

Lumping all christians together is bad, but denying that some christian groups aren't really christians is just as bad. They're not. As with any other category in life, if you don't meet the required parameters, you're not part of the club. I could call myself the President of the United States, but since I haven't met the qualifications, I'm not the President. I could call myself a Martian, but I don't have green skin. Likewise, the term "Christian" means "Little Christ". If you're not following the teachings of Christ, you're not a Christian. It's that simple. Saying you're a Christian, and then proceeding to do everything that the Bible says NOT to do makes you NOT a Christian. IMO, the men who tortured people to death during the Spanish Inquisition are going to hell just assuredly as Jack the Ripper is, even if they did quote the Bible while doing it. Christianity isn't about a "buffet table", and it isn't Burger King: You don't get it your way. You either are doing what Jesus said or you're not. |

From: someone Christianity isn't about a "buffet table", and it isn't Burger King: You don't get it your way. You either are doing what Jesus said or you're not. So, if I'm understanding it, one is either a christian as defined by you or isn't a christian. And they say you folks are dogmatic? How dare they? Also, if you limit the set of christians to those who does what Jesus preached, I think you wind up with the empty set. Hell, I'm not even sure that Jesus would be allowed though that needle's eye. |

well i don't attack christians. I accept they believe in thier misguided notion of a trascendent divine entity. They are wrong-there is not a god. Elightenment is just a matter of seeing the world for what it is, without illusion. God is a comforting illusion, that is all.
Chiristianity has some very good moral foundations, and thus is largelya good religion, if misguided. Now scientology-that is a religion I freely attack.
