Paul2,Ray and the others that can't understand why the sane
minority(according to you) find Christian's offensive when they start their
preaching and sharing their religious beliefs.These links are just an
example of the Hate and Intolerance that the AFA(members of the supposed
95%)seem to adore and expect the rest of us to do the same.None you guys
subscribe to these beliefs do you?

Brian, I don't even know what the "AFA" is so I certainly can't be a member
or subsribe to their beliefs. I'm not even sure why you included me in your
attack. Some Christians may be "preaching and sharing  their religious
beliefs" but I haven't. If you would be willing to listen I'd be more than
happy to share what I believe and why...

When people swear, use the Lord's name in vain, or talk filthy it's even
more offensive than the "preaching and sharing  of religious beliefs". I
hear "gutter talk" daily but I seldom ever hear someone sharing the good
news. There are fanatics in everything not just religion. There are sports
fanatics, food fanatics, and sex fanatics just to name a few. There are lots
of people to you could go after, why waste your time on a few people who
have found a source of spiritual comfort?

Merry Christmas

"American Family Association".

They're working hard to deny women reproductive choices and to deny gay
people equal rights.  They represent themselves as christians but they
are evil, mean, lying, hateful people.

You expect respect for your religious beliefs.  I expect respect for my
not having them.  Works both ways.

Gay rights and abortion? Boy did you bring up two hot button issues!

In my view "reproductive choices" is murder. If it wasn't why would they
charge someone with two murders when someone kills a woman who is
pregnant????

As far as gay rights, well you wouldn't like what I'd have to say about that
one so we'll let that slide....

Because they don't in all cases?  Because there's a distinction in many
cases between "homicide" and "feticide"?  Because people can make a
distinction between a right to not have a pregnancy interrupted by force
and preventing a woman from choosing not to be pregnant?  Because almost
all the laws that change assault on a pregnant woman into something
closer to murder have been enacted in the last couple of years as part
of a plan by the forced-incubation movement to slowly take away a
woman's right to choose what she does with her body?

Is that what you're referring to?

You don't have to bother to answer, in the interests of the rest of the
newsgroup you're going into my killfile.

Yeah, probably not.  That's what's so hypocritical about a lot of the
christianists - you want all the rights in the world as well as the
right to deny other citizens equal rights.  You and your kind can just
f.ck off, you're a threat to the future of this country and the rest of
the world.

Doug, if people don't address these "issues" as individuals, then the issues
become non-issues and the next thing you know they're an acceptable part of
society, then they become legislated, then we're back to making birth
control illegal and bashing gays. Oh, sorry, I forgot. Some of us are still
doing that.

It's an issue for me personally to have discussions with and be
supportive of people who don't believe that I deserve equal rights, and
who support those who would enforce that subservient status via laws.

That's why it's important to me in the context of this newsgroup.

Though to be honest, someone who needs support is going to get it from
me.  It's impossible for me to not help people who need it no matter how
high the likelihood that once they're done needing my help they'll go
back to trying to kick me and people like me to the curb.

As they say on the 'net, your mileage may vary.

Yes, that is terribly wrong and perhaps some executions or jail time will
change this behavior but it individuals at fault and not God .   Doug

I'm wondering when the catholic church is really going to purge
themselves of homosexual influence by painting over the ceiling of the
sistine Chapel and over The Last Supper, and smashing up The Pieta.

Well sure it's important so go ahead and email them but keep it off the
board as you have so often told me.  And btw you are important and you
deserve any right that everyone else in the country has.  Some religious
people try to take that away from some because they translate the Bible with
crap colored glasses on.   I don't know if you should be married but you, if
in a lifetime partnership, certainly have rights that are equal.  But again
these are political discussions, not even religious.

I respect that you don't share the love or belief I have, I never asked
anyone to.
I Love God, no matter what anyone says and I will post where I want
just as you should too.
This (ASHC) is not the forum to insult, to be crude, to mock or pass
judgement on either the believers or the non believers. It goes all
ways. Reverse discrimination is flyin all over the fricken place here.

Just as Paul2  posted his kind of encouragement* boom*, he was jumped
on, he made a bad responce to that and then the fight was on and at
times I was ready to point out to each of you, where you went wrong,
but then I remembered, neither side can see the other. That's why I
refrained. I wish you all would.

ps: I want nice people, kind people to share this world with me.  I
won't go along with any of this ugliness.  Stop now!  Ask yourself if
this is what you want for yourself. We are all members of a group here,
trying to talk to others about this freaking disease that has intruded
in our lives, only we can understand what it has done to us. Why allow
insults and such to hurt anyone of us.

pie in the sky, eye.....aka....eileen
Paul2 - 08 Dec 2005 21:40 GMT
Eileen. Of course, peace and understanding will always be the high road.
Thanks for your comments.
But my experience over the years in spiritual matters is that it will ALWAYS
bring a point of contention.
Jesus himself faced it 2000 years ago. It's human nature. The only thing
that I find hard here is what you made mention of.
It's not that some here don't like religious posts of any nature, its that
their posts become the very thing that they are complaining about. My wife
and I have belonged to a few missions oriented groups throughout the years,
Youth With A Mission for one...And we found out very early that bringing
Jesus into the mix, certainly opened up raw emotions. But really, I think
thats the disired effect God wants. It's when we question our reality and
understanding of life that we grow.
And sometimes through introspection we know that buttons are being pushed in
us for no apparent reason. God's finger on our pulse so to speak.

Anyway, I certainly wont stop offering encourament and hope where I can.
Lincoln coined a famous phrase:
You can please some of the people all the time,
And all of the people some of the time,
But you can't please all the people all the time.

The Lord bless you Eileen, shalom.

OK - so if I posted something like:

And we found very early that anytime someone brought up jesus that
questioning their beliefs rationally opened up raw emotions.  But
really, I think that's the only way for them to let go of their
superstitious training.  It's when we question out our fictional view of
reality and understanding of life that we grow.

let me guess what your reaction would be.

Could you even make the slightest effort to understand that if you talk
about what your beliefs mean to you then that's a good thing, but when
you insist that everyone must believe the same as you or they're deluded
in some way that you are being insulting?  The fact that it's been
pointed out to you so often yet you continue doing it indicates that you
don't care, that insulting other people takes back seat to your need for
affirmation of your beliefs.  

As numerous people have pointed out, that doesn't make you a good
christian.  It just makes you an a.shole.

G
Paul2 - 08 Dec 2005 23:49 GMT
Ok Gordo, bottom line is, you don't know me. And what you write about me,
although you're convinced differently, is TOTALLY wrong. I don't know your
circumstances or why you are seeing things in my posts that in all honesty
aren't there. Even if they sound like they are to you, weird as this may
sound, they're not.

I am sooo not like the person you keep trying to paint me as.
But I know you're convinced otherwise, so be it.

But you know what? If you knew me in person, I bet within half hour you'd be
laughing and wondering how you ever thought I was a religious bible thumper.
As I've said before, the written forum doesn't convey tone inflection,
emotion, facial expression nor sincerity very well.
But I'm not here to convince you of anything Gordo...Believe me when I say,
"All the power in the world to you and your beliefs, what ever they are".
God didn't ask me to convert the World, just learn how to love.

And learning I am.

Paul2

Actually, your lord jesus didn't say anything about gay people.  It's
almost all old testament jewish stuff, next to other prohibitions that
christians don't pay any attention to.  Read your bible before you hit
me over the head with it.  

> I lump them in with muslims, who are trying to destroy this country, make no

What's so fascinating is that the people who founded this country had a
very clear goal to keep religion OUT of government.  So the people who
are looking to destroy this great country are those who are trying to
change what the founders so carefully and clearly created by forcing
their religion into government and forcing everyone to follow it.

And it doesn't matter if those people are christians, mormons, or
muslims - ANY religious group which attacks and tries to subjugate those
who don't share their beliefs are an offense to everything this country
stands for.  A christian who wants to turn the US into a christian
theocracy is just as vile as a muslim who wants us all to live under
islamic law.

Well there we go.  Honey, I don't wear panties no matter what your
fantasies in that area are.  

What I and other people have been saying is: you are sharing this space
with people who don't share your beliefs.  If you want to get along you
shouldn't tell people they are bad based solely on that fact.

I see the point you're trying to make, Brian, but this is the wrong arena.
These examples merely show that (successful) business markets its products
to the demographic most likely to spend its money on those products. I
despise prejudice of any kind, but I believe that someone with a product to
sell should be able to sell it to any group that he wants to sell it to.
That's why this is a "free" country <repressed chuckle>.

That true.  Ford can do what they want.  But when they cancel a
*successful* advertising plan based on pressure from a right-wing hate
organization then it's time to make that known to the general public and
let them appropriately reap all the bad press.  Would they consider not
having black people in their ads or giving corporate donations to
charities that primarily help blacks because of pressure from the KKK?  
Would you do business with them if they did?

That's what this is about.

I'd draw the line at the KKK connection because those guys are breaking the
laws of basic freedoms. However, if they (any business) identified their
market as primarily white and straight, what's wrong with targeting their
ads to that group?

Because the vast majority of white straight people couldn't give a rat's
a.s that Ford was also advertising to gay people, so the fact that Ford
was _successfully_ advertising to the gay market doesn't stop them from
buying Ford product.  This hate group specifically says "we will boycott
you if you give any money to any gay groups".  So Ford says "sure, we'll
stop giving them advertising dollars and we'll stop making charitable
contributions".  

It's not about a simple business decision about where their target
markets are, it's about a hate group getting Ford to cut off
acknowledgement of what is already a proven money-maker to them.  I
suppose you could say that Ford had to choose one market over another
but the AFA boycott of Disney did nothing but lead to higher revenues
for Disney, and corporations are run by people and people can be held to
ethical standards by their shareholders - not just raw profit.  So
there's no basis for Ford caving in like they did.

The fact that two high-level Ford execs who are recent hires out of the
Bush administration ("buy me some government!") who are also using Ford
resources to push Alito, the latest right-wing activist nominee to the
US Supreme Court were a big part of this makes it even clearer what's
going on.

So it's exactly like the KKK saying "if you advertise in Ebony or give
money to "black" causes we will boycott you" and Ford saying "OK".

lunch and probably not leave right away.  could possibly move in with you so
be careful. might be hung over.  ha ha  price 4 Gs a steal, no JOKE ha ha

cactus jammies --------------->

The Beast looks hungover but fit for
whatever life offers or neglects:
dressed in
a comfy bathrobe and slippers
boxer jocks
orange and yellow sarong which is
 wrapped round his neck
    like Anwar used to do it.

Okay, here's the deal. Send me a 300 dpi pic, I run you a fabulous display
ad in the Harbour Spiel, including your free delivery to Pender Harbour. I
think the price is a bit high, but, if you sell it here, and deliver it
here, YOU buy ME lunch at the Grasshopper Pub. Whaddya say, cowboy?

I don't believe in descrimination of any kind, Brain--period.  Lumping all
Christians into one group and saying we're all like that is kind of like
saying all gay guys are swishy or all Jews are money-grubbing.  My nephew's
gay, and one of my most beloved friends is both Jewish and gay.  I don't
preach, and the only time I share my beliefs is when someone asks me.
Please don't descriminate based on the fanatics--the ones who always manage
to make the news because they make the noise.

And I'm not sane!  I'm one of the bozos on this bus, remember?!

I too consider myself one of those bozos, but I'm in good company. Thank
you for saying what I was feeling.

Not long ago, you tried to speak you mind
Contradicting everything I testify
Then you proceeded, to call me a liar
I got so mad and I saw fire

You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me anymore
You don't know me and don't try to snow me
You don't own me anymore

Sitting with your air of superiority
You proceed to tell me what I think
You interpret all my words, you know everything
As you try to paint the picture black as ink

You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me anymore
You don't know me and don't try to snow me
You don't own me anymore

How can you sit there with worthless accusations
When you know you're living such a lie
I'm sick to death of playing all these games
I'm sick to death of giving one more try
And how can you not have eyes to see
Someone else's faults but think that you're just fine
You say you want to straighten me out
But let there be no doubt
Take the blinders off your eyes before you mess with me

You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me anymore
You don't know me and don't try to snow me
You don't own me anymore

As a comment on the current christianist radical-right "america is a
christian nation" people who are trying to destroy our country, I think
this is spot-on.

Good Poem.           This country was built by Christians...      People
like Gordo can't put shame on us anymore because we believe ...   God is
Good...        Doug

Actually, the country belonged to native Americans and your Christians
came over, slaughtered them and took their country away. In fact, the
building of the USA is a history of bloodshed and murder. Tell the
students in Chapultapec that were slaughtered by your marines how groovy
the solders' god is. Or you can tell the hundreds of blacks that were
lynched in the name of your pathetic god how groovy he is. Or, perhaps,
you can explain to the hundred thousand Iraqis how groovy Bush's god is.

EVERY single nation that has embraced Christianity has gone to war in
the name of god. It's a dangerous religion that should be eschewed by
everyone!

It was founded by smart men who deliberately kept religion out of
government, and who did not consider themselves christian.

By 1778, George Washington had so often witnessed God's intervention that
on August 20, he wrote Thomas Nelson that:

 The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must
be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has
not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations.

Washington was a self-professed deist, not a christian.

If you don't know what that means, look it up.

Here ya go Gordy old boy... I looked it up   .....    : a movement or system
of thought advocating natural religion, emphasizing morality, and in the
18th century denying the interference of the Creator with the laws of the
universe     Doug

He owned slaves and felt when were property. He also believed in a non
existant god. I hear, though, that he was a pretty good soldier and
could kill Englishmen in the name of the "correct" god.

Barf.

Great poem, Ray. I like it because it expresses my feelings towards (some)
Christians.

p.s. It's all a matter of perspective.
