[QUOTE="air_dr, post: 992074, member: 29929"] [INDENT]Originally Posted by [B]moreluck[/B] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]Somebody can't take the hint that faith is very personal and putting it on the internet is like titling a thread "How long is your pecker?" Too personal!! __________________________________________________________________ moreluck, I disagree. Faith is to be public. Lived out in witness to others as a testimony of whom you believe. Everyone lives how they believe every day anyway. Sincerely, [SIZE=6][FONT=times new roman]I[/FONT][/SIZE] ___________________________________________________________________ I am quite busy at the moment and would like to give a much longer reply to this whole thread, but on the two statements above, I believe you are both right in some sense, and moreluck, your analogy I believe will help me make my point. Our faith has both a private side as well as a public side, just like marriage. Sexual intimacy is obviously part of any healthy marriage yet a thread on BC "How long is your pecker?" is indeed too personal, just like moreluck suggests, but when Tom Jones and Jane Smith marry and they become Mr. and Mrs. Tom Jones, that is a side to marriage that is very public. Many churches have steeples with a cross on top to be seen by the whole community and bells that play hymns, is that offensive to some of you who have come down on Integrity? I try to never "corner" people on a religious issue but many people are interested in discussing the big life questions of meaning morality origin and ultimate destiny and I see nothing wrong having such conversations with people aho willingly partake. If this thread makes someone uncomfortable or is not of interest, there are thousands of other threads for that person to read.[/COLOR][/LEFT][/INDENT] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
