[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 642143, member: 12508"] Sigh. I created this thread (pun intended) precisely because people [I]are [/I]talking about God and Jesus and inserting them into secular topics where they probably don't belong. You are doing an excellent job of making my point, which is, "why is it OK when the religious types make commentary on a thread that shows their Christian bias, and it's NOT OK for someone with a different take (bias) to insert [I]their [/I]commentary"? Too many Christians think that they're the only ones with the "answer", and they aren't afraid to shove it in your face. Why not respect those who might have a different view instead of having a fit and circling the wagon of faith? If you're secure in [I]your [/I]faith, why should you care what I think? Believe whatever you want, but isn't religion sometimes best left out of discussions about work, unions, etc? The founding fathers of this country had it right when they insisted on the separation of church and state. You may have the desire to live in a theocracy, but I do not. Lots of people poke fun at Muslims, Jews and other religions in jokes and slurs, but Christians go nuts when anyone has fun at their expense. One need only watch Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, or a slew of others to get a good laugh. Aren't these clowns just as ridiculous in their own way as the fanatical mullahs and ayatollahs in the Middle East? Please explain my hypocrisy. [/QUOTE]
