[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 642834, member: 12508"] Nope...most Christians are OK by me. In fact, I'm married to one and I think Christ is great...just show me some proof please. It's the hypocrites,hardline evangelists, and con artists(Tilton, Hinn, Swaggart etc) that bug me. My kids are being raised to have an open mind. They go to Christian churches, but I've also taken them to Buddhist temples, Jewish synagogues and encouraged them to seek their own path instead of having someone do it for them. Be proud and endorse your Savior. Just don't toss him in where He doesn't belong. Over-endorsing Him destroys His credibility and irritates those who like to have conversations [I]without[/I] having God involved in most of them. Using your above example, it would be like me trying to insert FedEx into every discussion I have or you doing the same with UPS. For example, we have a Muslim guy at work who actively promotes the religion at every opportunity and a Mormon fellow who does the same thing. Both are avoided like the plague. I don't care what they believe in....I just don't want to hear about it or be recruited. You seem much more reasonable and sane...sorry if I offended you and I absolutely do not want to tar and feather all Christians because a few go overboard. Christ had great ideas....it's some of His followers who make Him look bad, and that's a shame. By the way, I'm ready to sign-on as soon as I see some proof. There are too many bad things that happen in this world that a loving and caring God could stop immediately. Why doesn't He step in? The usual reasons given do not impress me. [/QUOTE]
