@gambit474: Figured it was only a matter of time before someone tried to pull the christians are hateful card. The same could be said about groups that hate on christians..It goes both ways
Only non-christians don't oppose your constitutional liberties. Why can't you keep your religious opinions to yourself, without cramming them down everyone else's throats? You want to commune with others who call themselves "christian" while leading un-christlike lives, you have a church on every corner. Want to discuss religion and spirituality? There's already a thread for it. Why does a majority group (in English-speaking countries) feel a need for its own thread? This thread, by its nature, is necessarily exclusive; if all were '"welcomed" it wouldn't be billed "chrstian".
This is horribly ignorant and bigoted.Mainly because it generalizes all/most Christians with the stereotypes. Let me guess,you also suspect all Christians to be homophobic?
1. Actually,not necessarily true.There are christians who do oppose certain liberties.
2. That is a stereotype.Not all christians act that way.That is horribly ignorant. Even considering that people forget the muslims,buddhists,atheists/agnostics,etc (people from all beliefs,not just religions) that do the exact same thing. Is there are problem with trying to commune with other Christians and even non-Christians? And again,not every Christian acts like the stereotype.Not even most. I also guess that I have to point out that not every black person likes fried chicken and rap music,contrary to the stereotype.
3. Is there a problem with that?! This is a thread that asks specific questions,not asking "What do you think about religion?"! Did you even READ THE OP?! This thread is not exclusive. It asks Christian comic book readers certain questions. You do not have to be a Christian to comment,even when the OP said that all are welcome. It asks Christian comic book readers a few questions,although it still says all are welcome.Anyone can answer at least 1 of the questions.
It's kinda like Church.Normally,Christians would go to church,but atheists (and muslims,buddhists,hindus,etc) are welcomed.
Ugh! I am so f****** pissed.
But you know what? To hell with it!
Because believing ignorant stereotypes and generalizations is just logic.
Just a couple of things. Atheism is not a belief. That is one thing that irritates me alot so many people do it. Not saying you do but I was just pointing it out.
And the way the welcoming part was quoted in the OP I do take issue with it.
"EVERY BODY IS WELCOME HERE we are all sinners that have fallen short of the glory of God so no judgment is to be passed here"
Its a standard christian thing I see alot but I still don't like it. Its almost like they are claiming they are not judging people but then they are saying how people have fallen short. Pretty hypocritical really. If all was said was the bit in caps at the beginning of the sentence Id not have an issue with it.
But its free speech and people can be that way if they choose. I just thought Id put my two cents in those regards. I am not here to really partake in this thread but since I have being called out twice since my last comment thought Id just read through the comments of anything of interest.
As I said before if christians want to sit and just talk on this thread between themselves then that is fine with me.
1. Well when I said belief I actually meant it sorta as a viewpoint. I know that Atheism is not a religion,but I think that what I said was different from what I meant.
When I look it up,I see now that belief is more associated with religion,and I know that,as you said,Atheism is not a belief.
Sorry,lol.I used the wrong word...I was trying to be a bit general. But I was wrong,nonetheless. :)
But I didn't actually mean to associate it with religion,but again,what I said was different from what I meant.
2. Well I think that the "we all fall short of the glory of God" thing is actually meant as a counter to judging people.It actually speaks against it. Because there are people who look down on others (people that look down on others from other religions,people that look down on Atheists,people who look down on homosexuals),but what that scripture is saying is that no one is in any position to judge anyone because we all fall short of the glory of god...something along those lines. Kinda like another scripture that I know (vaguely) that basically says that sin is sin,no matter what sin it is. @sog7dc Are you familiar with this scripture?
Basically,it says that no one is right in looking down on others,since no one is really better than any other.
