By the way, PoB, you know when Yoda is explaining to Luke about the Force and how it is present through everything and runs through everyone? That's his religion. Even the colors on the lightsabers are symbolic of something.

Frankly, no.By the way, PoB, you know when Yoda is explaining to Luke about the Force and how it is present through everything and runs through everyone? That's his religion.

And thus the saying "I'll burn in Hell for my sins, but I sure wont burn for yours." And it's good to see you got my metaphor, usually people don't.

No, god dosent tell the devil to punish someone. You go to god, he will judge you if your a bad person you will go to hell. Satan will put you in chains and start hiting you with very sharp tourchering instruments. If your good you will go to hevan were your:never sick, lots of energy, animals will never bite, kill or scrath you and you live a life you never experiance.
Are you Baptist??

My point is...what makes you think that people WANT you telling them your beliefs and that they should believe them? Most don't. I do not go around telling people that they should not believe in god, so what gives YOU the right to tell anyone that they should?
What gives you the right to tell me that I shouldn't be telling others about Christ?
It's called opinions correct?
Everyone deserves opinions.
What makes you think I want to hear you tell me I should be silent when I have a RIGHT to speak my mind?
Just because you don't tell people what you think doesn't mean I can't.
As I've said to others; I'm gonna witness and tell you what I think, if you want me to back off, say so.
You are kind of deciding for other people aren't you? Your not running their lives; it is up to them to decide if they wan't me talking to them or not. I can see that YOU don't want to be preached at but I think you should let others decide for themselves.
Now that I think about it I believe it's called, "the great commission."

You're allowed to have an opinion. What you don't have the right to do, at least in the US, is push it on other people. Which is exactly what witnessing is doing.
And I can tell you straight up that no atheist will want someone pushing Christ on them, plain and simple.
Actually the concept of Torture in Hell is not that Satan chains you whatnot, but rather you are completly seperated from God. And that in it of itself is the greates torture.very much like everyday life then, the idea that hell is a bad place is made up by people who tried to scare people into believing what they believed. If there was to be a hell it wont be all that diffferent from a heaven besides that god doesnt rule there so you pretty much go around doing whatever you want to
What gives you the right to tell me that I shouldn't be telling others about Christ?no it is called being annoying, the faith should be a personal matter, if someone contact you asking about this christ of yours you can speak about it. But speaking about it just out of an own interest is wrong, you dont wanna fetished dude go around preaching his sexual prefrenses
It's called opinions correct?
😆 Well this has been lovely!
Sorry lana but if I were to use your reasoning we would be in deep trouble. People have rights to also SPEAK their opinions. If we do as you say we would be allowed to say hardly anything!! I could whine about anyone to get them to shut up. I think your using the word "pushing" a little liberally.
It's interesting that people who always are preaching to Christians to be tolerant of others seem to have a hard time being tolerant of Christianity, even if it annoys them to death.
Also, how the bloody heck will I know that the person is an atheist!!!? I know you are, but I won't know about others until they say something that reveils it. What if that were to offend me? Should I say,"You can't say that out loud!" Of course not!
But you DON'T decide for the lives of other people. Why don't you let THEM decide what they want to be heard instead of trying to take peoples rights away.
Finti; for me, wouldn't a gay rally be annoying? Wouldn't watching the DNC on tv be annoying? Wouldn't a gay tv show be annoying?
These may offend me but I'm not gonna whine about it and try to stop other peoples freedom of speech.
Isn't homosexuality a personal matter? They speak about it.
TOLERANCE PEOPLE!!! TOLERANCE!!!

I never said you couldn't speak your opinion, would you read my goddamn posts? You cannot tell others what to think. Maybe you're one of the considerate people that WILL stop when asked. But in my experience, everytime I'm preached at they WILL NOT SHUT UP when I ask them to.
Aha, the issue is solved I suppose. Those Christians totally screw things up for the rest of us because I will stop when asked. I see now what you mean by pushing, and yes that should not be done.
Morning debbiejo! 🙂
it and try to stop other peoples freedom of speech.and peoples freedom to not have to listen to it what about that right
Isn't homosexuality a personal matter? They speak about it.I agree, they could keep it personal but sometimes they cant hide the visual aspect of it. Dont know why you bring up all these gay examples to me though
