OK! Wow! This is to form a thread were all of you who took offense, at my posting about music being discussed in the thread for Krylar's Dad. Here you can flame all you want. If you want to judge the person go ahead. I judged the action, not the person. There is a difference. If I wanted to flame the one that changed the topic I would have, but I didn't and don't want to. In the later part of the post I did get a little hard on Christians as a group. IMHO we need it. We are to soft and whimpy. It seems that instead of standing to help the ones that need help, we turn the other cheek and let it all happen while wishing it would go away. Let the flames burn bright......maybe I should be lashed to a pitch coverd post to light someones garden? Spiffy |

I don't remember that thread spiffy, But yes, I agree. I often see Christians being wimpy. NO, attacking a person is insulting him and using derogatory names for him. I often see tolerace where tolerance is not due. ------------------ |

To Spiffy, I know by your post that you think Christians are whimpy. However, I have the oppinion that they are stronger than the average human. Evander Holyfield was naturally not heavy enough to be a heavyweight, but through persistance he put on the weight. Every sports journalist said that he couldn't compete at this level. He proved them all wrong!!!! ------------------ |

@ poet Don't worry to much about the funnys. The point I was trying to get across with whimpy isn't as much regarding physical strength, as much as, fortitude in expressing the faith and understanding we have. ( That's saying we have more than a milk toast understanding of our faith ) It seems as a whole Christians will back down before they have any real challenges to there belief system. I am not saying to grab the pagan and stand on there neck. I am saying, listen to there thoughts and give rational and understandable reasons for our own belief. I don't think logic or statictics will win a pagan to Christ. I do however believe that evidence of a changed life ( for the better ) is very compelling indeed. When I worked in public retail, customers would come in and ask me if I were a Christian, without me having said anything about my faith. I think it was because JESUS was able to use me as an example some how. Don't ask me how, I don't know. Some of you have seen how abrasive I can be when I am trying to be nice! Spiffy My grammer and spelling isn't so hot either! [This message has been edited by spiffydinosaur (edited November 15, 2002).] |
