KC692, I'm looking for the verse as we speak.
I believe that You are interpeting the Bible in Your own
way? Catholics do that, I use to be one.
As an ex catholic I take exception to that, lets talk about the so called born again you have in your country. They care for nothing but money and power and interpret the bible how it will fit thier agenda.
Why did I quit being a catholic, because I quit being a christian. I grew up and realized what a load of bull shit it all was.
Dear Kev and Greetings
As you take offense to a person making unsubstantiated attacks on catholics, so can a christian for your generalisation on whats bullshit. It may be bullshit for you - but it isnt bullshit for everyone. I am one person who doesnt find God or christianity bullshit. To me, it's an important part of who I am and without it, I would probably be a slightly different person. Be that a good or bad thing...[;)]
Some people cannot see past their own blindness. Some people do not take the time to discover what things are truely about and its the not knowing them fully that leads them to make sweeping statements, like the one done about the catholic belief.
In the 'outside world' some people see all BDSMers as abusers and sick individuals. But we know for a fact that it isnt true. Sure there are some less than agreeable people out there masqurading under the BDSM symbol, but doesnt make them right or the rest of us part of the problem as well.
Not all people who are 'born again', who believe in God, are uncaring of humanity. I hope that the minority whom taint peoples views and instill hate and lies, do not do so for all christian around the world.
Some are quite pleasent - and I pray that the blindness of one does not blind others, like yourself, to others as well.
I hope that this thread doesnt degenerate into flames and anti-religion rants. Everyone has an opinion, and many people use the bible and other religious texts to justify their actions. It will always happen. But just because it happens, doesnt mean that everyone does, nor that they were correct.
Peace and Much Love to You and Yours.
Angel, I too agree with you. I am one of those, "born again christians", and I do take offense to the generalization that all the "born again christians" care about is money, power, and fitting the bible to their agenda," statement. Not all are like that and unfotunately some of the blame there is due to t.v. and radio evangelism, notice I said some.
As far as Katrina goes, see how the populace, community of humanity, are reacting to the situation? I live in central mississippi, just a tad south east of Jackson, and beleive me what we saw here is nothing compared to what the south saw and it was very frightening just with what we had, I think Master and I are just coming down from the anxiety created by what we lived thru, can you imagine the trauma those people have lived thru and are still living, no homes to go back to, haveing to rebuild their lives, not even knowing where to begin, New Orleans can take up to 8 wks at least to be completely drained of the water standing in it and even then the area more or less has been shut down, declared uninhabital, in fact the mayor is considering, for the safety of the people still insisting on staying there, forcing them to leave. Main thing is the health issues involved, but understandably those people don't want to leave, because there are people out there who are preying on those defensless people and looting homes, stores and the such,(GREED, GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING MENTALITY) and many have worked long and hard for what they have.
Than another issue, some of the parents have been seperated from their children, when rescue help came there wasn't room to take all the people so the parents sacrificed themselves and sent their children to safety with the hopes of being reunited with their children soon and we are now one week+ from the natural disaster and they still haven't found each other, There are college kids who were somewhat safe here in the Jackson area that came from Louisiana, that still haven't heard from their parents as to if they are ok or not, How about focusing as a community on what we can do to help out these people instead of wondering if God did it to punish or if Mankind was responsible, in my veiw if you want to base this happening on christian or non-christian theme, this is true christianity at work, is reaching out to others to help them thru their time of need, to help them gain their feet and dignity again, it is the way we live our lives on the basic principles that God set forth . And also a good way to show Mans Humanity to Man. Master and I have two rooms that are open, but financially we cannot support another couple or family, so today am going to contact a group to ask questions on how we can offer the rooms but get some help on making their stay comfortable, NOT FOR US TO MAKE A PROFIT ON THEIR SUFFERING, BUT TO HELP THEM GET A NEW START, if I could find work myself that would not be too much of an issue, but with just Masters income things get tight just for us. But we are going to try to do what we can for someone.
Sorry for the rant, and angel was agreeing with you, the rest is just my veiwpoint on the situation. I just feel who cares who's fault it is just reach out and help anyway you can.
