Musket,

There is a difference between wanting others to show some maturity and not piss on my bonfire and having them actually show some maturity and stop doing so.

"Although look at those who complain when someone pisses on their bonfire."

Perhaps we ought to consider the credibility and motives of those who consider their own contributions to the discussion as "pissing on a bonfire."

"Sailor Jack wants to be left alone to discuss religion with his mates.

Fair play.

But publicly posting on the BS section of Mudcat precludes blinkered debate as the grown ups may want to join in.

As is their right.

I have a fascination with religion. I remain fascinated how intelligent people can see it as relevant.   I have every right to explore my fascination and others have the right to tell me to bugger off.

Snag is, I remsin curious because if your God is omnipotent rather than impotent, he / she should be able to brush off the carping and ridicule of immature idiots like me.

Do why be so touchy? Why keep looking for protection and finding ways of dreaming that lack of superstition is some sinister plot?

You started the bloody thread. Don't complain about where it is heading. . "
