Subject: RE: BS: Is the Rapture Underway???
"Well said Bill" my arse, Little Hawk. Here's a snippet of Bill's that you are so in praise of:
I would never interfere with a Christian's right to go to church... or to live as he chooses... as long as his behavior doesn't impinge on MY rights. I know personally many good, decent Christians who worship as they please, and respect my wishes.
Well as long as "I'm all right Bill", that's hunkydory. But there are hundreds of millions of Christians/Jews/Muslims in the world who leave Bill alone, but they don't leave their kids alone, do they? They send them to faith schools and Sunday schools and sign them up for life in bogus institutions under pain of hell/ostracism/death for demurring and in many cases they have them ceremonially mutilated. All in the cause of a God who doesn't actually exist. I would never interfere with a Christian's right to go to church or to live as he chooses, either, as long as his behaviour doesn't impinge on other people's rights, including me and children. I know personally many good, decent Christians who worship as they please, and respect my wishes. I also know many who don't see anything wrong with making their kids sit in classrooms under a crucifix and get railroaded into chanting prayers and singing hymns which express spurious certainties about the God they happen to have been born under. These people are the true militants. Don't ask questions! The Cause is everything!
