lets pray for our troops

and perhaps it is time to take bigotry off the streets

msolga,

Isn't the point of the title of a thread to draw people to the thread? Isn't it up to the reader to decide if they want to be part of what the original poster posts?

May I ask you, why did you come to this thread if you didn't like (not sure of the right word here) the premise of the thread? I am sincerely asking because I just don't understand why you would if you don't want to be engaged in religious discussions and prayer is obviously religious.

No, husker, & I speak solely for myself here: This influx of dubious religious zealots is decidely less than welcome here. A2K attempts to be an intelligent, rational discussion forum. This is not some convenient outlet for folk with interesting religious beliefs. I doubt they'll make too many converts here & for the rest of us, well ... it's tedious & sometimes offensive having the board jammed with this nonsense.

No offense, msolga, but wouldn't the thing to do be to ignore those you call zealots? Afterall, everyone has the same right to post on A2K, don't they? And in the Spirtuality & Religion Forum I think it would be rather logical and reasonable to assume that there will be religious folks posting here. I have been told by those not religious that I should expect them to post. :wink:

Yes.

We all have the same right to post.

And, if you don't want your idiocies challenged then go post somewhere where everyone believes as you do.

dlowan,

I am not complaining about these posts being challenged. I am merely asking msolga for clarification on why she seems to be upset about this.

Why are YOU upset?

How DARE you try to decide who has the right to post on threads in ANY forum?

Why do YOU post on threads which propose ideas differing from yours, and attempt to promote your daft rapture and tell everyone who disagrees with you that you "hope" god will not send them to hell.


MA, your irrationality needs to be tempered with some degree of self knowledge.

Your post is nonsense.

Anon-voter,

Respectfully, if you do not want anyone discussing religion then perhaps you should petition A2K to rid itself of the Spirituality & Religion Forum.

You have the right to speak your mind. We have the same right. If either you or I do not like what is posted we can do one of a few things: challenge it, accept it, or ignore it. We all have the same rights here.

You people are bringing on these negative feelings all on your own! I've always been tolerant of all faiths, but I'm starting to hate you so-called Christians with a passion. For starters, I doubt if any of you can agree on what a true Christian is !! Secondly, the more you force your "faith" into being law, the more I can't stand you. When you back a warmonger who is killing people for power and greed while he makes a fool of you, it doesn't speak well for your so-called moral structure. Keep up the good work boys and girls, pretty soon you'll have a tremendous backlash against your movement!!

For me... I pray for them along with the American troops, Australian troops, Canadian troops etc. whether they are posted someplace in peacekeeping duties, or war zones.

please I have not forced anything on you, also can you please find one post where I proclaimed hate for you or any atheist?

Well, that's something, anyway, Intrepid. Me, I frevently wish this outrageous invasion hadn't happened in the first place. Do any of you, as Christians, have problems with the fact that it did?

You force it on me by virtue of making your faith law. Christians vote for people like DeLay who say all the right patriotic things and "praise the lord" while they are busy screwing the nation. I would love to be a fly on the wall and listen to them talk about you "faithful". They've got to be choking on the laughter!!
