I don’t know that our society expects people to be Christian at all. I certainly don’t.

I’m not a religious person. I don’t assume anyone is a Christian or a Buddhist or Jewish or Muslim until they tell me they are. In my opinion, spirituality or lack of same is a private matter and really nobody’s business what I may or may not be.

>>I don’t know that our society expects people to be Christian at all.

80% of Americans feel the need to tell pollsters that they are Christian, yet only 20% attend church, read the bible, or pray regularly. These 60% feel a need (and that obviously does not include you) to profess to another human that they do follow a Jesus that they only know by name and possibly a few well-known stories. That need comes from a need to fit into what they perceive as a nominally Christian society.

And yet...
...you made it our business to tell us you are not a religious person.

Last time I checked, FR threads were PUBLIC...
...If you were consistent with your philosophy, you would have kept it to yourself...kept your irreligiosity as a private matter...the private matter you preach others to observe, but fail to practice yourself.

We call an expression like this self-refuting language...

So...not only is your username arbitrary, so is the application of your worldview.

Next time, if its all supposed to be private, keep it to yourself...:)
