Wow what an excellent thread with the photo's thank you for adding the link to this thread.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
Little ole ME???? I doubt it seriously. You see, I KNOW I'm a sinner, and it is only the grace of God and the blood of Christ that saves me. I don't preach on street corners, and I don't go pointing out the mote in someones eye while ignoring the log in my own.
However, the vast majority of Americans fall into that category of "Sunday Christians"; those that dress up in their finery and go to meeting. Meanwhile, they curse out every little old lady that beats them to the Outback afterward.
My point is that most people want to live their religion as THEY see it; not as the "hierarchy" of their denomination likes to decree it. That applies to ALL religions, IMHO.

I see. You don't point out the mote in other's eyes. You're a sinner, it's just that they are so much worse. Thank you for clearing that up.
You're a real gem, you know?
Are you being purposely obtuse, or are you just trying to start an argument? For the record, I couldn't care less about somebody else's religious beliefs or the devoutness of their practice thereof: that is their business.
In case you are just being obtuse, my point is as follows: In our society, people are FREE to be as religious or not as it pleases them. That is their right; to be a Holy-Spirit filled Born-again Fundamentalist, a Sunday Christian, a Catholic, a Mormon, a Jew, a Muslim, or an athiest - and as a Christian (of whatever type) I believe it is not for me to judge somebody else's piety. Our society bases its ethos on a Judeo-Christian background. MOST American Christians are not "devout" anything (in the strictest interpretation of the term) - if we were, I daresay we would be akin to the Taliban (just like the DUers accuse us of anyway).
Further, my post to Cultural Jihad questions just how devout these Muslim nations would be without religious police enforcing their interpretation of their religion, and judging each persons piety.
That's all. I wouldn't force my religious beliefs on anyone, and I fail to see how my attitude would deter anyone from voting, or being Christian.
Great piece .BTTT
