Interesting - Christians think atheists should just mind their own business instead of getting their panties in a bunch over something they don't agree with/believe in. Then a number of Christians obsess over something they don't believe in. Ironic - no?

Actually, no, and your very post proves you actually don't believe what you say you believe here.

IoW, if you were a true "spiritual libertarian" and advocated such "spiritual libertarianism"
-- a "hands off" approach to what others believe/express/worship
--a true "live and let live" religious attitude
...then you wouldn't mind what others post on FR about Mormonism or Islam or anything

IoW, if you were at all consistent in this philosophy, you yourself "should" simply -- to quote you: "just mind" your "own business instead of getting" your "panties in a bunch over something" you apparently "don't agree with/believe in" that's being expressed in this and other similar threads.

So tell you what: If your philosophy is so great, lead by example. Bug out of this thread -- and bug out not because I told you, but because you say you believe that people "should just mind their own business"...

And we'd like to know if we should believe what you say -- or what you actually practice.

Stop refuting your own beliefs...it doesn't come across as any kind of coherent expression.

Wow - touched a nerve I see.

How much time do you devote to carrying the message of the Word vs. beating up on Mormons?

None of my business - just curious about the devout Christians who seem to spend more time spewing hate than carrying the Love God and your neighbor message that they seem to consider themselves to be "keepers of".

Jesus told us to "resist not evil" - it's His job. Being Humans, we can't help it, but we can control the hate we put out. Gonna use the "resist not" against me? 'Twould be sweet irony.

Of course, maybe I'm all wet and spewing hate is the way to carry the message of Love and to help folks decide to be saved if they don't already enjoy the mantle of Grace that He gave us - phew, that was sinfully run-on. If you have any data on that approach, that can be used to educate and enlighten me, I promise to study up on it.

The first “spiritual libertarian” can be found in Genesis 3...
