How so? Can you be more specific?

LOL! hehehe Good one.

No sense trying to talk logic with "believers".( Of ANY religious cult ! )

"Why doth the Heathen rage?"

I can only assume that means no?

I remember several years back, when it was a big issue in the media about religious cults that were supposedly brainwashing people, one of the organization that specialized in retrieving people put out a pamphlet as to how to identify a cult.

As I was reading through several of the points or attributes of a cult, i.e. charismatic leader, emphasis on recruitment of new followers, importance of giving money, etc. I remember thinking that shoot, this could describe about any mainstream church that I have ever been in.

After seeing all these religious threads, sin is looking better and better all the time.

Ah, I see you base your example on the Catholic tradition rather than scripture. For those who follow scripture rather than traditions, baptism is symbolic and doesn't 'get' you anything. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ. Baptism follows as a symbol of being washed clean of our sin. Oh, and by the way, we don't have to knock kids out to get them to get baptised, and we don't hold them under for 60 seconds.

"Ah, I see you base your example on the Catholic tradition rather than scripture. "

Actually no, it was based on the southern baptist tradition. But then again, there are so many that it is hard to tell which one is being discussed.

the original title of the story in Indian Express did not lead you to believe they died, but the Drudge report title was the one I used, because I thought Drudge's title was more fun.

Like you said, you can find anything in India. In India some journalists come up with outrageous articles and article titles for the sake of having fun and getting attention. I like that style. That is how the stories about monkey-men riding motorcycles got started.

I can only assume that means no?

Or you can note the irony in asking me to be more specific about your vagueries. :)

You don't think contributions to SSI fit your description about as closely as the both of the examples you used?

[Kerberos]

You make absolutely no sense. Are you capable of getting to the point or must you continually talk around the issue. Or could it be that you just don’t have a point?

[schwabk]

There is no Christian Scripture. What!! The Gospals. You are following the Gospals--what a joke! There are over 20,000 errors as documented by your own Christian scholors. they are man made books. What scriptures do you have. Jesus is the son of God ---ya right!!

Can't ya just smell the diversity...

When you think about it this isn't that much different than some christian rituals such as say baptism.

I've thought about it. You are an idiot.

"I've thought about it. You are an idiot. "

Gee that article was 5 months ago. Are you a little slow on the uptake?
