I know. It's so bloody hard to find any type of Christmas display any more. I have to drive all of a mile or two in order to find a church. War is hell ain't it.

It is not as if Christianity does not try and influence politics and the law to try and ban things that they find offensive but have nothing to do with them. It's not as if they have not or still continue to try and influence how science is taught in public schools.

Play the poor pitiful victim all you want. You made your bed not you can sleep in it. Don't think you can threaten me with eternal punishment and have me roll over and accept it. Don't think you can put up your religious displays on public lands that my tax dollars help fund and have me keep quiet about it. Do not think that you can try and force your religious beliefs into the public school system that my money helps fund and not get any push back.

Cry all you want but be aware that we will not remain quiet any more.

Show me one threat I have made? Please do so. Line them up if you will. Rather, us horrible Christians, and in particular us horrible Roman Catholics simply identify what Jesus said. You can like it or not and you can believe in it or not. I know the Good News in the Gospels show how violent, threatening, et cet., Jesus was. Rather, his message: love God, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, and so forth. That message and his actions, which exemplify that message, was incredibly violent and threatening ... wasn't it? And, you find it so distasteful that others repeat it today, do you not? And, you find it incredibly distasteful that Jesus said there will be consequences for those who do not believe in that message, do you not? I know what happened to Jesus on earth for spreading that message on that fateful Good Friday. So, no crying, or gnashing of teeth ... and yes, that message from our Savior will be broadcasted from the highest mountain tops no matter what. You can try all you want to bash it, mock it, and even "kill" the Son of God in any symbolic fashion you want, but guess what, that message is alive, spreading, and some day it will be fully vindicated on the Day of Judgement. So, if you do not like that "message", then tough and you will have to deal with it. No one is forcing you to do anything ... heck, you do not even have to listen to it or comment on it, either.

Did Jesus really talk about Hell?

I understand if you read the Koran there is nothing more violent there than in the old testament or perhaps revelations.

Pardon the expression, but beats the hell out of me. I don't think I've spent more than a couple hours of my 43 years contemplating the existence or lack of a god.

Me too.

Thusly, if anyone can provide some good old fashioned proof that any of the five aforementioned mythical characters and entities exist - have at it.

I know that He exist and can't understand why anyone would think and different. The Lord has helped the wife and I many times through our lives.
Just two years ago, my wife Vickie was on her death bed with chronic liver disease. The Doctors gave her less than a year to live. I git on my knees and prayed for her and many others like jplinville, junkyard jim, and several others. Within a week my wife was completely healed. Even the Doctors couldn't explain it. My printing and sign business was going down hill, I prayed about it, and now we are in GREAT shape. Just this weekend, I was able to buy an almost new digital programable paper cutter. I praise My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ so much.

Not if the current results of this poll, along with recent election results represent a trend. I think the highly religious types have realized they are no longer the mainstream and are freaking out about it. Unfortunately, they seem to have effectively taken over the Republican party, much to the party's detriment, which is something Sen. Goldwater warned us about many years ago. I'm curious if the current Republican decline will result in the emergence of a new major party.

The 'you' in regards to being forced was a generic one not a specific one. Sorry for the confusion.

You can repeat it as often was you like. I do not care because I do not believe in any of it. Have no interest in bashing mocking or killing it. All I want is for it to be kept out of the public domain. When the message, what ever that is starts to infringe on my rights you can be dam sure I will not 'deal' with it. I will fight it tooth and nail. Not sure how your message is spreading but I believe we are now up to 10 states that allow same sex marriages.

Religious beliefs are being forced on people in the public domain every day. We are starting to push back.

Same as it is in a crazy person's mind or the drug addled mind of an addict on hallucinogens. Doesn't make it real. In my mind, the Victoria Secret models and the girls from Vivid Pictures are fighting about who gets me tonight too.
