    Why are you baited? Did you want to defend these people or something?

    The website you posted takes some pretty extreme, ignorant and foolish fundamentalist statements, then lumps them with some that aren't so off the wall, and says they're all equal, anybody that's agrees with any of them must be a mentally challendged 'fundy'.

    Example? Here's one that I don't find all that crazy:

    "We can't pray in our schools, disturbing nobody, and yet Oregon just passed a law that allows people to actually have sex and masturbate on stage in strip clubs. Actually having sex!!! They said this is "protected free speech" and an "expression of an opinion." Give me a break."
    This is a good point. The poster isn't talking about 'school prayer', or teacher lead prayer, he's talking about the ability to pray to yourself within a school building. You're not allowed to pray quietly to yourself in a school, but dancers are allowed to use phallic devices on each other, provided it's part of their 'artistic expression of dance', under the auspices of free speech. Yet I'm some kind of neanderthal 'fundy' because I agree with the poster and think that's going a bit too far?

    Not to mention, even if I agree that most of the statements on the website are foolish and examples of limited thinking, what possible purpose could you have had to post it for ridicule other than to disparage people of faith?

    Wow. Some group of Christian-haters gathered up a bunch of statements of varying ridiculousness written by anonomous (sp?) people from the internet. BFD.

    Even their 'spelling award' is pathetic.

    But, I sense a new award coming along just for you, Idaho!

    Errr... I never heard of such a law. At least where I live, there's no such prohibition. I mean, you can't take off class time for religious activities, but praying to yourself a spare moment is fine.

    Can those dancers put up their act in the town's largest mall? Or any other public place except a porn club? I'm sure they'd be hauled off for indecent exposure within minutes.
    If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.

    Okay, two seperate points I want to address here, and I will do them in reverse order from your original post Don, if that's okay.

    It's been questioned already, but I would also like to ask. Where is it law in the US that children are not allowed to pray quietly to themselves in school? If that is the case anywhere, I would like to go on record saying that I would disagree strongly with such a law.

    But the comparison the original poster makes has no validity even if such a law exists. What strippers do in private clubs where patrons go by choice has no bearing on what takes place in a public school paid for by tax dollars where children are forced to attend.

    I agree. It is a very unfair portayal of Christians in general. Any time you deal in lowest common denominators, you will be making an unfair comparison.

    There are many people that share some basic ideologies with me that I certainly wouldn't want "on my side" in a debate because the basis of their beliefs may be flawed or they might express themselves so poorly that they would be nothing more than a hindrance, no matter how "right" they may be.

    Idiots are not specific to Christianity. Every group has them.

    I understand your annoyance with this whole thread Don.

    No I'm still a prick.



    But I have seen the Christian-baiting rising to levels that are just plain mean lately.

    Pointless baiting detracts from valid complaints/criticisms against Christianity when those of us who are motivated by concern rather than prejudice try to make our own points.

    Threads like this make it easier for Christians in the Org to just dismiss any other criticism of Christianity by writing it off as hatred.

    My only real problem with Christians/Christianity (and organized religion in general) is when they try to tell others how to live their lives rather than minding their own lives.

    I see no problem with Christian kids praying quietly to themselves in school, as long as they don't try to force the kid beside them to do it as well.

    I also think it's none of our business what a bunch of like-minded fundamentalists want to discuss on their own website. As long as they are not coming here and posting their sillyness, I see no reason why we should go and import it ourselves, unless it is in support of a valid point we are trying to make on a related topic.

    Thank you for your rational views dear friend. Much like how lately I have found the same type of meaness and unfair charaterizations of my Muslim brothers. Ha!!! Some say there is no room for understanding in the Backroom, its good to prove some beliefs wrong.
