[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edblysard</i> <br /><br />True, <br />But this might be an example of a troll's effort backfiring. <br /> <br />After reading all the postings, it is rather satisfying to see that not only is religious tolerance an almost universal trait among the members, but the ability to poke fun at ones self, as well as each other, is alive and well also. <br /> <br />And I noted that we all were quite quick to defend CWs right to believe however she wants too, and her right to express that belief here, and just as quick to defend the right of some to not believe in a eternal being, and their right to express such beliefs. <br /> <br />Makes me feel a lot more secure in knowing that at least that part of the American experience is still alive and well. <br /> <br />So, for once, a trolls posting managed to bring out the good in all of us, and create a great platform for Deacon Gabe and Dan the man to exercise their truly god given talents! <br /> <br />Ed <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Heh, well....the best way to get a troll out from under his bridge is with the use of fire,.....yes?[8D] Flame the little sucker out of there? <br /> <br />While the following is not intended as a reflection on CW, because all I know of her is the positive that I read from her posts, but as it pertains strictly to the solicitous religious pandering that the more proactive evangelicals are know for,...well I would tend to side with the complainer in that case, because it can get nauseating. <br /> <br />The ones I h8 the worst are the flowery "OH, god bless you, I'll be praying for your soul" types, where the implication is that they will, since I don't have the sense to, etc........(which I don't think CW is that way, so the guys complaint, in this case, is probably not well founded) <br /> <br />I don't think it is a matter of the beliefs that is the problem, it is the evangelical nature of a portion who make all the rest look bad... <br /> <br />As far as "In God we trust", and the "one nation under god" bit in the pledge,... well I think both have no place in a government professing to be equal to all. <br /> <br />Michael Newdow has it right, IMHO http://www.restorethepledge.com/ . <br /> <br /> <br />As someone who was born a Catholic, but at one point decided "enough is enough", it is degrading to have to carry currency with someone elses emotional baggage emblazoned across the front of it.. So, I pay by check, whenever possible [:D]
