 st>> He is stating that if one has a god, then he hates them because one hides

 JS>      As I read his statement (Bjorn, please correct me if I am wrong) he
 JS> is
 JS> saying that he hates those that hide behind their religion to justify
 JS> their actions. I don't see God or whatever deity you prefer making people
 JS> do anything. People decide to do what they do. Then claim that the devil
 JS> made them do it.

Yes, that's a good interpretation of what I've said.

 st>> He's stated many times here in this echo that he dislikes those who talk,
 st>> write or preach about god.

 JS>      This much is true.

No, it isn't.
You can live with any God you want but don't try to make me believe in yours.

 JS> And people are free to feel that way too. But that
 JS> doesn't mean that others can't or shouldn't talk about religion. No matter
 JS> what or how much one does something there will be people that like, don't
 JS> care, or dislike it.

So long as the discussion is honest and that one live by the rules they preach
I haven't a problem with it but when someone is dishonest and put a patronizing
and biased opinion about me on a anonymous webpage you bet I will fight back.
That's not how to be an honest Christian but it shows how the regligion can be
used to hide behind and Shannon have proven my example.

 st>>  If one is a Christian, then he (and
 st>> the other Bjorn) Chastise them here in this echo for having a religion
 st>> (you've seen the conversations).  So, by saying one is a Christian (as I
 st>> have), then he accuses me of "Hiding behind my god" -- which isn't
 st>> physically possible. I'm not the best Christian, and as a matter of fact,
 st>> I'm defunked in many aspects because I tend to cuss too much -- drink a
 st>> little, and I'm divorced.


 JS>      I don't consider myself a Christian as such. I believe in the
 JS> existence
 JS> of a higher being. But I don't go to church much at all. I don't need a
 JS> church to do my praying. I tend to drink occasionally and I say damn or
 JS> hell occasionally. <g> If people can accept that then fine. Otherwise it
 JS> is their problem and not mine. In fact I dislike people that try to push
 JS> their religious beliefs onto me. Which means yes Michiel, while I may
 JS> respect their religious beliefs I am not crazy about Jehovah Witness's
 JS> pushy manner either.

There you and I are almost at the same page. I would like to believe at a
higher being but with the world looking the way it does, that's a VERY
tough thing to do.

 st>> Realizing this, he still continues to accuse me of "hiding behind my
 st>> god". Therefore, since he accuses all Christians of hiding behind their
 st>> god, and has stated he hates all Christians who hide behind their god,
 st>> then the logical conclusion is that he hates all Christians.  Don't read
 st>> between the lines, "read the lines he wrote".

To restore any of your credibility Shannon. Remove that garbage on your
website and do what you want every honest person to do, apologize or I
will follow your every single post in here and tell everyone what a coward
you are and I will make a contribution to the Snooze for everyone else to
read about how you are behaving.
Now it's up to YOU.
