Yes!
I wish I could high-five you, jar. I am in complete agreement.
But I have a general question; I have seen the term "true christian" tossed around and I wonder why not just say christian? If you say christian, isn't the implication made that you are a christian in title only, and that self applied? Isn't it like saying you are a true man? Either you are or you aren't.
All that needs to be established is a definition.

Wait!
even claimed that the prayer drive they hosted was what caused a homosexually-caused hurricane to drift off to sea instead of hitting southern Florida.
Am I reading this right? Pat and Jerry (and the others in attendence) prayed to remove a hurricane that God sent in the first place?
Can that be considered "Praying for protection"? Is God following the Mafia's examples?
As far as gays 'cuasing' hurricanes, Schraf, maybe you'll remember a certain song by the Dead Milkmen called Stuart?
lol

You scare me. What do you want to do with these lukewarm compromisers? Just stay the hell away from me

I really don't care what non christians think of me, but if any god damn fundementalist says one critical word about me then I will PROVE from scripture that YOU are the worst piece of God damn shit on the face of the Earth.
Well, I am not a Christian, but I do believe in God. Since no one can say anything critical of oyu, then you are totally correct in everything that you say, right? Your way or the highway.
Can God shit and then damn it?
Take a pill, dude.

Go ahead Monkey and criticize me - no problem.
Those that live in glass houses....
Just rattling your chains, WT. You are very passionate, so you should expect others to respond in kind.
I and interested in you new topic regarding Fundamentalism. But if I may make a suggestion; start the thread with a clear definition of fundamentalism. While you're at it, you also may want to define Satanist; I'm pretty sure that Satanists do not believe in a devil; in other words, they are not 'devil-worshippers'.
Back on topic: Your rage against those that call themselves Christians that are, in your opinion, misrepresenting God, is understandable.
On the other hand, I believe in God, but when someone displays behavior that seems to be against the very nature of God (whatever that is), I let it go. The reason is, I totally believe that God can take care of him/her/itself. God doesn't need me to stick of and defend him.
WT, please let me know when you post your topic regarding fundamentalism.
Thanks
The Monk

That's what I thought; that Satanism was Humanism with rituals and symbols (if you use a loose enough definition of Humanism). I too, buy into the vast majority of it except that I do not believe in actual magic.
Only the fantasy magic that in D & D and M:TG.
