Christmas

[Croesy Blue]

I understand that, however what gofer blue and myself have isn't a dry, boring, negative, dated and irrelevant religion; it's vibrant, relevant and as up to date as ever relationship with a God who has never let us down (and I am saying that knowing what all genuine Christians would say, not having consulted Gofer Blue, he can either confirm this or otherwise).

So in short, we have no negative aspects, because our faith isn't IN religion.

It's also used to control vulnerable people and take advantage of them and used to judge other people's lifestyles. That's what people don't like about it.

Then why do you insist in talking at cross purposes?

This conversation is as logical as -

A: "hey would you like a couple of free tickets to Saturday's game?"

B: "why would I want to mix with a bunch of thugs? Isn't it true that some people have been injured or killed by following football?"

The short answers are:

1. Christianity has nothing to do with "control" of the masses, vulnerable or otherwise. I would be more worried about Google in that regard than Christians! I think you will find Truthpaste and I both agree that we do not regard Christianity as a "religion" in that sense of the word. Religion to me is the strict observance of a set of rules like boxes to be ticked and lots of mandatory good works to be carried out before I snuff it. Not for me thanks.

2. Christians do not judge. We may have opinions but only God judges.
