do you go to the Christain Wire Service on a daily basis and find things to post over here in DU.

It appears to me that your primary motivation is to create flame threads for the pruposes of heating up religion wars on this site.


Have you ever been to Sojo.net or other left leaning Chrisitian sites? Have you ever picked up a hammer and help Habitat build a house. I worked for six months at Habitat's world Headquarters in Americus, GA. The heart of the SBC south. You have no idea how many white southern Baptists have worked on better houseing for the poor, You have no idea how many Baptists opened their homes to the folks flooded out of Ner Orleans or how many fundies will be working to buld new houses in the the lower Ninth Ward. I assure you it will be a lot more then you apparently could imagine.

All you seem to want to do is stir up new ways to poke fun at the group as a whole. Why not pick up a hammer and help them rebuild and engage them directly. That what I have done and it is remarkably effective way to both understand them and destroy their illogical conclusions.

A reminder about the new rules on DU

4. Religion -- Discussion topics relating to religion that have little or no relation to politics are no longer permitted in the General Discussion forum, and must instead be posted in the Religion/Theology forum. To offset this tightening of the rules, we have loosened our guidelines regarding what sorts of comments about religion are considered inappropriate, and we have added clear warnings to those who are easily offended by religious discussion. We retain the all-important distinction that "discussions about ideas are usually permitted, but broad-brush bigoted statements about groups of people — either religious or non-religious — are not."

I am not saying lay off enitrely: some of it certainly need to be said. just be a little more open minded about the variety of religious work going on there.
