That's hardly the point. Usually your posts are entertaining in the right thread. Just for the record... I saw Bill Maher live and he made some religious jokes but when it came to Jesus or any other God directly he felt a cold from the audience and immediately curbed it just b/c it's a low blow.MaxMirkin said:Babe, when have I ever cared what others think of my jokes/posts?
I am proud to say I am as you may have seen from some other posts.

Why is that? Because someone was curious who else shared his same beliefs? Its good to know who share your beliefs, because you can turn to those people during times when you want to discuss certain aspects of that belief.
The same people who preach tolerance are intolerant of Christian beliefs.

Tolerance is one thing, being obnoxious is another. I'm tolerant of other peoples' religions and beliefs, as long as they keep them to themselves and stop pretending that they are the only ones who know about it.
Don't forget all the thousands of saints and martyrs over the past 2,000 years who gave their spiritual and physical lives over to God, and never said one word about it.
And some of you people have the audacity to go around proclaiming "I'm saved! I'm saved!", as if you were the only one, and bothering everyone about it. Take a lesson from the story of St. Mary of Egypt, for one... http://www.monachos.net/monasticism/mary_of_egypt/life.shtml or the story of the holy men... http://gci.gospelcom.net/dw/1999/12/13/
Maybe you might learn humility.

He knew that... maybe just looking to make waves
No, he's looking to knock some people down off their pride pedestals. Pride is a sin, you know. Being proud of being a Christian is a sin, ironically.
Have a nice afterlife.
busyLivin said:No offense, but I've never heard a more ridiculouse thing in my life.
I guess you don't know your Seven Deadly Sins. Pride is one of them. Take some more bible school lessons.

That's because people preached & spread it.. not from practicing it in private. There is no way it is a sin to be proud of it.

And murdered thousands of indigenous people in Christ's name.
what does that have to do with anything we are talking about? We're talking about whether or not it's a sin to be proud of your faith.Minotaur said:And murdered thousands of indigenous people in Christ's name.
You're talking about mistakes the Church has made.
Go back and read what you wrote, then read what I wrote.
And this is what I'm arguing with?

what's sad though, I think its WAY more than thousands...

The discussion was one whether or not being proud of your faith is a sin. I mearly stated the fact that there would not be a lot of Christians today if they all hid & worshiped in private.
I still fail to see how your "sins of the Church" hold any relevancy. The Church is NOT God. It is man-made guide to God.
just another internet tough guy who can't keep a discussion civil.. always gotta make it ugly

True.

Yep, that's me.
There is a huge difference in a haughty pride and a Christ centered, humility pride. I just love how people decide to believe and bost in one verse in the Bible and yet miss so many others.
It is true, God detests (hates) an arrogant pride (i.e. Proverbs 8:13).
But, in James 1:9 we are told that "the brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position."
Galatians 6 also discusses taking pride in doing good for others...lifting a fellow brother up.
This type of pride is not a sin. It becomes a sin when it is "hey look at me and what I did", instead of reflecting Christ in our actions and speech.
We cannot take the part of the Bible we want to and ignore the rest. One must believe it all from cover to cover. Not that we will understand all the mysteries of it, but must accept it as the authoritative, inspired Word of God.
And sharing one's faith is not being intolerant, rude or prideful. It is showing love, concern and passion for someone who may be lost and in need of Jesus Christ. Many may not do a great job at, and many seem overbearing...I will agree, but for the most part people do it for the love and concern of others.

Count me as well...
If more people lived their beliefs rather than preached them, there's be no need to preach them. Most people have no idea how to talk to others about religion, so they go overboard. Patience is a virtue...

Does that mean that you all believe that there's a big red fucker somewhere out there w/ horns and a pitchfork, just dying to get at your asses? And if so, will your faith really keep Minotaur at bay?
