Well, I see this going south. The mans wording did not offend me at all, but I expect there were better ways of phrasing it. As for the rest, both sides, I think there is a lot of underwear wadded up in some folks cracks.
Both sides-If this is what you truly believe, why get your shorts in a knot over somebody else's opinion? As Shakespeare observed, " Me thinks the lady doth protest too much"
Believe what you will. Let me do the same. Believers are either going to go to heaven, or become worm dirt. Non believers are either going to hell, or become worm dirt. Reckon that means we'll all know for sure someday, or just be worm dirt.
Ever notice how the non Christians are quick to jump on a topic and tell everyone how the "thumpers" shove things down there throats?
In reality the only shoving is the non/anti telling everyone how bad Christians are.
Search the forums and see for yourself.
Every thread that has the slightest bit of religion has our usual nay sayers adding how Christianity is shoved down there throat.
But i don't see any posts telling them to go to church or the likes.
Looks to me you nay sayers are the hypocrites.
Don't accuse US of forcing something when you don't let a chance go by to down someone's beliefs.
Outside of religion, there's one or two of you that need to get back on your meds.
You really sound to be in a foul mood with every post you make.
Either grow up, see a doctor, or remove whatever it is from your rear.

Call me a believer in myths, if you will. Call me superstitious, if you will. I really don't care about what you believe, any more than you care about what I believe. I have never tried to cram my beliefs down anybody's throat, and have shown respect for the beliefs of others, or the lack thereof. I do not, however, particularly care to be ridiculed for my own beliefs.
That said, I am as profane as anybody, and more so than a lot of people. What the man said, causes no offense to me, just seems like he made his views on paypal abundantly clear, with no chance of even the most ignorant of people misunderstanding him. Words are communication. He communicated his position quite clearly.

LOL,,not really, the difference in my youth I did 4 years in a Bible college and can argue the aspects of the Bible inside and out.When Eric was here I rattled him so bad one night he even called his paster to help him out. It could never be Blasphemy because GOD is not a name, its not the name of any Deity, it is a title. The LORD in the Christian Bible has a name "Yahweh" . Using GD ..I may mean ODEN or Zeus they were also Gods.

I don't mind atheists, it's the militant atheists like kev the hutt
and skyqueen that go around pissing in a believer's cheerios
every chance they get that are so painfully monotonous and annoying.

Im sorry but I do not understand your logic..this post started because someone "a christian" got their feelings hurt because someone else used GD to express his strong feelings. So the person that started this thread is trying to force his beliefs that saying GD is wrong ,profane or as titled foul mouthed when many people do not believe so.

The OP doesn't say his feelings are hurt,
he asks a question then, by implication,
expresses disapproval.
How do make the leap from expressing disapproval
to forcing his beliefs?

It's not THAT hard to figure out.
Poster X doesn't like words used in narrative. Complains to others that share his certain beliefs. Words disapear and no longer have any power or influence (Kinda like an invisible deity?).
