God

[JD8]

My own family told my wife to leave me after I left the faith... And that if she didn't it would constitute "turning her back on God."

Good ol Christian love.

Par for the course from my experiences.

I am neither a Christian nor a believer in any organized religion so I am no help to the original poster's questions. I was raised in the Catholic church and the Native American church and I am married to a Christian and am related to many, most of my family, as well as many friends. I respect whatever a person needs to believe in that gets them thru life and respect those who respect my right to believe or not believe in whatever it takes to get me thru my life. Thats about it.

Great point - Respect for other's right to choose should be something supported by everyone.

Does he/she exist? Which God? Why is your God/religion better than others? This is your chance to make me a believer. Convert me.

Find your own path man. Don't look to others.

I'm not sure if this was meant to click boost or liven up this dead space, but you did both in ONE great momentous POST. (smirk)

The only time I have an issue with religion is when it infringes on other people. So, yes, most all of the above.

I think brainwashing children should be a crime.

I don't know how atheists feel, but i'm guessing

1) there are fewer interactions with people of those religions during the daily life of the average oklahoma (OSA) atheist and,

2) if people of those religions talk down to the atheist the way some Christians do, then i'm guessing the atheist would show some distain.

But that whole give respect, get respect is sometimes lost on some people

Not too long ago we would all be burned alive for our silly questions

It is ironic (in the historic sense) that it is the christians (yes, i am assuming catholics are christians too) here that keep claiming that they are being persecuted.
Far as I can tell most of us are just asking questions. If that makes you uncomfortable about your beliefs...then good grief!
Then again, I've been told that you may be asked to leave if you ask to many questions in church.

Edit:Maybe i should just speak for myself. I am trying to ask questions and share how i see the world.
Is that something to get upset about?
