What Are Your Beliefs?

[Feed the Monkey]

Hey Y'all.

Please note SP and all, that my comments regarding SP's post are really not an attack. SP is a great individual from what I have read of his posts and really is championing causes that he believes in. I suppose I'm just playing Devils Advocate really. I still look at his thread and go "This is just a list of negatatives." I don't believe this, I don't believe this, I don't believe this etc. I'm all for trying to shake people out of the Chrisitan Fundamentalist rut that seems to be pervading America at the moment. But how do we do this? Do we do this by being intollerent of the intollerent? That just seems wrong to me and makes me do what they do. And a lot of his comments seem rather than being anti-christian, are anti-religion. Not all religions are like Chrisitianity. Not all Chrisitans are fundamentalists. Not all chrisitans are anti-gay. Not all christians are anti-choice. It's just the ones who are who seem to have the loudest voices. This is of course a shame.

I don't beleive I was attacking SP's beliefs, nor do I feel that he should defend them if he feels that I was. It is worth noting though that he attacks the beliefs of others quite a lot on other threads....

Best Regards to all and an apology to Mr. Smartpants if he feels at all attacked by my comments on his post. As I say, I suppose I'm just playing Devils advocate in this situation.
