Originally posted by WhoaNellie1487 Again, You can call me Nellie. (It's a whole load easier.) I don't have a " priest". I have a pastor, and we've talked several times about this subject. He teaches a lot about the "RELATIONSHIP" with God. He doesn't believe in religion either. I know it's not a religion. I provided proof against it. You won't listen, you are totally ignoring the facts here. That's because the majority of this place is liberal, Yes read my lips L-I-B-E-R-A-L. That or no one will actually stand up to say anything. My family backs me up on this one, and many of the people I know in church back me up on this one. That's good enough for me.

Okay, my mistake on calling him a priest. He is a pastor. I'm sure he teaches about "relationships" with God, because many people do teach that. But I refuse to believe that someone who belongs to a church, someone who works for a church, doesn't believe Christianity is a religion, when it clearly is defined as one.

You stick to your beliefs, and I'll stick to mine. Neither of us are going to budge.

How about not? I said myself in that post that I was done. You're the one that brought me back into the scheme of things. Drop it Chrissi.

My pastor is a brilliant man, Trust me on this one. He tells the differences between religion,and relationship. He knows. I would listen to him,before I would listen to anyone else about this.

He's not only studied this,he's lived it.

and ya never know,Just don't forget what I said.

Originally posted by WhoaNellie1487 Yet again, it prooves you don't know all that much about God and church.. Not all churches have priests. I better my relationship,on my own. Attending churh is a place to learn,and to have fellowship with Christians.. It helps the relationship,sure. But, it's on your own time when you get close to God. You don't just pray at church. Mass? There is no mass. So let's get this straight. 1) No mass 2) No priest 3) It's my choice to strengthen my relationship with God, church doesn't do that for you. You have to do it on your own.

Hmm.. I worded things incorrectly.

I realize, that in to have a relationship with God, you do this on your own time. I know you do not just pray at church. I abandoned the use of good wordage there.

*raises eyebrows* Perhaps my word use is incorrect again. You're telling me that the church you attend does have any sort of mass? Sounds like an odd church to me.

Originally posted by Echo of Silence If I could, I would cut and paste Mr Squirrel's original post. It was really good. His definitions don't copy. So you could, if you choose, go back to my page 1 (first 40 posts) and read what he wrote and her response. He presented his argument. He didn't beat it to death. Once she responded, the topic was over. That this continued is because some people don't know when to stop arguing. I think Mr Squirrel is a good example. I doubt however that some of you will learn from his example. How unfortunate for the rest of us.

And you are showing a prime example of letting things go?

Go back to my posts and note that I provided those same definitions to my argument. The reason why the argument continued was simply because I was not satisfied with Nellie's interpretation of my posts.

Originally posted by devonian rabbit Its really pretty simple guys. Calling it a "relationship, not a religion" is a euphamism for, "My religion is the correct one, so it can't be classified under the same word as all the other religions." richard

I thought this was worth repeating.

Echo, this is a political debate forum, what exactly do you plan to accomplish by telling people not to argue? Please, you're not adding anything constructive here.

Nellie, you aren't from Texas, by chance, are you?

Oops. Someone has a problem listening AGAIN?

Wow. This is getting old.

I love good arguments. I love good debates. Don't forget, I've read this forum for 7 months. Every morning. I love it.

There's a difference between a "good" argument and a "bad" argument. A bad argument goes on and on and on. Nellie's response to Mr Squirrel (how many posts ago) made it clear that she was on a different page and that she chose to be there.

Why am I typing this? You don't listen.
