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."

This is exactly what I've been trying to point out.
WhoaNellie, you're totally confusing fact and personal opinion. You cite your personal opinion as fact, and you bash the cold hard facts as other people's opinions.
Try this: say exactly the opposite of everything you think you should say. Then you might make some sense. |

Don't tell me it took you this long to "get" that?
I think you guys enjoy banging your heads against brickwalls. :D |

WhoaNellie, I think maybe you should take on this subject with your priest. I highly doubt he is going to agree to the fact that what he preaches is not religion and faith.
Read above what Opus stated.
I am tired of arguing with someone who doesn't even realize that Christianity is a religion, even when provided with facts and proof. You haven't proved it is not. You stated your opinions that it is not. So far, not a single person agrees with you.
Kthxbye. |
She's right. You don't listen.
She has a relationship with God. Not with a church. There is NO priest to consult. |

Perhaps you weren't reading correctly. At that point I was not commenting on her "relationship" with God, I was commenting on her statement that Christianity is not a religion. I was saying to take it to the priest about whether or not Christianity is a Religion. It had nothing to do with her "relationship with God". |

No, Anun, read your OWN post.
I read correctly.
Let me quote you:

YOUR priest. |

Her posts have a relationship with my left nut. Not with this thread. There is NO logic to comprehend.

Diginut, you don't listen either? chuckle chuckle
Reread her posts. She specifically addressed this way back when. |

Yes, maybe she should take on the subject with *her* priest. If she goes to church, she has a priest. She "better's" her relationship with God by going to church and praying (at least that is what most do), and in the process, has a particular priest in which she sits and listens to his mass. That means that she has a priest.
If she doubts that Christianity is a religion, then she should go to her priest and discuss it with him. He can tell her that it in fact, is a religion. |

First of all, not everyone who has a relationship with God, has a priest.
Secondly, you two argued this thing to death and looked rather foolish. It was obvious after Mr Squirrel's post way back when, that she had her own opinions and she wasn't about to change. So don't start attacking others.
She can "think" the sky is red for all I care. Of course, I know she is not correct. But I am not going to argue it to death. |

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. |

*sigh* Echo, you are the one arguing it to death. This will be my final point for I have dawdled enough away from my essay that is in dire need of being written.
I was not commenting on her relationship with God. She said she goes to church. When one goes to church, they more often than not, stay for a mass. In staying for a mass, there is a priest that leads it. If there is a priest that leads it and you regularly go to that mass, that priest can be considered *your priest*.
And I wasn't attacking others. You're the one that said something to me. Not the other way around.
*sigh* Once again, I am tired of arguing this topic, as I said in my post earlier. But, you of all people should know Echo, that if I am addressed, I always comment. |
