If it wasn't Standards, it was "Sheep Stealing", or compromised preaching. I was so sick of hearing this nonsense, I finally stopped answering the phone so I didn't have to listen to this Religious rhetoric that is so prevalent in Christianity.

Regardless of what people believe, this strife runs deep in the realm of Religion for one, simple reason; Facts based upon Myth.

Really? My experience water seeks its own level, meaning they were calling you because you were singing their song.

ok, to be fair, this is a forum, wherein things like this are held up, so that light may shine on them? While i am personally horrible at not phrasing some of my replies in the best way, i always mean for them to be rebutted; i know there is another side to the coin.

Iow, if i tell you "what i'm hearing in your post is _________________." (perceived as a negative) i usually omit--my bad--the "...and I'm sure you don't mean that, so could you rephrase?" part. (to me it's like saying "imo" after every post; everything i post is my opinion. "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if i have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense" adapted.

Yeah, that's true. I was in the "Party" at one time, telling everyone that unless you believe like me and my Religion, your lost and going to Hell.

Don't do that anymore.
