A stomach with an ache.

The funniest part is that I’m so bad at spelling I don’t even notice the errors and you guys start making jokes about, well my friends, the jokes on me.

 

[Rich]

the jokes on me.

What's new?

 

[jsanders]

What's new?

Well that's true, but at least I admit it, and laugh at myself.

Well it's a step in the right direction

and have a very real concern and heartfelt burden for anyone that does not.

That's odd, I have the same feelings for those of your ilk

I can see how you would say nasty things to me. But why would you spill your muck on respectable people?

You mean me saying that's odd, I have the same feelings for those of your ilk is muck but this isn't "and have a very real concern and heartfelt burden for anyone that does not."
Still nothing new for you is it?

If you took it as muck, then I must have said it wrong because I didn't mean it as muck. I thought I was following what Matt had written and was being sincere with what I said. I believe what I believe. You don't have to share that belief, but because I do, then I do have a heartfelt burden for those that don't. How is that muck? I would rather it show that I care.

Where did I say I took it as muck?

I guess I thought this made it sound like what you were saying:

but never mind it really doesn't matter much.

Saunders introduced the work muck into the thread, not me

Perhaps, from your point of view, Shane.

On the other hand, since one's faith, spirituality, or lack thereof, is a completely personal experience, your "concern" over that facet of someone's psyche could be perceived as more than slightly pompous. We're not talking about being born with a disability, we're talking about a conscious decision that is, IMHO, the pinnacle of self awareness, definition, and perception. It is by these choices, not the blind following in the teachings of our forefathers, that we define ourselves. In essence, you attack that part of the self that was created on purpose, not by a quirk of biology or genetics.

I don't disagree with you which is why I don't go around "sharing my faith." However, in this particular case, Matt brought up a way of thinking and I was at least being honest enough to say, I think along those lines. If you and I worked together and I knew you, even as much as I know over the internet, then you would be someone that I would talk to about sports or whatever subject you wanted to but if God, Jesus and the Bible would ever be discussed then it would only be because you brought it up. My beliefs are such that I would have a heart felt concern for you and probably, unknowingly to you, I would even pray for you , but I would not use that as a license to "bring up THE conversation" with you. If that makes me "perceived as more than slightly pompous", then I guess I would have to live with that. To me it's caring enough about Bodi and my fellow man have a place in my heart for them. At the same time I do understand that everything in life is a personal choice and I am not the belief police and can not go around trying to get people to "see it my way." I think this thread lends it's self for me to go beyond how I would normally talk and act and give my 2 cents worth.

Why doesn't the rest of America share this feeling then?

 

[ShaneMan]

Why doesn't the rest of America share this feeling then?

Don't know. You will need to ask them. I haven't had the opportunity to meet all of them.
