does this mean i'm a bad person?

You dont respect anyone you dont know, and if you say you do, you are only saying it because you think you are supposed to.

I don't really know you, but I do respect you, dude. And I know I'm not supposed to. I just do because that's who I am. That being said, I pull over out of respect. I have no where to be that it can't wait a minute or two (these things don't last 20 minutes) for this. I don't knock folks who don't though. I don't necessarily call it disrespectful if you don't pull over. I have not one problem with processions. It's not like I run into one every day. Hell, it's weeks and sometimes months between these.

You sir....are a dick! This is the south and traditions hold strong around here, if you dont like it LEAVE. Trust me no one with even notice. Am I the only one who notices he has Tim Tebow as his pic as he is bashing a tradition Im sure Tebow and his family (being Christians) follow!?!

What does Tim Tebow have to do with this? Later, QD.

I dont mind a funeral being allowed to stay in line and move through red lights. What pisses me off is stopping traffic in both damn directions for one. I dont give a shit who died, Why am I stopping when it has no effect on the damn funeral? I was in the funeral procession for Zach Gamble and even then i was saying how stupid it was for people to be stopped on hwy 92 in Woodstock at 4:30. People say it is about showing respect for the dead, thats a crock of shit. You dont respect anyone you dont know, and if you say you do, you are only saying it because you think you are supposed to.

BS I respect people I don't know. Maybe that's the problem with the world today, not enough respect.

Everyone deserves respect until they show otherwise. If someone has passed, I will respect the life that was lost.

I heard that churches have ATM's in them now, be careful.

Yeah...ALL churches have ATMs. Those aren't churches, those are businesses using religion to make money.

Not true at all, not sure what that water is...but...LOL

I use to go to a church that had a volunteer preacher and the church was very small. There were no tv screens, expensive sound system, any of that.

I've been to a few churches that are truly businesses. Huge screens, a stage setup that rivals a concert, it's ridiculous. A friend told me about one he went to that had offering cards where you can pay with debit/credit cards.

I argue the money could have been spent somewhere positive and the reply is always "We do that too."

Yeah? Well you could have spent an extra $10 million and just had a steel frame building instead. lol

Well, by definition.... they are all business. Some more than others.... i dont recall ever seeing a church that didnt collect at least some money. Even a "volunteer" preacher would collect some form of payment i imagine. It's custom for the church to pay for the preacher's housing and travel. Even if i didnt collect a paycheck, if someone was paying my rent for me, that would be payment. Theyre not all multi million $ televangelist blood suckers, but they collect money in some capacity.


to the above comment, i would hope that no christian follows the bible word for word, because to be honest.... that would be terrifying. Religion for it's merit is a positive thing. When guidance becomes control, not so much.
