Now Paul, you know me better than that.Originally Posted by admin
I put what I put in () because I wanted to make a point. My point was that in the other thread you were bothered by the fact that someone mentioned "prayer" to you unsolicited, yet here you readily acknowledge you and I and everyone else live in a "Christian society" and we have "expect certain things"......so my point was......why would you be so upset about the waiter's mention of prayer if you yourself KNOW this is a "Christian society"????
That's what I meant by riding the fence. You shouldn't acknowledge that you live in a "Christian society" and then complain that someone mentions anything that has to do with Christianity. I wasn't trying to say the waiter was right nor wrong. My issue has nothing to do with him directly, just that you've mentioned many times before that this world is something but then you don't like when they act exactly as they are pre-dispositioned to. Wouldn't that be more like common sense?
If I said that we lived in a heathenistic world full of miscreants and devils, yet was surprised to see someone did something bad right in front of me.......wouldn't you say I was out of touch with reality or riding the fence?
I don't blame you for taking whatever days off they give you. I just think it's ironic, and it is considering your stance on this. Same as any white supremacists that marched in protest and was beside themselves when MLK day was petioned to become a National Holiday, yet they stay at home just like everyone else now. It's ironic is all. I'm not passing judgement, I'm merely stating something. In all honesty, you know I can take any day I want off so this "holiday" thing doesn't affect me in the least, but if it did I probably would take any "holiday" given to me too. So I understand. But it doesn't change the fact that it's ironic.Whats next i can't use the american $$$ b/c it says "in god we trust".... you guys need to think sometimes before you post. maybe we should all be Jehova Witnesses and we won't have to worry about holidays
As for the thick skin comment.....you are usually very tolerant of lots of things (except religion it seems). There are many times where you have much thicker skin than I do, by far. You know that. But for some reason, religion (with Christianity being a focal point it seems) gets under yours much faster than anything else. That's why I made the comment I made. Again, not passing judgement, just an observation.
