No matter what the " Im better than you are " state of mind always creeps out. They can brainwash you into believing it, they just can't seem to teach you to hide it.

For crying out loud, you guys asked him if he had any enemies and he asserted his innocence based on his faith. Then you guys spent like 2 pages making fun of his faith.

Assholes.

Lemme guess, you're an OP Fearing Man?
 
It's funny how this has all developed. I simply stated my beliefs and convictions in response to blantant misprepresentation of the perspective I was coming from. I am confused about how stating some of the values I hold dear is an insult to everyone. I am not coming from an "I'm holier than though" perspective, but there are individuals who are hellbent on spinning it that way.

Futhermore, I do not go around carrying my bible and shoving Christianity down people's throats. I was unaware that saying "CHRISTIAN" would illicit such inflammatory backlash. Bottom line is that I made this thread to get some ideas for getting my car fixed. I mentioned my religion because it related to questions people had about my character (I.E. Who did you piss off? , Breakup with a girlfriend?, etc). As far as the mockery and comedy, it is just uneqivocably tasteless.

I don't equate religion with pissing on your neighbor's lawn or cheating on your girlfriend o_O ...........

You shouldn't have to defend yourself.

telling someone your "Christian" has no bearing on your morality. You should realize that, as a functioning member of society, there are a ridiculously high percentage of immoral Christians (they make up a disproportianately higher percentage of the prison population compared to atheists and Jews, for example). Furthermore, you should realize by stating what you did in an online forum you're equating Christianity with morality, and implying the converse (non-Christian, non-moral). That's why you're getting made fun of. Just say you're a "good person".

Well I am a practicing Christian. Mentioning the values I have should indicate I am not a "Sunday Christian". I do not beleive that I implied anyone was lesser if they were not a Christian. What I have noticed is that some people are itching make a remote connection to an extremist (i.e."all gays go to hell") to justify the posts we have all seen. I have no doubt at all that virtous people come in all shapes, sizes, denominations, and cultures. I'm a good person, but I will not be apologetic for communicating the reasons why I am a good person. Thank you for that response, it was a vaild point to consider when analyzing where this thread went wrong.

So, you're just a good person for being Christian? Not because you find lost kittens, help old ladies cross the street, etc.? That's a lame ****ing excuse!!!! :D

I don't know you expected anything different. GAF is gay, black, liberal and anti-religion.
 
And you think stating that you're Christian automatically wipes your slate clean?

Who's got a bigger problem? o_O

I never claimed to be perfect, but I am claiming that I did not do anything to justify the vandalism I endured. Yes, I am a Christian and I will never apologize for it. The only "problem" I have is with people who are obsessed with being argumentative and constructing this stereotypical image of the Christian believer and casting me in the role.

I am who I am based on several influences just like all of you. My family, education, friends, life experience, and yes...religion too. To make a long story not quite as long, the answer to your question is yes in my case.:)

Yet Christianity is at the top of your list, for without that none of these things would be true?





Huh?

My faith influences everything I do including relating to family, friends, experiencing life, and working hard to do well enough in school to land me in my promising career. My faith gives me balance and perspective I can potentially use to enrich the lives of people I meet in life. At the end of your journey in life, I sincerely beleive the only thing that matters is your faith and your works. I am not asking everyone to agree, but I do ask that we keep the discussion respectful.

QFT.

Shawnwhann, your language use seems educated, try looking up "binary oppositions" in regards to social and cultural aspects.

**** it, i'll do it for you.

Binary Oppositions
Critics often site the contradictions inherent in social structures via Binary Oppositions. A binary opposition is a self-supporting relationship, expressed logically. For example, the terms ‘good-bad’ signify a binary opposition for concepts we usually assign to positive and negative characteristics. We know when something is good in terms of it not being bad, and vice versa.
Socially, binary oppositions are important in determining privilege. Moon furthers this distinction by suggesting:

"Binary oppositions are words and concepts that a community of people generally regard as being ‘opposed’ to each other. Oppositional thinking represents a ‘black and white’ view of the world, a tendency to see everything in terms of simple contradictions. This is not a natural or innocent way of thinking. It has clear consequences for the way power is distributed among groups of people in a society (1999)".

What you say you are, determines what you are not. Those who are not with you, are ultimately placed against you - hence wilco.

Now, continue with the jesus pictures.
