Hey, John Herring, tell us how your military experience has
made you
into a better person and a real Christian, as evidenced by
your posts here.- Hide quoted text -

As usual, you come in uninformed... For instance, you don't
have to be
"good" to be a Christian, you only have to believe. Now go
ahead and
tell me where I am wrong, and while you are at it, tell us
about your
Lobsta' boat!
Oh, there must be more than that to being a Christian, although
if it is
that easy, it certainly explains many of horrors committed by
"good"
Christians.- Hide quoted text -

Yup, as many as by "good" Muslims, or "good" Jews.. Those folks who
commit horrors are only considered "good' by themselves and their
followers.. Unlike "good" liberals from the looney left who are
pretty
much the mainstream, you know, intolerant, selfish, and lacking any
real moral core..

There are lots of rules "good Jews" have to follow in order to be
considered good Jews.

I suspect your understanding of Christianity is suspect. I've had
the privilege of some friendly discussions the last few years
with some nuns and priests in academia, and in addition to
exchanging pleasantries, we do discuss what a "good" Christian
would say or do under various scenarios. Though I am not a
Christian, I agreed completely with the nuns that there are rules
for being a good Christian, and they go way beyond simply
"believing."

I think you are getting Catholics and Protestants confused. They
are not one in the same.

The other day here I mentioned the Sermon on the Mount. Following
those precepts and rules probably is a good start.

Depends upon your Creed.

Well, if Protestants can behave anyway they want in life, so long
as they "believe" Jesus is their saviour, then it is, at best, an
amoral religion.

I understand the Protestants engage in Christianization in Central
and South America. Kinda makes one want to puke.

Your nuns and priests were the first to convert the masses in
Central and South America as well as Asia. Does that make you want
to puke as well?

*My* nuns and priests? I'm not Catholic.

Ok, you anal retentive prig. The nuns and priests in academia you with
which you discussed the subject of a "good" Christian.

The nuns and priests I met with aren't involved in Christianization in
Central and South America.

The orders that the nuns and priests, or their predecessor or affiliate
orders, you met with were interested in converting the masses in Central
and South America as well as Asia.
