how in heaven the lion will lie with the lamb, etc. I remember looking
around at the other kids and thinking wow, they believe these

better just be quiet.

They do routinely come to my front door ignoring the no soliciting sign

avoid
an eternity of suffering, join their church, and donate to their cause.
Perhaps they mean well but I think they're full of **** and
annoying.
I've never had a Muslim, Jew, or atheist solicit like that.

Maybe if I stop being polite to them they'd leave me alone.

My sister's daughter went on a weekend trip with a Baptist church group.
When they got her away from home, where she was a vulnerable 10 year
old, they tried to brainwash her into being "born again". She's smart
and takes such things seriously, she wouldn't do it, saying that she had
to talk to her mom and dad about it. That scared her and she's not
stepped foot in a church since.

If your sister was more than a dunce, she would not have allowed your
niece to go with a church
group. What the hell did she expect?


And "brainwashing", really? That's pretty hysterical, but of course it's
what we expect with a made up story:)


What do you think happens when the religious crazies get their hands on
possible acolytes? The pressure they exert when they have people in
their clutches is enormous. Your problem, aside from your pigheadedness
and general ignorance, is that you think (ha!) that experiences you
haven't had couldn't have possibly happened to others.

When does your daughter leave for military boot camp?

Can you imagine a 10 year old kid, 100's of miles from home being
pressured to be born again? I don't care what the so-called better than
everyone else CINO's here say, that is awful to subject a kid to that.
Tim has it right. It's bad.

I'm sure one of y'all said something about Christians 'forcing' their beliefs on you. I've had many
interactions with Christians, but have never been 'forced' to believe any certain way. Not sure
which of you got 'forced', 'cause y'all sound so much alike anyway.

I've also had various folk come to my door with religious intent of one sort or the other. I don't
listen as long as you apparently do, so I don't know about their trying to convince me of all those
things you mention. I've found a polite, "Not interested, thanks," along with shutting the door
solves the problem.

Maybe, thumper, you're right. Open the door with a .45 in your hand, say, "Get the **** off my
porch," and slam the door in their face. After all, you do have the sign, right?

It's nice, also, that you were so much smarter than all the kids in your Sunday school class. You
should simply have told your parents that you didn't believe all the **** they believed. Then you
could have grown up and been even more like ESAD!

John, I seldom agree with you but have always given you the benefit of
the doubt and tried to speak at least civilly if not with actual earned
respect, as I might to a door-to-door solicitor. I've even tried to
help you a time or two. That's over... ***** you*, really!

You're well aware I didn't say they were wrong and I was right. I said
it didn't make sense to me so I was quiet about it. You know, listen
and perhaps learn something.

And don't make presumptions about my parents, again you're simply
wrong... arrogant and wrong.

You know how those holier than thou compassionate Christians are, if you
don't believe exactly what they do you are a bad person, going to hell,
etc.

She wanted to go, and a decent parent sometimes lets the reins out a
little. As far as calling my sister an idiot, you must be a real big
cowardly asshole. Hide behind usenet, call someone an idiot that isn't
even part of the group. Are you sure you aren't one of those
"compassionate Christians" too?

**** you, you condescending piece of ****. My sister is FAR brighter
than you, your ugly wife or your emaciated grandkids. Are you saying
that Christians can't be trusted with kids?



Mrs. John Herring is a very nice and gracious lady. There's no reason to
go after her. You're way over the line.

Oh, but it's okay for the compassionate Christian asshole Herring to go
after my sister??



Are you saying that you can't control your behavior here because of his?
That's childish. Once again, Mrs. Herring is a nice lady. John Herring
is an asshole. There's no excuse for insulting his wife.

As for your sister, she has enough of a burden with a ****head like you
for a brother.

Exactly, as she had in the past. But, just remember, it takes quite a
coward to sit behind usenet, armchair quarterback and cast blame other
than where it should be cast, with the people of the church that
pressured the hell out of a 10 year old girl away from home.

I've been wrong before!

I *assumed* your parents put you in the Sunday school class for a reason pertaining to religion. I
must have been mistaken, unless I presumed correctly. If the latter is correct, then I don't
understand what ****ed you off.

Go teach your kid how to smoke, get cancer, keep on smoking, get tattoos
