TotallyOz Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 OK. I have to ask, can you give me a 20 second clip you want me to see in this? It brings back horrible memories of my childhood to watch him. Quote

Just that, even against some resistance from my inner self, I seem to be regaining some investment in the deeper strains of meaning buried down there within what is popularly termed ‘Christianity.’ Quote

caeron Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I am a Christian only in the sense of Matthew 7:12 " So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." If that is in fact the whole of the law, then I'm good, because the rest of the shit people put around it is crap. (Though much of matthew 7 is pretty good.) Of course, I don't believe in the existence of a magical man in the sky, so I'm pretty sure I'm not much of a Christian. I have a friend who is a catholic who often posts stuff which I read just to remind myself why I want nothing to do with that stuff. For example, Cardinal Sarah explaining how secularism is destroying the world because really it was soo much better when religious bigotry ran the world... AdamSmith 1 Quote
Members RA1 Posted October 10, 2019 Members Posted October 10, 2019 One reason you are favorably inclined towards BG is the fact that he has NC accent/culture going for him. I once made the comment that there are no atheists in fox holes and was soundly jumped on by many and several. Still my personal experience says those who are near and contemplating death are somewhat more receptive of spiritual guidance. I have seen life long atheists and agnostics crumple from same.
