Wow, not nice churches you guys have in the USA

Hey Kurt.

Faeries are fine, thanks. The Pots?

Great photo. Is there a Bourbon St in Canada too?

I hope you have been reading your Guide, drinking your Tea and caring for the faeries at the bottom of your garden.

Best,

I still say it's bogus. The scriptures on the signs have nothing to do with the signs. It's like they just put numbers together...

Yes, of course I can imagine them. And, there are far too many examples. They give guys like me a bad name in places like PPOT!

Maybe I am being naive. I just can't imagine how anyone could do, say, believe the things these people say, when it's so obviously against Chrsit's teachings - it goes so much further than wacko. This isn't mis-interpreting, it's going against. It freaks me out. It pisses me off.

And don't get me wrong... I've not exactly lived what any reasonable person would consider a sheltered life.

the picture is funny



The overwhelming #'s of really humanistic individuals who are conservative Christians instills a belief in humanity associated with all sects. I say that as a solo cross country NY'er who no one initially likes. I hang and are accepted by all kinds.

.. don't ask me about hanging with hobos
for 8 days in a Nevada State campground. that's a completely different story.

I Love Jesus...it's his fan club that worries me.

Any text or writing can be misinterpreted for the purposes of the interpreter - the various texts of the OT and NT especially so because of the many ambiguities.

IMO, some of these "wackos" are just as convinced that their version of the religious texts is accurate as you may be convinced that your view is accurate.

On a fundamental level, look at the difference in POV from one who takes the Christian religious texts as literal vs. one who views the stories as allegory.

Of course, I consider you a much more reasonable person in this regard, and not totally wacko, based upon our exchanges here at PPOT.

Cheers!

And nothing legitimises a wacko like god's imprimatur.

Lunatics and religion go together like bickies and cheese.

I'd just like to know what bickies are.

1) Crackers?
2) Little sausage slices?
3) Pickle bits?
