I thought I made a simple request

why would it provoke you??

I'm Really Tired Of People Comparing Faith In God To Santa Claus
That's really insulting to me and I imagine to people of faith.

I guess I should find it funny and go along with it?


No, I don't think I will.

I think that offending fellow DU'ers (who don't strive to offend those who are atheist or agnostic) is something that ought to be rethought.

So you came to your conclusions, I have come to mine.

My experiences are different.

I am a liberal. I vote as a Democrat. (Except in a primary once when I wanted Tim Hutchinson to get beat by a guy that had 16 kids who would be even easier to beat. Mark Pryor won anyhow despite the fact that he faced Tim Hutchinson)

I like DU. I just hate these comments that get thrown in, for what purpose? To attack the "fundies"? I'm not a fundie. I'm not a creationist. I believe in evolution. I believe in God. I don't feel homosexuality is a sin. I don't oppose two people who love each other from marrying. I don't believe that all who don't believe in Jesus are going to hell or anything like that. Heck, I'm not even sure I believe that the Jesus story is anything but an embellishment on the facts of the person of Jesus. (I know there will be someone who will say he didn't exist)

Just don't compare my faith to something like Santa Claus, or that I'm somehow stupid. I came to my faith honestly. I found it at the bottom of a short lived career of drinking too much. From there it has waxed and waned, and found its way to its current form.

Peace DU'ers

Really provoking?

I thought it was a reasonable request and I think that the people who love to jump on made this a flamefest
