is religion for living in the world, ignoring the world, or just for dying?

I assure you I'm not supernatural in any way.

 

Which you failed to do. Telling lies to children is one of the most cowardly way to prove a point I can think of.

 

So do you believe not in the POSSIBILITY of the supernatural but in the actual supernatural?

Have you ever been "touched" by the holy ghost?

If not why would you defend it's practice?

 

The message of Armageddon is of life and of a cleansing of the Earth.

The purpose of religion should be to lead us in our relationship with God and show us how to get the most out of our lives without harming others to do so.

No, for I feel it is possible for one to live though Armageddon and continue to life on the this cleansed Earth.

I don’t want to disappear and don’t think I will. I mean, why miss the chance to be an “I told you so”.

 

so you think children should always be told the truth about everything no matter what?

 

Yes.

 

you realize that we are talking about children?

....right?

 

Yes, I believe if a child asks a question they should get an honest answer even if it takes all day to break it down for them.

What I don't think is that a child's head should be filled with lies and nonsense just for the sake of an "easy" answer.

 

Do you read fiction or are strictly non-fiction?

 

I read a great deal of both, and I'm excellent at telling the difference between the two.

But you already knew that.

 

No, I didn't know that but anyway would you read fiction to children and if so at what age?

 

Unfortunately YOU can do whatever you want to children, so if you want to read them a fictional story then lie to them and say it's real you can.

 

I beg your pardon, I ask a question about your beliefs and you go off. What's that all about?

 

My belief is that it is ALWAYS wrong to lie to children (anyone in fact) and you disagree.

 

What in the world are you talking about?

One, I asked you about reading fiction to children and second, where did you get the impression that I disagreed?

You can’t be that bone headed can you?

 

Yawn, are you just trying to tire me out?

Stop quoting me and I'll stop quoting you.

 

Sorry, somehow I got the mistaken impression that you liked to discuss things. I didn't realize that when you run out of your pat answers you have nothing to say.

Have a nice day,
OWB

 

This is what we disagree on right?

 

If you wish you can reread this whole thread, in fact you if you wish you can read every post that I've posted in hip forums and I think will find that I have NEVER said it was okay to lie to children!

 

I apologize OWB, I had you confused with someone else.

My bad.
