No I don't have a personal god..I was talking about the community coming together and supporting each other during tough times

I'll bet he can be lured away with promises of Whopner and Life Goes On reruns. And Skittles.

I don't know, those just seem like things he'd have a deep rooted connection to.

lack of religion did not create a vacuum for islam. they were coming either way. the globalist were going to make sure they immigrate to all areas of the world.

Atheism is a vacuum. It doesn't replace anything. Even many who identify as atheist practice some sort of spiritualism.

I actually like roust quite a bit. I'm sure the sentiment isn't mutual, but he's a smart guy. I just like to give him hell because he tends to suffer from the same blind spots that those who argue with him suffer from.

I don't know if it will be a minority but it will definitely "evolve" and change with the times.

For example, in 50 years the gay marriage/homosexuality issue will be a compelte non-issue for the majority of the Christian denominations and those who still oppose will be the minority.

It's a non-issue for the majority of Christians today, and those opposing it are already in the minority, so I'd say your prediction is pretty safe.

But... this does highlight an issue that exists, and is often presented in these threads, which is that non-believers have formed their own opinions of Christians which often times are not supported by actual facts.

It's unfortunate then that the majority remains silent as the vocal minority continues to define the entire group narrative.

Are we still discussing Christianity or are you talking about Black Lives Matter? Point being... there is a vocal minority in pretty much any large "group" that exists.

Does that make the majority any less culpable?

Most Muslims are peaceful, yet they remain largely silent and they're subsequently defined as accomplices by their inaction. Fundamentally, if one is going to hold one majority responsible for their silence, why not all?

Because mature individuals eschewed 'I know you are but what am I?' A long time ago

Cracker barrel bro. If your ladybird doesnt kno2 how to make em...the barrel will work in a pinch. Old timers breakfast ftw. Tater casserole is the jam. My wife is the best cook in either of our families so i am spoiled.she made a pot of beans yesterday that only grannies know how to make, then. Made me a pan of pnut butter brownies just for extra credit.
