"Rat fink"? There's a nostalgic phrase... Don Addis must be as old as you. Maybe I didn't miss it I just forgot.

You are making an assumption, what if there is no god? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ? God or no God, the outcome is the same. I just prefer to think there is an intelligence who takes offense at the arrogance of mankind.

Aztecs fans HATE BYU, the above was created by a loyal SDSU grad.
It's a spoof if you didn't already know.

I'm not very religious, but I think this is one of the most tasteless and tacky things you've ever posted. I could be wrong. edit: remove image

I’m a member of the board like everyone else and apologize to the group for my lack of sensitivity. I can always count on Jack calling it like it is and keeping me in line.

As an atheist I find Obama’s assault on the Catholic rch appalling. Obama is attacking religious liberty for him to do this in an election year makes zero sense. I’m at a loss but have to question the man’s sanity.

I have two feelings on this issue:
1. If this is what sinks the Obama Presidency, so be it. He has no one to blame but himself for giving the GOP this issue. Is this one small aspect of Obamacare THAT important to him?
2. I have no sympathy for the Catholic rch, which was silent when Bush decided to make bloody war on Iraq, but is hysterical because Obama might make them give their employees the pill for free.

One more step towards Socialism, calling religion a cult! I also heard the word cult on the news today discussing the Biblical religions. Earliest Evidence of Biblical Cult DiscoveredFor the first time, archaeologists have uncovered shrines from the time of the early Biblical kings in the Holy Land, providing the earliest evidence of a cult, they say. <clip> news.yahoo.com/earliest-evidence-biblical-cult-discovered-140333875.html

www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/12/20/national/history/christian-missionaries-find-japan-tough-nut-crack/#.VJYbccCAA"Missionaries today use different language but express similar frustration. The Japanese have so eagerly embraced everything Western — from fads to philosophies, baseball to scientific method. Why not Christianity? Even China, officially atheist and repressive of anything outside state control, counts 52 million Christians. In South Korea, 30 percent of a population of 50 million professes Christianity. In Japan? Less than 1 percent. One explanation comes from Minoru Okuyama, director, as of 2010, of the Missionary Training Center in Japan. That year, he told a global missions conference, “Japanese make much of human relationships more than the truth. Consequently we can say that as for Japanese, one of the most important things is harmony; in Japanese, ‘Wa.’” The Japanese, said Okuyama, “are afraid of disturbing human relationships of their families or neighborhood even though they know Christianity is best.” Chinese and South Koreans, by contrast, “make more of truth or principle than human relationships.” A shrewd and outspoken samurai character in Shusaku Endo’s historical novel “Samurai” (1980) put a similar thought much more bluntly. His sullen response to a Spanish missionary’s evangelizing, circa 1610, was, “ The Japanese don’t care whether God exists or not.” Sounds like the Japanese are on to something. Maybe the folks in the Middle East should take heed.

Ya know, the Bible itself says "by their fruits you shall know them", and if Christmas is the fruit of Christianity, then it is one messed up religion.
