Woody Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Stan ... I've seen more morphing going on recently in the politics section. As Aldona would say ... there have been 'many tics' and blood suckers there recently. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

As Aldona would say ... there have been 'many tics' and blood suckers there recently. ....and I would add that the 'suckers' that have been there, have grown to be more vocal...

Members phkrause Posted February 28, 2009 Members Posted February 28, 2009 Stan I would phrased that question a little different. Like what makes people more hostile, Politics or Religion? I chose #1 anyway. pk Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13

Members phkrause Posted February 28, 2009 Members Posted February 28, 2009 Yes I understand that Stan. I just don't see people that like politics as weird, like in religion. I think in politics you find hostility. And there is hostility in religion also. pk Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
GreatLakesGramma Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Stan I would phrased that question a little different. Like what makes people more hostile, Politics or Religion? I chose #1 anyway. pk You are thinking of something entirely different. It isn't about discussing things, or how people are toward other people. Think Hare Krishna.

Members phkrause Posted February 28, 2009 Members Posted February 28, 2009 I think you are right! The more than I have been thinking about it, I should have picked #2 because religion can make people weird, were as politics just makes people hostile to each other. Thanks for your thoughts GLG. pk Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
Woody Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Originally Posted By: Redwood Quote: Think Hare Krishna. IS that Christian? Are you serious? You said to 'think Hare Krishna'. Personally ... I don't think that is a Christian thing to do. That is why I asked. But I agree that some are doing that. They seem to chant they mantra over and over again in hopes that people will join them. Ha Ha. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

ChildofChrist Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Anything that we don't understand nor endorse seems to end up on the 'Weird' list IMO. I guess that is why I enjoy learning about other lifestyles and beliefs. Sometimes if we know that stuff, then understanding may dawn on us. Ya think? Quote Wakan Tanka Kici Un ~~Child of Christ~~
Members phkrause Posted February 28, 2009 Members Posted February 28, 2009 I have to agree with you on that, especially Religion. pk Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
aldona Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 In response to the original question (re: what makes folks weirder - politics or religion); Just my humble observation - any attempt to mix together religion with politics takes "weird" to a whole new level. i.e. creates a hybrid "monster". aldona Quote www.asrc.org.au (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Melbourne)Helping over 2000 refugees & asylum seekers each monthIMSLP/Petrucci Music LibraryThe Public Domain Music Score Library - Free Sheet Music DownloadsLooking for classical sheet music?

GreatLakesGramma Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Good point, Aldona. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S. Lewis
skyblue888 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 when religion influences the state to enforce religion,, that will make people act very weird... Quote "The merits of His sacrifice are sufficient to present to the Father in our behalf." S.C.36.
True-believer Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Quote: Think Hare Krishna. IS that Christian? Think Hare Krishna? Ok, only if you want us to!!! We'll dwell on Hare Krishna all night long... NOT!!! I'd prefer to concentrate on our loving Savior Jesus Christ. Quote Luke 4:19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
True-believer Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 when religion influences the state to enforce religion,, that will make people act very weird... There are many Christian groups involved in politics like: The Christian Democrates And The Family First Party These two were founded from Pentecostal Churches... Family First leader or former leader was Pastor/Rev Andrew Evans, he use to be my pastor when I was going to that Pentecostal Church all those years ago. Quote Luke 4:19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
True-believer Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 To answer the question about which one is more hostile: Religion or Politics? Politics is because it comes from two words: Poly--which means "Many" and Ticks--which means "Blood Sucking." I would hate to be in Politics... Also Religion is because you have the Muslim faith declaring a Holy War against us Christians. Muslims are after to kill all Jews and Christians to get a greater place in heaven. Just read their Koran--I downloaded there holy book on my laptop. LOL!!! Quote Luke 4:19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
