Why is it that each time I write something about my being a Christian or about the religious faith, readers become suddenly wild.
The last article I wrote before Christmas break generated so many comments from the not-so-religious readers and from those who defend the Christian faith. Why does it have to be like this?
Read the article here. Then read the comments below:

The year and birth date of Jesus are unknown - political fabrications at best.
So, what is there left for you to "contemplate" ...how politics created this religion?
What's all this fuss about prayer? Statistically, prayer is no more effective than a good hug or a cold beer. You can believe what you want to believe, but believing in something does not make it it real, nor does it make it true. Take god for example.

Or you could just shut your pie hole. Instead, you post to crap on the writer's story. Congrats, you're an a-hole!

Seasons greetings yourself, Blorch
How clever you are to refer to mouth/anus in the same message. Call be sane if you must, but I'd rather be factual than delusional

there's really no point of making argumentative statements. it's the writers belief, so what the hell do you care.. just give a litle bit of respect and instead just spare him your two cents in his competence of producing good literary works, per se. Happy new year to you eric! write more. i'm at your back!

Those who do not see this as an inspiring article --- shut up!

Dear Bisdak,
Thank you for your enlightened comment and for showing us the true face of religion. Instead of understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness... you give us a "Shut Up". Its the same old predictable story... only those "of the faith" have a right to speak, and all others must shut up.
tsk tsk tsk, what would jesus say about this bigotry and arrogance?
Reformed Christian Missionary message to Blisdak and Blorch
posted 1/20/08 @ 3:25 PM CST
Blisdak and Blorch, I used to be just like you. Then I took 1st Cor 13:11 to heart... "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things..."
Lets do what...

Luke 19:27 has an interesting suggestion that provides guidance for what to do with the likes of Saturnalicus
If he wants to be our enemy, so be it...
Its Go Time for Saturnalicus...

And thank you for showing us the true face of "sanity." Instead of just leaving well enough alone, you just HAD to come crap on the author's positive article. Congrats, you're an a-hole!

Dear Sweet Blorch,
Is that puerile answer the best response you have: profanity and name calling?
Is your faith so frail that you must exhibit a knee-jerk reaction to criticism of what you see as positive and others see as guilt-mongering?
What next Skeeter? Spit-wads? or are you going to damn me to hell?

The fact remains that you offer nothing. If this were an article on "free thinking" and someone posted a Christian viewpoint you and your ilk would be jumping all over it. Again, the author posted a positive, uplifting message and you come crap on it. You could have simply ignored it. You didn't, which says everything about your character anyone would ever need to know.

Somebody with open-minded skepticism asks critical questions, questions that need to be raised in a secular nation and the christian-taliban have nothing more intelligent to say than SHUT UP, CRITIC!
Welcome to Iran? Free thinking on religion must be banned! Let's ammend the constitution to formalize! We need an 11th Commandment!
Oh Blorch...
posted 1/20/08 @ 10:39 PM CST
Blorch, you offer what? A closed and small mind? As Confuscius said, "The worst form of poverty is not to live in a small house but in a small mind." Blorch, you are destitute

Wassup Blorch? No more witty comebacks?
Can't take honest criticism?

Blorch,
Again, crude comments regarding your 'character'/apparent obsession with the anus and fecal matter? TMI, get some help.
You are welcome to remain a fec-o-phile in the land of make-believe and to remain a staunch defender of 'uplifting messages' and praying to Mr. Make-believe. In the meantime, I can be found at the library trying to wrestle with reality.

Saturn,
Thank you for not stooping to the level of Blorch. He is probably one of the twits who sits on the back row of Ro D and draws crude pictures of pee pees to make his friends giggle. Five years from now he will be still blaming his professors for being so unfair to him that he couldn't graduate as he works at the meat packing plant.
Another home grown genius no doubt...

Hello, we are the houseparents of the group home where "Blorch" has been living for the past 19 months. We cannot go into any more detail without violating confidentiality. We apologize to those who were offended by his childish antics. He is now under closer supervision and we will not let him act out on this or any other websites.
Thank you for understanding and again, we offer a belated apology for the acting out by "Blorch."

There seems to be a commotion happening in here that i am not aware of. Blorch and Saturnalicius you both are creators of issues. You created a big bang for this article which would have been only a simple religious overview.

Dearest Venus.
The only commotion+issue here is that Salas offered prayer (a muslim prayer would not have been permitted on these 'white pages').
The great hypocrisy of prayer and religion in general is that 'thanks' are cheerfully and optimistically being given for 'good things', but never for bad things, which are dealt out with equal frequency and facility by Mr. Make-believe. Why not thank the big guy for diarrhea and zits and a misshapen nose - Why is it that sports heros only thank the big-guy when they win, and not when they loose?
Why pray at all and give thanks for only that which is good. It's hypocritical.
No one is out there listening.

New comments are still coming. I do not know when this will end.
