I get questioned all the time about my faith...but hal you swear, but hal you smoke dope, but hal you don't seem the type...
I only know this. The faith I follow is steeped in science and common sense. It also preaches tolerance and trying to improve what you perceive to be weaknesses within yourself.
Am I a better person than I was 12 years ago because of this. Yes.
Am I trying to achieve perfection? No, I leave that for my higher power.
I don't pick and choose what I like from Christian doctrines..I commit to helping people and chastise myself for my shortcomings. Example - I don't turn the other cheek very well. If someone angers me or hurts me, I tell them and if they don't respond in what I think is a fitting way, I hurt them back
Sorry Muddster for the rant but you mentioned a very key part of what I consider true Christianity. It is of free will and no one ' forces it down people's throats '. I hate hearing that. If someone is asking you if you've heard the word of Christ, that's hardly forcing it down your throat. You're perfectly capable of saying - No and I don't want to.....
If the person persists or won't leave you alone, they're probably Westboro Baptists and you then have the option of punching them in the throat.
Every Christian I've met (and I've met a buttload...), have never harassed a stranger on the street or randomly showed up at their home. True Homies don't play that shit. Like my minister says - All are welcome in this house, any denomination or belief. We will not impose our will in someone else's house.
fuckshitpiss...end/rant

unfortunately my thoughts are sometimes 54 paragraphs long and the apology was to you...because you have the attention span of a gnat when faced with a wall of words
nice quote work btw
I should have worked the punctuation differently Mudd

You are the sons of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave your forehead for the sake of the dead.
I am the left hand of God and through His will, I will kick your everloving pansy ass from here to fucking Kingdom Come
welcome to the church of hal, where I shall smite the sins out of your corporal body and in the very least, most of your teeth if you piss me off
Imma be an awesome pastor
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee!
preach it to the rafters brother Lance!
Say what again mutha fucka
