All this bickering is doing me no good so from now on religion is not on my agenda here. Thanks for the civil debates and the other..let them rest in peace.

Normally I don't like to cross-post, but I'm reposting something that I directed to you at PQ in case you didn't see it there:

Quote:
Paulwa, I think it's a good thing for your own well-being for you to take a break from politics and religion and I applaud you for it. IMO it's harming your serenity, and that's what religious faith should ideally instill in a person.

Nobody here dislikes you as a person, but your posts over the last 6 months or so have been full of anger and dire predictions. Those aren't healthy things to dwell on.

If you've made any progress on your gun refinishing or other hobbies I'd love to see a new thread about it.

Just dropped in for a comment. I watched the Catholic tv channel and watched a talk show 'Sunday Night Live' Don't remember the names of the two fellows but one was a very old priest and the other a bit younger who was a priest of the Society of Jesus.The older priest I believe was a Franciscan order. I listen to this channel from time to time but these two men really impressed me with their love of their faith and for people. They were very intelligent and many times put protestant christians to shame with their dedication and depth of knowledge. I am not Catholic and there are many points of that faith that I disagree with (form of worship) but I would sure hate to debate those points with these gentlemen. I came to the conclusion that if these fellows didn't uphold the very essence of the life Jesus presented in their word and deed then I doubt the christianity of any other on this earth. Their love and faith was very inspiring coming from the church so many christians put down because of worship differences. At the individual level of worship they are loving dedicated christians, if these two are representative of the Catholic faith.
