No they don't Merry...little children are sent to Kindergarden so they can learn how to play fair and share (square)...

Right, it isn't necessary to have a religion in your life. Now why do you suppose that ronnie (wabi comes to mind) was asked so many times to explain his 'works'? Or why would anyone here be hounded to do that?

My sister is Catholic. She answered one of my 'out-loud blurbs' by saying, "Hey, don't knock guilt as a motivator," and then, "the Catholic religion is big on it." lol it was funny to me...and she was being light-humored, but she also meant it.

I hope not! LOL I knew all of that before I went to kindergarten, most children raised with other children already know it too. We teach each other.

My middle sister was always for the underdog - any child who was ostracized for whatever reason became her friend. She has always had a very kind heart.

Come on. You aren't that thick. Wabi and Ronnie were/are questioned because they are not disabled (putting aside mental deficiencies). So many have come here under false pretenses creating this suspicion.

Maybe they come here because we are all such interesting people, Shakey. Maybe our illnesses and disabilities and living with them make us more observant in some areas than those can dance and whistle through life unbeseiged by anything. Just a thought.

I remember Wab being hounded about what he did for a living, but not about good works.

Who's hounding Ronnie? I never mentioned his name or anybody else's in that thread about "works".

The only time I ever come back at him is when he posts stuff demeaning the beliefs of others. He and everyone else can believe whatever works for them - just stop trying to convert the rest of us. See to YOUR OWN salvation however you like and let others do the same.

Why is that so bloody difficult to understand?

*sigh* I suppose being gifted with the powers of observation is the curse I live with.

And you are blind to much at the same time.

Not as blind as the unsaved who walk in total spiritual darkness as relates to the saving power of the only begotten Son of God, Shakey.

ahh go begot yourself...lol I see him/them. I just don't buy him/them as God. If anyone here is in darkness, it is those who deny facts and buy dogma. Ever consider the light you claim comes from your spirituality is remarkably similar to light so many schizophrenics claim to see? Not saying you are delusional, but denying reality for some magical thinking sure sounds delusional.

Eternity is reality we are but a shadow of reality and not permanent except for Jesus Christ who makes us eternal in His kingdom. The unsaved walks along an unknown broadway to darkness by the millions who have no hope other than this insignificant life period. The only time we can make an eternal choice.
Paul
