Really, my statement could have just as well been that I wish people in general would just do what they say they will do. My real gripe is when someone believes they are better than "all those damn heathens" because of their "Christian Morals" (insert X religion here). Associating good behavior to someone's faith (to me) is complete bullshit and doesn't really mean anything at all. People are people. Assholes are assholes. Criminals are criminals. Belonging to a particular faith means nothing. Every time I hear someone saying "that's not the Christian thing to do", they might as well be saying "that's not the left handed siberian potato farmer thing to do" because it doesn't mean anything at all. People trying to claim they are better then others because of their religion, which is extraordinarily common among many religions just rubs me the entirely wrong way. Especially when some of the people who make this claim and then turn around behave in the worst way imaginable. Maybe the misbehavers are the same percentage of people as the general population, but then - why even make the claim? It's bullshit. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:359496 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
