Re: Hello From An Unrepentant Unitarian

What in tarnation are you talking about? We're just simple God-fearing Baptist folk who believe the Bible in its ENTIRETY. We're not ashamed of the parts that make Episcopalians nervous to talk about.

This is all too typical of these false-church ministers, Brother ...

Take it from one who knows and is sorry for it ...

Last year I tried out E-piss-co-palianism, and it was a dead end to Jesus ...

Got a sound rebuking from my son-in-law, the little boys were ashamed of me, and I almost got disowned and thrown out of the house for it ...

In the Lord Jesus, Sister Noddy

Re: Hello From An Unrepentant Unitarian

Friend, the only things that we True Christians hate more than a Godless liberal communist beatnik Demoncrat are Satan and cultural-religious satire.

Deep down, perhaps I have no more taste for cultural-religious satire than you do. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that your hatreds are so well organized. There's nothing quite so dispriting as not knowing whom you hate the most.

...since the Bible says that the Bible is true and also says that it's the word of God, then we *know* for a FACT that it's the true word of God because it says so right in the Bible!... Now, try twisting THAT

You've got me there, I don't see any way to twist that more than you have. But how can I reject any non-Biblical theology out of hand when 1 Corinthians 13 instructs us that without charity, we are nothing, and that charity:

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things?

Re: Hello From An Unrepentant Unitarian

For someone who claims to be devoted to openness and respect for all religions, you sure seem to go out of your way to criticize and denegrate ours.

Take that Unitarian logo you use as an avatar, for example. It is clearly a bastardization of the cross. You claim to be a Christian, yet you willingly follow a banner that minimizes the suffering of Jesus and the cleansing effect of His holy blood? Not to mention that the whole candlestick and circle thing is pretty obviously a sexualization of Christian symbology (I won't even ask what having two holes right next to each other stand for--I think it's more than just Unitarians and Universalists, though).

I'm not really here to convert you. I'm happy to discuss the Word, but if you don't accept Jesus as your savior, exactly as described in the Bible, well, it's your afterlife, not mine, and you're entitled to your beliefs, however goofy and mushy they might be, as long as you don't try to impose them on me and the rest of America. But I think you ought at least to show a little reverence for our religious tradition. How would you feel if I went into a Unitarian forum and modified your symbol to look like this?

Because that's exactly what your modified cross symbol means to me.
