After reading so many posts in this thread by people who claim to be a Christian, it is not hard at all for me to believe the OP's account of what happened to his wife.

And i know that you don't know. Besides, why not just wait a few years and find out. (i know) next, you tell me about the big, bad, hell place, that is another invention of peoples's minds. It is all a nice story that builds big cathedrals and drives wedges between people and has caused countless wars, death, and destruction. All for a nice imagined story. The glory of the story - one that can not be proved- oh isn't that convenient? I have just wasted my time typing - everyone happy?

here's what i know. The universe is a gift we live within. Man did not create the air you breathe nor the gravitational forces that hold the universe and all that is in it together. Man also did not create the matter that came into existence at the point of creation. So bearing this in mind i give thanks to our creator every day.

If you are proud of your beliefs and want people to have mo misunderstanding of where you stand then a bumper sticker is a good way to express those beliefs!

Yes, I think Allah did a wonderful job, didn't he.

. I wanted to call the police she declined and just wants it to stop.

So, you were there and she stopped you? Hmmmm!

Science and religion are in conflict. Choose one! Science still doesn't have all the answers but it is the
best method of discovering the truth we know!

She came home from Publix and told him what happened. I 100% believe it happened.

If you were any good at living your beliefs, you wouldn't need to use a bumpersticker to clear up any misunderstanding.

Mostly though, no one really gives a flying farkle which religion you've chosen to cling to, until and unless you shove it into someone else's face. Your bumper sticker is just another way of ensuring that you lower the resale and trade-in value on your car.

And that is why our founding fathers created the first amendment.

Why don't you review who said what and who responded to what. My post had nothing to do with Blueash, whom I respect immensely.

This post is indicative of changes on this forum

I have come across some of these religious zealots here in the Villages in person and believe this did happen here. It is part of the intolerance of the Fall of 2020 you see in the news from all over the country. And you see it in human behavior in all of written literature as well as in the oral traditions going back thousands of years.

I'm used to it, it's nothing new for me. It never ceases to sadden me to see ignorance but none are so blind as they who refuse to see.

What's just as bad - is when it comes up in just normal casual conversation and I mention that I"m Jewish and all of a sudden everyone says "Ohhh I LOVE Jewish people!" It's sort of a passive-aggressive apologetic condescension. Like I'm supposed to be thankful that they love Jewish people or something. I can't explain it, but if you'd experienced it yourself, you'd totally get what I mean.

Well you won’t see Jesus walking out of Publix so I would be careful what you offensive stickers you put on your cart.

I get your point but I doubt Mrs Blueash intended it to imply god directed evolution.
