I have to agree with what Vundy stated in that Christians should just let others live. It reminds me of a skit that Jim Gaffigan said during one of his comedy shows..."a co-worker said to me, I would like to talk to you about Jesus.....Yeah, I'd rather you not".

As I stated in an earlier post, IMO the judgemental Christians that Vundy has eluded to are the reason people frown upon the Christian religion. Let me give an example of this....

For 3 years a youth and myself have met at the Hooters in Richmond right before he goes off to College. I think highly of him and want him to succeed. In trying to make arrangements for this year, I responded to a Facebook post of his mentioning Hooters. The first reponse I recieved was not from him but the Youth Minister at his church. He stated "you can find other places that serve food instead of going to a place full of crap". I responded that I enjoyed going there and mentioned my tradition with the youth. He proceded to say how deviant going to Hooters was, that only sinful people go there, etc.... Now granted, he has never been to Hooters before so he has no clue how that place operates.

Beyond that, why does he even care? He is not going and I didn't ask him to go. Actually, I don't even know him.

You know, I was a Christian once, not anymore though, if that means I won't be able to walk on golden streets, thats ok, that is MY choice. Remember, as stated, God gave us all the freedom to choose so how about letting people do that and worry about yourself.

I have no problem with someone explaining their religous beliefs only as long as someone has asked to know more about it.

In regards to the Muslim faith, there are extremists in that religion just as there are extremists that claim the Christian faith.

I mean no offense to anyone in this thread and I apologize if I at all sounded out of line. Just wanted to share my thoughts.
