I shot a lot of midrange and some lr stuff over the years.

I never used a chrono other than initially to get a feeling of where I was at.

Then I just did what the load told me.

But your point is going by what I see, not what someone tells me.

I"ve seen more than enough to be comfortable in my beliefs.

I'm sorry that you have not. But in the end, even though my job is to spread the word, I will discuss this with folks that have an open mind. Those that have closed minds so to speak, have to fend for themselves.

I've often said, the tenants of "Christianity" basically teach good things, to repent and be sorry and to believe. To be a better person.

You really can't go wrong with taht even if the belief in the end was in nothing.

Beats the hell out of folks that think they die, have no responsibility and could care less what good they do for earth and others along the way.

Worse yet those that believe that you and I should be dead since we dont' believe the other name...


Rost,

As I've said before, I do not consider all religions, or all Christians equal. What matters is how people choose to permit their religion/philosophy to inform their actions. I enjoy the debate with you, but like Scot, your really "not the Christian I'm looking for". Your Christianity seem to have minimal negative effects on your understanding of THIS reality. In addition, you do not seem to place so much emphasis on the next life that you neglect this one, nor the other people in it. Overall, you don't appear to be on the eye raising side of the equation.

I don't like folks that stir the pot just to stir either, although thats not exactly what you are doing either totally.

FWIW I do believe in the next life and its very important to me in many ways.

But I also realize that I may have some names wrong and some things not exactly like I've heard or read... but I still believe in being good and being rewarded and being able to make this run again but in a perfect life next time.

Eye raising doesn't accomplish nearly as much as quiet conversations... IMHO...

The ministers that pound the pulpit and preach hell fire and brimstone.... I don't listen to them a second time.... but I damn sure now am totally clear there is hellfire and brimstone.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
