You'd think. Then someone comes along like the comment above and says they believe it all to be fact. 

Maybe believe it to be; all facts of life, as its parables are a record of behaviors and how they affected society through analogies and metaphors. Amen

unlike your posts yesterday about the Pilgrims fighting against the Catholics at Lexington in 1776 in order to gain freedom for all religions and ethnicities.

not what i said and you know that. you're purposely distorting what was actually said. 

 

i said they fled Europe from religious persecution from the church. You decided i said something else.

Yes its called hyperbole.  But it isn't that far off from what was said about the Separatists.

Sure, but keep it to yourself, family and close friends. The majority of us don’t want to hear it. Happy Sunday oko! 

I just think it's a poor decision...in most cases. In Wrestling, I think it's probably about as good of an area to be conservative and promote that than anywhere else. The sport absolutely skews to the right towards conservative Christian values. 

So looking at endorsement deals, I get it. 

I've worked in sales and now own a small business and there's absolutely no reason for me to put my name and political or religious views points out there for public consumption. The old Jordan, "Republicans buy sneakers too," comment. I mean... Jordan's opinions reached a billion people, maybe more. Mine reach...like 12, but still, seems like an overall good philosophy.

I'm going with being charitable and thinking that a lot of these statements are satirical.

I don't know... a lot of people are very literal about the Bible.

I have an Uncle who...when I was trying to make sense of this Religion that I'd been taught all my life(I won't say indoctrinated, I would just say it's just what you did, you went to all the Lutheran stuff, it was just...something you had to do). 

But I was asking 'Ok, but you don't really believe someone lived for 3 days inside a Whale, right?" And he said "yup." And then I'd asked, 'ok, how about the part where you can sell your daughter into slavery if they disobey you,' and he started to justify slavery in certain situations ...and I just tapped out. I said I can wrap my head around these having messages and...all that, but if you mean all this is 100% literal, I think that's just too hard for me. 

But...that's what he...and many others believed.

Are you prepared to name a sport that leans to the left?

"Conservative Christian vales" is a euphemism. It refers to a loose collection of specific opinions about "culture"(in a sense so broad that it is basically meaningless) and that have very little to do with theology.

Was this somehow an offensive take? That the Wrestling community tends to be more conservative? LOL..."are you prepared to name a sport..." like asking if I'm ready to go sacrifice myself! I mean, I really wasn't, but... sure, Basketball. The NBA and the WNBA. You think they're right leaning or left leaning?

These offseason forum arguments are getting strange.

No kidding. I jumped in at the end and now I'm working my way back and...it's hilarious. I'm pretty sure it's unintentionally hilarious, but I don't know what's going on.

Any time I watch Nascar, all I see them doing is leaning to the left

It being the "number one published book of all time" doesnt make it non fiction. Harry Potter sold a lot of copies. Is that non fiction now too?

You rang the bell and the dogs started barking.  It's almost like that is a thing.

It's incredible how lost Jesus must be if so many people find him. Sounds like he's pretty bad at hiding. 

Blind squirrel analogy is the correct one here.  The acorn is not lost nor hiding when it is found by the sight challenged rodent.

But your take does make for quite a funny mental picture.
