Dumbest thing people can argue about is religion. Politics are a close second.
So, these two highly important topics should not be discussed?
What should, then?
WARNING - Due to the rising costs of ammunition, warning shots will no longer be given.
So, can I tell that to the guys knocking on my door? They disagree with you too.
The key word in my sentence was "argue", not "discuss". Big difference and folks would be wise to learn the difference in regards to both subjects.
I was going to weigh in on this discussion but I changed my mind and deleted my post. Instead I'll quote a very wise man:
"the people who are most anxious to share their religion with you are the most unwilling to have you share your religion with them."
Dave Barry

Talking to people about religion and why they believe what they believe is a subject that will fascinate me till I die... And hopefully after that too!
Arguing about it is dumb. I agree with BS.
I've read so many books about the subject I'm pretty sure I could teach a pretty good class on it. For reals!
If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
If you haven't you need to read the Muscle and the Shovel. Best one I've ever read period .
Baptist is not the name I wear.
Wasn't villified. Was told I'm dumb, and unwise, to discuss my beliefs.
WARNING - Due to the rising costs of ammunition, warning shots will no longer be given.
I guess that explains why you're so vague and or gun-shy ....
I want to know how many times in 97 posts that Bucky was villified for his beliefs. I'm still trying to sort that one out.

It's ALWAYS been zero. I've been accused of it in the past but have never, ever understood where the accusation came from. I think he has a vivid imagination. I'd never think of doing such a thing to ANYONE ... even Bucknut!

By the way, I do not agree that it's dumb to discuss the single most important subject in my life.
And I do not see any difference in arguing, and discussing with those who disagree with me. Same same. It does seem to me that folks get way more bent out of shape on this than I do.
However, I am typing this from hospital er.
And I'll quote the unnamed blonde lady ... the most important statement made so far.
Ma'am, I was raised the same way. Dad was a deacon in the church, my grandfather and 4 of my dad's brother's were preachers ... three had their own churches. BUT ... I grew up and formed my own OPINIONS and nobody can guarantee me they're wrong ... just as I can never guarantee they are right. BTW ... I appreciate the prayers. Are they the reason I'm still alive today? Nobody KNOWS ... I don't ... and you don't either. That does not mean I don't appreciate the thoughts sent my way.This is my OPINON and how I was raised.
