And what/who is Junior Asparagus? I think I must've slept through that part of Sunday School! lol ;)

Well said.:)

My philosophy is just people believe as they choose and leave them alone about it. No one really knows anyway....not until you die.

Thanks for putting down my thoughts exactly Tonya! I would also add that I don't really care for the log-on name Jesus Freak. I think that today the casualness with which people address God/Jesus is not right. When you start to comprehend the holiness of God it seems it is much more fitting to address Him with more respect. I am sorry that Christians fall into this trap. You don't see anyone calling themselves an Allah Freak or a Budda (sp?) Freak. I think we Christians could take a lesson here. Just my humble opinion... By the way, are you posting under more than one name? I could be wrong but it just seems that way, although I haven't read that many posts.

Zippy-Kat: I very very much liked how you phrased what you said. Well put. As someone who (obviously, from my earlier postings) has never liked being preached to, witnessed to, or otherwise challenged like that regarding my beliefs, I also appreciate what you said. Thanks.

I spent the better part of my adult life teaching middle school/ high school and can understand the enthusiasm and passion with which young folks speak. But I think they do need to hear that it isn't always welcome.

I used to be Christian... then took a turn for Satanism and before I got too into that, blindly and dumb, I moved onto Wiccan, to Athiest, to I have no clue.

Funny thread, thanks for the entertainment, everyone! :D :p

lol, Junior Asparagus is the little talking asparagus dude off of the childrens' show Veggie Tales. Here's a mugshot

Ok...Normally I stay out of relegious convo's but this one different...Its funny, insulting, strange, and stupid and a few other things....

I belive we are creations of our surroundings for the most part (not all of us), what I mean by this is....
Most of us when we grew up we belived in the same things our parents did. We wernt open to other things because we prolly never fully experianced things. For example...If my mom was an artist I prolly would like to be one as well up until the age that I go to school then I see more options but am still firmly based on being and artist.

On pettalk we have many different beliefs and for the most part we stear clear of them. We are not here to convert other to our beliefs. We are here to talk about our pets and whats going on in our busy and amazing lifes. Many times I have come to the Pettalk Family Community to share my problems, happiness, joy and humor, wether it is pet realated or not.

I think if she wants to preach, she's not knowing the right way. No one will listen if someone just comes and talks in that way, because it will only make them run away more.

Also, why so many Christians leave Christianity? :confused: Only curious to know...

Christians leave Christianity just as others leave Judiasm, Islam and Buddhism. It just happens.

Um....we have to read (and expect to believe) quotes from a cartoon asparagus!!????!!???
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! TOO FUNNY!
OI! I needed that laugh! It's dreery and depressing out right now in WI...the laugh helped a lot. Thanks!!

I have to concur with the Zipster. If you are as Christian and a Jesus Freak as you say you are, You wouldn't be as rude as what you are. You made a snide comment to me earlier about listening to the children or whatever, but you know what the Bible also says "RESPECT YOUR ELDERS" how do you like THOSE apples?

Your approach, is what turns people off. And that gives the rest of us Christians a bad name.
And I have to agree with Soledad. Christianity is such a large religion THAT is why it seems people leave it.

asperagoose's with mug shots? Now I really am confused:confused: - and I thought religion was confusing :eek: - and I always thought the Almighty was DOG, and that most people just got the name spelled backwards - oh well :rolleyes:

:D

I keep pushing the religion of doG, but not many are buying it :)

Don't need to "buy" it, it's free for the taking - just for the love of doG as any doG will gladly give out FREE LOVE. And kisses. And warmth, and ask nothing in return but a smile and soft voice.. well, maybe a milky bone now and again :D

Ok, Miz Laurie and Miz Amy.... you gotta tell me how the religion of doG is better than the religion of caT. With the caT, you get to do allll those things (minus the milk bone, substitute a kitty treat) PLUS ignore them. You answer to you, and only when you want to. Didja goof up? No problem! Sit in the middle of the livin' room floor and clean yourself -- it helps if you act like, "I meant to do that."

Plus, in the religion of caT you don't have to hump anyone's leg. ;)
