It seems like we sail along with a pretty decent discussion for a while then we hit a pot hole.


Micki answered me with her version of who her god is. She did it eloquently and gave me the chance to see what her beliefs are.

I 'used' to be a catholic until I began to question some of the biblical accounts.....multiplying fish and loaves, Lazarus and the three wise men in a Honda (ACCORD) left me looking at the bible with a very inquisitive eye....


A few tips on arguing a sensitive issue like gay marriage...

1) Remember that religion is a personal thing, that and the fact that a Muslim, JW, Baptist may not have read or even know what is in a Bible.

2) Argue common sense first. Leave out your personal bent.
You'll get farther than the 'I throw my hands up' stage.

3) Listen to the other side and digest the words and thought.
ILR hit the nail on the head. Quoted bible verses have a detrimental effect on lucidity. Look around during a church sermon......If glazed eyes were donuts, Krispy Kreme would be out of business.

4) You do not have to accept a point of view. But you can listen to
it and know that the person that stands behind it, believes it.
It doesn't make them wrong, it doesn't make them right...

It makes them, just like you, a person with an opinion....

and you know....the world will keep spinning.
