In the United States about 75% of the population identifies as Christian. Only 2% is Jewish. And we should believe you when you say it's lonely being a Christian?

I'm going to be straight and give some real advice, you can take it or leave it, nothing to me really, I expect you to mock it, maybe You'll surprise me, but if you do take it you'll have a much more harmonious outcome.
If you had told ImJerusha this, I may well have repped you because I would have agreed.
pretend granite response to IMJerusha said:
This style makes the same point but better and doesn't show disdain for all Christians on a Christian based forum. My advice is basically to be cool, and allow for a conversation.

I'll refer you to post #43 for answer to that, though again, I doubt you'll understand. You see, it's perfectly acceptable to some to show disdain for a Brother or Sister individually who is standing strong in their faith so long as it doesn't reflect on the Body as a whole on a Christian based forum. There is a reason why our young adults, which nowadays equates to age 11 to 15, are turned off by the faith. It's because Christian adults rarely put their money where their mouths are and stand when the time is right to do so.
So, barbeque me for having the audacity to look a young girl in the eye and tell her exactly why, in matter of fact and not unpleasant tones, I won't purchase her goods. I really don't care. And if the attending adults had had any care whatsoever for said young girls, they would have sent them home to put on skirts that cover their derrieres, shirts that covered their upper torsos and scrub the excess war paint off before some "gentleman" mistook what they were selling.

Why not be a Christian, and have no regrets at all?

That's totally unrealistic and ignorant of Scripture.
The regret is in the fact that a once Girl Scout has to decline to support the organization by the purchase of its goods due to their choice of perversion over Godly living and that a young girl is totally unaware of where she is being led and is indeed proud of where she is being led. I would think it most appropriate behavior for a Christian to feel that sort of regret. After all, Yeshua wept over Jerusalem because He knew where she was headed.
Then you and Jesus have different ideas about what a Christian does.
That's just your own wishes, being projected on God. Not a good idea, I think. Jesus spent remarkably little time, if any, focusing on homosexuality, but a great deal of time on Pharisees parading their righteousness for everyone.
Which is what you're doing at the expense of a little girl. Just say "no, thank you" and go on with your life. BTW, the kid isn't going to take away "maybe there's something wrong with the Girl Scouts."
She's going to think that there's something wrong with you. Kids are very perceptive that way.
Back then, there were a lot of Pharisees in Jerusalem, too.

I believe you are probably a bit delusional on why your young are not interested in Christianity.
You should care. You make Christians look like absolute jerks and you should probably care about that sort of thing.
What on earth are you talking about? I've never seen a Girl Scout selling cookies in a hooker uniform.

Ezekiel 3:18
Again, Ezekiel 3:18. A very good idea to pay attention to.
You're confused. Yeshua told people to listen to the Pharisees teaching but don't do as they did which was not live what they taught. I've chosen to live God's teaching and the teaching of His Son who focused every ounce of His being on His Father's teaching which, according to Leviticus 18:22 is very anti homosexuality.
Which would stand for nothing in God's eyes. Consider Revelation 14:12 and think about your limp-wristed approach.
How do you know what that young girl took away from my stand?
As I have already stated, my regret was that a young girl was proud that she was being led astray; so much so that she could no longer recognize the benefit of a firm faith.
Yeah, but it wasn't all Pharisees yelling "Give us Barabbas!" and "Crucify Him!" now was it?

Well, you believe Scripture is just a bunch of stories with the notion of God and you put no confidence in God's word so why wouldn't you think I'm delusional?
And that's how I figure unbelievers do view Christians. Big deal. That's how Yeshua was viewed.
That's too bad. You should have been there. It was an eye opener for me! If you want to drag my initial comments to other outlandish places, you go right ahead. :chuckle: I can't guarantee I'll oblige you with responses.

What does this have to do with what I said?
You'd be wrong. We don't view Christians as jerks unless they are jerks. There are several Christians here who are very good people. I would never classify them as jerks. I know many in my own life too. Some of the kindest, most understanding and sweet people I have ever know are Christians. Why do assume we think you are all bad and then let that dictate your behavior?
Outlandish places? I don't follow. The only thing outlandish in this thread is your attitude about how you think you should be able to treat and speak to other people's children.
Translated = WalMart is it on much of the day to day.
Crest in WalMart costs less than in the grocery store. So, the grocery store sells me groceries, and that is about it. Same with laundry soap and dish soap.
If this were the case, B. Hussein Soetoro (Obama) would not have been elected President. Twice.
Do you shop on Sundays? Or just have a dislike for companies that aren't open?

Little girls are not "wicked." And it's incomprehensible to me why you want to treat them so. You're supposed to be a imitation of Christ.
That's just your own wishes, being projected on God. Not a good idea, I think.
See above. You might be angry at the Girl Scouts, but being angry at an organization is not justification for taking it out on a little girl.
Barbarian observes:
Jesus spent remarkably little time, if any, focusing on homosexuality, but a great deal of time on Pharisees parading their righteousness for everyone. Which is what you're doing at the expense of a little girl.
Rather, you made up a new religion and want us to call it Christianity.
Well, let's take a look...
Matthew 23:5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
So you're a jerk to a little kid, because you want people to see you as righteous.
You've just picked out some parts you think fit your obsession, and made them your religion.
Barbarian suggests a Christian approach:
Just say "no, thank you" and go on with your life.
It would stand for you being a reasonable imitation of Christ.
Being a life-long Christian, I'm not impressed by people randomly tossing Bible verses. You're way out of line on this, and I think you're starting to realize it. This is not what Jesus did, and it is not what He wants you to do.
Barbarian observes:
BTW, the kid isn't going to take away "maybe there's something wrong with the Girl Scouts."
She's going to think that there's something wrong with you. Kids are very perceptive that way.
I had five of my own. I was a coach, a boy scout leader, a CCD instructor, and I happen to teach kids for a living. I know kids.
Odds are, she never thought about it, or even heard about the Girl Scouts' policy of non-discrimination.
A firm faith is built on Christ, not on homophobia.
They wanted Him crucified. And they got what they want. Until you realize that things such as you did to that girl scout are the things that put Him on that cross, there's no hope for you.

You're a retard.
It appears that she declined buying the cookies.
An interestingly retarded application of "taking it out" on someone.
No, you're just lying about this.
