Religious Tolerance is a very important thing. It's great when we can agree on aspects of one's beliefs. It's another when we find them repugnant.
Lord knows I am absolutely aghast at the things Westboro Baptist is doing in the name of God, but.....where does one draw the line at asking your deity of choice to hurt people for following their beliefs?
First it's for protesting at someone's funeral. Sure, lots of people can get behind that. In fact, there's a group out there that actually wears great big angel wings and shields the mourners from the Westboro Baptist protestors. But what next? "Okay, you set THESE people straight, now there's a guy that STOLE MY PARKIN SPOT! Let's get him next!"
I'm not saying, as a person, that you shouldn't distance yourself from people like this, nor should you try to shout them down. I believe, I truly believe, that YOUR religious beliefs, and how YOU portray them, speak more loudly than any form of protest you might incur upon these people.
What's the saying? Be the change you want to see in the world.
Education is a much more effective tool than standing on the rooftops denouncing what evil people they are.

We could "sign up" with ULC forums (Murph or ?) to have our home address, phone and of course e-mail addy's posted on an admin. sheet that would give us a jingle by phone or snail-mail (our preferences) if we hadn't posted in say 15, 30 or 45 days (multiple choice type questionnaire)
like, the ULC Minister Directory?

Mark,
I may not have mentioned it, but I always enjoy the stories you bring back from vacation. It sounds like you had a wonderful time!

No comment necessary. Thanks for sharing.
and, because I CAN, I'm gonna pin this topic, because it's a beautiful message, and I think it deserves it.

but it appears the Troll has a Romulan Tachion Disrupter hanging off his belt...

topic made invisible at poster's request.

Yes, he will be missed. And don't forget, he was a Canadian as well!
hehe I told my coworker last night that I forgave him for that!

He is one of my favorite actors of all time. He will be missed!

This is not the place for this type of discussion. This thread was supposed to be wishing the president a happy birthday.
We have other areas in the forum more appropriate for this type of commentary.
Please note the lock sign that has been affixed to this topic and recognize that it coincides with your further inability to post in it.

California is most liberal when it comes to ordained ministers.
I live in AZ, and next year I will be performing a marriage in California. No need to register or anything.

If you are interested in reading this book, I would suggest saving your money just reading Pete's posts; it is the same stuff.
What does that mean? That sounds suspiciously like a personal attack.
Awaiting clarification.

Please don't hold back on hospital food and passing jokes
I guess the hospital food.....
*puts on sunglasses*

(sorry for the loss...good luck..)

Okay now this takes it too far
Why does it matter the nationalities of the Christians?
I know a few Afghani Christians in toronto
This is unacceptable
The media should not be trying to provoke an Islamic response
Release it with that headline in Afghanistan
I don't want the war here
Please correct me if I am wrong in being highly offended that this type of prejudiced journalism is allowed in the 21st century
Yup. Negative news sells.
You saw the story, it gave you an emotional response. You passed it on, for discussion. That's what they want. Get a reaction, get their name out there.
*nod*

How do you know it is his birthday? Or, how do you know we are talking about Obama's birthday?
I have not heard yet that he has verified who he is much less when or where he was born.
Really? You're gonna come into a thread in "Prayers and Good Wishes" and attempt to derail a thread posted by a well meaning member?
Come on. You're better than that.

Fawzo, quit scarin the new people!

Vicodin is awesome drugs. Tell the dancin skittles I said hi.
Feel better..sorry your day sucked.

I'm amused at how far this topic has gone. A person wants to "convert" people from Wicca, and we turn it into a 9 page topic.
That is all. Carry on.
-
Mark.
you're banned.
FYI.
No, removal from the forum does NOTHING to affect your ordination with the ULC. That's just simply a removal of your posting priviledges on the forum. Even if I HAD the pull with Andre to revoke your ordination, which I DON'T, I wouldn't.
and truth to tell, you were gettin picked on, because what person in their right mind would even be so concerned about the forum?!
We all deal with the "oh, so you're not a REAL minister..." comments. And that's cool. Whatever, right? We're entitled to our beliefs, or lack thereof, just as they are.

it's one of the breast smilies I have on this forum.

heyyyyyyy...what can I say? It's a subject of great interest to me.

I actually hope the savedintheson comes back and takes the time to learn more about us all. It may seem very strange at first but as many here (of all views) will testify it is very worth the pursuing.
Me too, Pete...
