What do you teach? Social studies or science? If you teach science, then there's no reason to understand what other people think. Science is fact, not feelings.Though I doubt I have your Marine forged, alpha level confidence of stride in life, I’ve never allowed others opinions to sway my path at all - and I am very happy in my life.
- I’m a teacher. And I believe a good teacher cares about their students genuinely. I feel in order to do that I need to understand other people and their views a little better.
- There has arisen a new social element recently as my kids are beginning to find close friends (esp with girls), I feel a desire to connect a little more with neighbors with kids, and my children’s friends parents. I’d hate to limit their ability to connect with others socially.
You don't realize churches are full of hypocrites?Then you don't know Christianity. You are just making crap up now.
Absolutely agree here.You don't realize churches are full of hypocrites?
I'm not a Baptist but there is a famous Baptist minister in my neck of the woods that is very wise and good at his ministry. He runs one of the biggest and affluent Baptist parishes in the south, right down the road from me. Anyway, he does podcasts and such that are excellent. Basically mini-sermons. He had one that has stuck with me over the years. Basically, a woman looking for a new parish came to him about possibly joining the church and told him that she wanted to join a church with no hypocrites. He told her that his church is not the place for her. The only perfect being was JC himself and church is for all those that sin and have flaws like hypocrisy. And only in Christ's church will those find forgiveness and a possible path to be better but it is up to that person to understand and strive for it.Absolutely agree here.
I hate to generalize because a lot of great fine folks I have known through the years in churches but there are always at least a few.
Thanks. That is a great story and a good point.I'm not a Baptist but there is a famous Baptist minister in my neck of the woods that is very wise and good at his ministry.

Again, I'm far from an expert on my religious beliefs but that has always stuck with me with the simple honesty.
Of course, but you are just throwing crap on the wall.You don't realize churches are full of hypocrites?

Me too. A lot of help.I need help every damn day!
Are you sure it's that, or do you mention your preoccupation with unicorns?
Do you think I don’t realize the poll is not exactly a legitimate repsentative sample?
I don’t think the Christians like me much, the fake ones do....but the real ones, not so much.
The ones that go to church sometimes and say they’re Christian without really even understanding their religion
I am. At least one poster answered they hate other religions. I was really wondering if any would choose the “not around my children” option. As I struggle with evaluating other parents and their home’s safety for my children, I wonder what impact religion plays for those religious in that assessment in their lives.
Not as many as the world contains.....You don't realize churches are full of hypocrites?
There was also one hypocrite among the 12Apostles.....Judas...I'm not a Baptist but there is a famous Baptist minister in my neck of the woods that is very wise and good at his ministry.
