I was joking I have a god, but it is not a person, although I believe it can appear as one if it wishes, noncorporeally, of course. The whole guy on a throne in the sky thing is getting kinda old. I waited on Dr. Harrison Schmidt a couple months ago. He had walked on the moon. My friends are happily building toys with camaras that are landing on Mars. Others are building spacecraft that take off like airplanes and achieve orbit. We need to keep faith and morality, but a lot of the other stuff was ergot in the flour.
I was going to say something very very cruel but it probably would be deleted so instead....
with my substandard HMO health insurance provider please know valium isn't even covered.
You should have told the Pope to take ginseng when he was making those horrific comments about gays and FORGETTING to discuss the evils of pedophile priests.
Pits/Dobes:
I know lots about Christian religion/faith: MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. Which you nor anyone else can change. I think it is a bunch of bullc** but just as I am entitled to not care about Christianity or any other organized religion you are entitled to care and worship. AAAAhhh smell that: smells like FREEDOM OF CHOICE!
"You should have told the Pope to take ginseng when he was making those horrific comments about gays and FORGETTING to discuss the evils of pedophile priests."
Yeah, I guess I should have mentioned that to him over beers one Friday night. Geez.
But seriously, I get the feeling that you are gay and maybe have a big chip on your shoulder? Lose the chip, dear......it's quite unbecoming.

For what it is worth: this ain't Kansas Dorothy.
I will lose your chip if you lose your brassiness and inability to realize I am entitled to express my opinion. Your incessant provocation is equally "unbecoming". Whatever you are feeling believe me: it is reciprocated.
"For what it is worth: this ain't Kansas Dorothy." "I will lose your chip if you lose your brassiness and inability to realize I am entitled to express my opinion." Keep your chip. Brassiness is my trademark. Never said you didn't have the right to your opinion, but I have a right to think your opinion is wrong. "Your incessant provocation is equally "unbecoming". Whatever you are feeling believe me: it is reciprocated." Provocation? Whatever........You started. I finished. End of story. Dorothy
Julie I have wondered that same thing for sometime now. And to be honest she doesn't strike me as a woman of God. (not bashing just my thoughts)

Started what? What on earth are you talking about? You as I recall wrote something to me initially. I have never addressed you until you stated you felt I was picking on Shadow or something of the sort. Quite frankly....
You are hilarious!
You know what you need to do...you need to go find TOTO put on your red shoes and just go already...do something anything... Dorothy, you must leave Kansas...the storm is coming. And you mentioned something about a beer.. me thinks you have had to many already but whatever.. be gone now scoot...click your red heels.. you will feel better in the morning...The lion has courage, the scarecrow is scared...whatever...just be gone! Bye!

There is a difference between religion and faith. Religion is something you practice, Faith is something you have.
I am not religious. I don't have some statue or ceramonial worshiping ritual.
And honestly Gina you can wonder all you want because in the end the only one I need to account to is God himself. Don't strike you as a woman of God? Would you know one? I mean honestly do you think because I am a minister I am supposed to be above others? All of a sudden I am held to some higher standerd then others? Since when am I not human? Since when do we not have flaws like anyone else? I don't look down my nose at people professing to be better then them because I am a minister. So don't you dare look down your nose at me because I don't meet your definition of a woman of God because we are all of God to begin with.

Since someone is always sticking up for individuals that I quite frankly do not believe deserve to be protected and in the spirit of Jawlaw who so many moons ago: defended my honor..
I LOVE YOU JAWLAW!
I LOVE YOU JAWLAW FOREVER!
...and because no one ever ever sticks up for PitsandDobes and I know what it is liked to be on the receiving end of negativity even if it is behind a computer screen...and even when people bring negativity to you and you have NO IDEA who these people are and why they dont like you and even though you know you shouldnt care because it is not like you will ever see these people EVER in your life and it is not as if they pay your bills ...
I will state in defense of PitsandDobes:
Judge ye lest not ye be judged. Is that how it goes?
O.k. screw the King--I never understood half of it anyway:
in my words:
if it doesnt bother you, doesnt hurt your family what's it to you if PitsandDobes is a minister? Ministers make a considerable amount of money- $5000 and up for a 4 day a month work schedule. And some although their compensation is tax free do a considerable amount of charitable work in their communities. Whose to say PitsandDobes is not Joyce Meyers who mind you did get a face lift courtesy of her congregation but never ye mind that. The point is:
PitsandDobes whatever you are and whatever you choose to be and however you wish to express your choices is your business, your right and your freedom. Usually as long as it does not encroach on others.
Do you girl! And don't sweat the haters and naysayers! There will always be people who don't like you. Shake them off!
Thanks Pits for devoting your time and effort and only replying to my post....Funny how Julie was the one who originally asked the question but her question went unanswered. You never said what religion you practice?

Gina:
You never ever according to you and from what I can recall ever say anything negative to anybody...why are you questioning PitsandDobes...this isn't the first time I have read things you have posted and it appears you have an issue with Pits. Why? Seems unlike you.
Pits and I have had major disagreements it's a very long story. It all started when she said she was a professional dog trainer and then turned around and advised someone to spank their 8 lb dog for barking. There have just been a lot of statments made by her that make a person wonder....

I think Pits meant that being a Christian and being "religious" are not really the same. Being a Christian means the obvious, no more no less. Oftentimes being "religious" means paying more attention to the outward form of worhippping by rote. Kind of like the Pharisees praying out loud (and being obnoxious) in front of everyone, and then Jesus saying it would be better to hide in the closet and pray......
I answered her question and I answered yours. What part of there is a difference between religion and faith don't you get? I do not "practice a religion." I am a Christian a child of God, Catholics can worship theyr statues and teach that babies who die without baptisim wil go to hell, A shrine to Buddha does not sit in my living room and I do not chat or burn incense. That is religion. I simply talk to my father and Saviour every single chance I get. Just like I talk to my husband, my dogs, all of you I talk to him.
For the record tyson ministers do not make that much money lol

I don't recall claiming I am never negative although I do try to be generally nice.

Indeed!
Hilarious! I see more characters in dog forums than I do working the reference desk on Saturday evenings! The homeless are mild compared to people in dog forums.
