What is that, an excuse? We should respect rude, aggressive
proselytizers because they are able to convince themselves God wants
them to behave that way? Islamic terrorists use that exact
rationalization.

I suppose you have a great deal of respect for telemarketers too?

Some people think they hear a call to the priesthood when what they really
hear is a tiny voice whispering "It's indoor work with no heavy lifting".

That's what I have against many organized religions, they allow the
membership to break their own covenants and continue on as if nothing ever
happened.


As with so many other things, I have to say that that's a real issue,
but it isn't with my own church.

I think this thread has played itself out. Have a happy Thanksgiving
everyone!


See this is where I have a problem. People who claim to not be religious
celebrate holidays such as Christmas, Easter, and yes Thanksgiving.


Just as an earlier poster said he would spend money with religious symbols,
I will certainly take a day off for whatever reason. I think in the
interest of fairness we need at least a holiday a month from each of the
categories (Christian, Islam, Judisim, Agnostic, Athiestism, Satanism,
Buddism, Beerism, Lazyism, anything else).
