I've seen whats "outside the box".......and I'll stick with the box.


Just because you associate with people with similar beliefs makes you a conformist? No. It means that youve weighed all the options and found the religion that you believe to be true. How is that conforming?

not a conformist, but you're conforming to that sect.

Am I the only one that finds this statement funny coming from the person who attacks anyone not christian/republican and calls them close-minded conformists who only dislike bush because its popular?

Heres one just made recently:

You see, you're just following the popular train if you dislike bush but if you support him, THEN you're individual!

I only "attacked" people in defense of them attacking me first. And disagreeing with someone or their ideology, while at the same time representing your own beliefs in an equitable way, is not "attacking," it is a discussion. Grow up.

I never said that at all. It is obvious that the latest trend in today's hollywood is to publicly be anti-bush, and individuals do not follow trends, they set them. It is true that there is also a trend of blindly following Bush's lead, but that too is a bad thing. No person or thing (with the exception of the lord) is ALL good. One must weigh the pros and cons of everything before making any decisions.

Yes, i'm the one who needs to grow up and you're also correct on it being "attacking" not attacking.

So how do you know the Dixie Chicks or any personal who dislikes bush hasn't done that?

Woh woh, every person is an individual so what you're saying is no one follows trends? Then you go on saying people blindly follow bushes lead...I'm confused.

Also your lord killed a whole city because he thought they were gay, I believe that goes against the "thou shall not murder" thing and breaking those 10 commandments is bad, not good. So really "The Lord" is bad. You fail.

I don't. But seeing as how they only started thier criticisms of the Bush administration when it became popular for Hollywood to do so makes me have my doubts.

Actually, educated people know that God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gamorrha (sp?) because of the violent nature of it's people, not because of their sexual preferences. So you are wrong once again.

I don't think thats a fair critisism. They did it far before it was popular back when Micheal Moore was getting boo-ed off the stage at the oscars for denouncing the presidents plans.

The Dixie chicks should not be faulted for having an opinion, especailly now that it seems to hold a majorities sway.

Yes, but now that the majority is doing it, they dont seem to be as vocal about their despise for Bush. Weird.

I find it hard to believe you could have already weighed all the options. I'm 26, and I feel like life is a lifelong spiritual journey. 10 years from now, I could be a Christian, a Muslim, a Wiccan, anything. Hey, if you really have weighed all the options, then that's cool, but somehow I just don't believe it. As much as I've read the Bible and have seen several parts that contradict each other, and have read stories in it that make it sound like it was written by Timothy Leary, I'm OK w/ it, as long as people don't use it as a tool for hate and discrimination, and sadly that's what I see a lot of 'Christians' doing these days.
