| BULLDOGG said: what turned me off to the whole god thing. was my boss. he is a big time christian. i told him when i was young and living in California. we lived at a apartment that had a pool in the middle of it. in the year we lived there i saved not one but two toddlers from drowning. and that would get me into heaven if it exsisted. he told me if i dont accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. i would go to hell no matter what i did. then i told him his god is not so awsome as he thinks he is. if he wasnt my wifes uncle. i would probably have been fired. lol but he is a good guy as long as you dont talk religion with him. |
I completely see your point, I also am surrounded by many religious people (Christian - my side of the family) (Muslim - wife's side of the family) but luckily most of them keep their beliefs to themselves and if the subject does come up are very open to other peoples (mostly mine) opinions and do not just dismiss it out of hand. I have to point out though that for my mother in law's side of the family (Pakistani) it is either see religion their way or no way at all which leads me to always hang out with the father in law's (Turkish) side at family get togethers. I am a white South African so we a nice mix of cultures going on.
