37. I agree, to some extent...
Just like the "K & R if you ___________" threads.

Or the "Please help me DU this poll" threads.

OR the "Let's all boycott _______" threads.


They're all pointless too, and I've sometimes gone in and said so.


But the part I find disagreeable is how Christians feel they have to constantly advertise their faith. How they have to unite because they are so "persecuted", even though they appear not to know the meaning of the word. In fact, according to one definition of the word...

2. to annoy with persistent or urgent approaches (as attacks, pleas, or importunities) : pester

it's disbelievers and people of other faiths who are being persecuted by Christians who annoy, pester, or plead with us to believe what they do. Or when Christians want to run the country based on their religious beliefs like the rest of us don't have any rights at all to live our own lives free from religious tomfoolery.


Even some of my less extreme Christian friends have some strange ideas.

Not something I'd be proud of...
