Please dont bother answering this post of mine. i am hurt and disillusioned...

[ABYSS64]

My values are most likely the same as yours but having a religious type conversation on this board is suicide!!

[carolwicks]

not true abyss...

not spreading the word of God is suicide. not honoring His son is suicide.
Loving Jesus and sharing His promise with others is the only way to life everlasting.
if the ppl on here dont feel the same way thats their right but those of us who believe have to maintain our right to spread God's word and not be intimidated by anyone. if we turn our backs then it becomes our sin... and we will pay for it. our govt. is trying to take God from us. every thing good in life is being challenged and we are allowing it. abyss... if you love God (Jesus) please dont allow anyone to stop you from speaking ..every race track starts the evening with a prayer so i believe most of our racing family are Christians and we are not committing suicide. ;-)
i am in awe of your total honesty...but please dont be afraid to honor your heavenly Father... you would not be afraid to honor your earthly Father and would fight for that right. ;-)
..the ppl on this board dont have to read our posts. ;-)
carol aka oz

there are NO rules that say we can only talk about RACING... the board is here for racers to talk about anything they want... ;-)

Luke 9:26

Says he who is ashamed of me I will be ashamed of before the father.

Just because someone chose not to replay does not mean they did not get the mesage. Rember humbel your self befor the lord and the lord will lift you up,
thank you for your time .

[carolwicks]

I agree

Abyss said he felt it was suicide to speak about Jesus on here. he didnt say whether he wanted to or not. just that he is not comfortable with what could happen if he did......
the problem with Christians is that alot do believe and alot would love to be able to speak but they are afraid ppl will ridicule them. i could care less... the ppl on this board will not be deciding what happens to me when i die. only God will and it is He whom i have to please and honor... Gods message to us is "love one another"... i try to do that at all times even tho its soooooooooooooo hard sometimes. ;-)

maybe just about everyone that writes replies wrote a reply. Maybe everyone that looks at karnac looked at Don's Christmas post. Maybe everyone that feels like Christ is the mean reason was at church Christmas eve and felt no reply was needed.

[carolwicks]

Maybe... ;-)

whatever the reason... we are all in charge of what we choose to do. ;-) we are all responsible for what we do. ;-)
i hope and pray 2011 will be a better year for everyone. 2010 has been tough. God bless all of you and be kind to one another. ;-)

Maybe some people are Jewish.

Maybe Carol would feel better.....

.....if we had our own little Holy War here on Karnac where combatants can square off in a corner and fight to the death over:
1) What their beliefs are.
2) How they want to worship their God or Buddha or whomever they wish to.
3) How they spell out the way they worship their God.
4) The number of hits any post that they make about their religion gets.
5) And finally, different ways to try and shame or strong arm people into believing the same thing that she (the moral majority) does.

Holy War.
What a misnomer if ever there was one.

But.......the squeaky wheel usually gets what she wants....eventually.

Here's an idea taken from your own keyboard, Carol:
Work on pleasing and honoring God to score points for your own judgement day. Stop worrying about everyone else's. A lot of (and by that I mean "most") people are smarter than you and can dictate their own spiritual
paths just fine.

Why not do the Christian thing and let them make their own choices?
I know someone that might be pleased and honored.

[Frasson118]

So, now this is a Christian message board? Funny, I usually come here for racing news.

If you (the general public) want to put your posts out there pushing your own beliefs, don't you DARE try to make people feel ashamed/embarrassed that they don't feel the same way.

If someone came on here and wished everyone a Happy Ramadan, they would be crucified themselves. I don't care WHAT your own personal beliefs are... if they work for YOU, then whoop-de-doo for you. It still doesn't make you RIGHT, even if you are in the majority. There are plenty of other countries where you are in the MINORITY in those beliefs. Does that make YOU wrong???

Carol... don't feel "disillusioned" about the lack of responses. That's the way it SHOULD be. People making their OWN choices, having faith in whoever makes their life better, and the guts to keep their beliefs to themselves.

I don't push MY beliefs that this whole religion business is a load of money-making, war-starting, political influenced crap.... please don't push the idea that Christians are right and everyone else is wrong.

Your opinion, and your allowed to have it.... just don't DARE try pushing it on me.

[carolwicks]

frass...

the original post was put on by Don... it was a reminder of what Christmas is to Christians. it was never intended to try and make Christians out of non believers.
to be a good Christian you should be able to spread Gods word and whomever want to listen can and the others dont have to. i said before, we are all responsible for our own actions and how we handle our lives. that doesnt mean i condemn those who dont feel like i do. i believe that only God can judge... but if ppl can come on here and be unkind then i dont see why we cant be kind.
i feel bad about alot of things i said to mark because obviously there was a mess of confusion.
Jerry... i have known u for alot of yrs. and we are tight friends. i know what your feelings are and i dont think i have ever tried to convert u... so the things written on here were never directed to you. or any other individual.
it all got out of hand and everyone who posted can take part responsibility...
OJ... i dont want to fight with u... but i will never allow u to control me. i try to respect you even when you are cruel but you enjoy what u do...i cant change that... so say what u want ...
im over all this ... u r right...i just cant seem to help myself. i feel if i dont answer you will assume i gave up and got scared off... if i stop it is because i want to and all has been said.
i dont dislike or hate anyone on here. i just wont give up my right to speak.. i dont feel good right now so im out of here... my choice. in closing... Christmas is a Christian Holiday... whatever is said , whtaever greetings are shared are shared by Christians. i would never in my life ever yell at or insult a Jewish person who came on here wishing jews a Happy Hannakah...sp.... i would simply wish them happy holidays or just not say anything..

Jerry

I have a great respect for you, BUT, I spent 6 years of my life in the military Trying to Guarantee that you could think the way you want and I won't begin to try to take that right away from you. That being said I have just as much right to believe what I do and that's in Jesus Christ. You may choose to worship whoever of what ever you wish but please don't tell me I can't mention what I believe in. I in turn will respect what you believe in. If you see a post you don't care for, don't read it that's the simplest way I can think of to deal with your dislikes. Thank you for reading. Bob 941-737-5857

p.s. Jerry

this was the Christmas Holiday. hence the reason for all the religious talk. there is little or no racing going on right now ... so i dont think it was inappropriate for believers to wish each other happy holidays.
the headings were pretty explicit...

No dig deeper! I think I see some light!.....

You just can't stop, can you?

"i said before, we are all responsible for our own actions and how we handle our lives. that doesnt mean i condemn those who dont feel like i do. i believe that only God can judge..."

ALL YOU DO IS JUDGE, CAROL.
And then you dig a hole so deep you can't throw the dirt high enough to get out of the hole you've made.


Bob...the whole point is no one wants to come here to read about or be drug into a religious or political debate. No....that's wrong. There ARE people who seem to like that but I still believe the majority want to discuss RACING and RACING RELATED subjects.
The real problem is Carol KNOWS that but she WANTS to spark a big debate about it. Pretty much why she started this thread, dontcha think? I mean, it was already beaten to death on another thread but she just HAD to try to restart it here. I'm sure she will be back-peddling and try to deny it or say that she really didn't mean it that way....that is her modus operandi, you know.
I don't deny anyone his or her religious affiliations just as I don't care what division, or brand of car they want to race. But at least this is a place to talk about which track they like or which driver they like to hate.
