    Yes you can! So sayeth most of the population!

    For example, my ex was always really judgmental/harsh about other people really quickly... which is probably why she barely seems to have any friends. That was something I hated about her even when things were going well... her favorite passtime was talking s*** about people. And that's what the people who are the inspiration for this thread thrive on: talking s*** about people they know nothing about.

    Maybe I'm biased, but it seems to me that non-religious people do a better job of not being overly judgmental.

    I've read that when meeting a stranger, they will sum you up within the first 10 seconds. Women know in the first 10 seconds whether they would ever sleep with you or not.

    I'm just a simple shepard and Jesus is my North star. I will stay very humble. I won't even talk about how humble I am because I am such a simple faith filled person. When I go home tonight to eat my fish I caught from the sea and share unleavened bread with my first born son, I will remind my family how great it is that we left religion to follow Jesus.

    I agree

    Why have a hidden agenda.

    I had lunch with Krosfyah (a rowdy- great guy)

    Don't remember inviting him to church, we talked Rockets. :)

    Jesus is the good shepherd, I am a simple pastor of a very small church, Jesus is my guiding light, I am not very humble. I am a simple person, but not filled with faith. When I go home at night I enjoy my 5 kids and my wife and watch Rockets or sports. I love to fish, I don't eat unleavened bread and I really don't care for religion.

    I love Jesus and yes, I read His words in the bible and I try to do what He says. You would say Jesus is my crutch. OK by me. Am I brainwashed by the bible? Yes, but my brain needed cleaning.

    That's a straight quote from a female p*rn star I saw on a XXX HBO special about the lives they lead. At least that was what this chick said about herself. :)




    Impeach Boosh.

    posted this in a thread in the Hangout
    People definitely hide behind religion. Article says "he" but I think its more "she". Couple has all kinds of premarital sex. Then when she gets pregant - Abortion is "against my religion" :confused: Not the fact they're for or against it but they're including religion in the choice, the same religion they disregarded during their sexual romps.
