Tom, I can't go away for a few days and come back and find you treating people with any kind of decency. I hope when I’m finished here, we can still have that pizza; however:

What I wrote was decent and respectable wisdom. Your small mind saw only a reasonable, non-religious quote from the Bible, which immediately launched an angry, vicious tirade against Christianity. From where does your venom come? I am appalled that your unreasonable atheist attacks on the beliefs of others are even tolerated. For Marina to allow this, I hope in fairness she will permit this very reasonable objection.

I am bewildered by your lack of respect and common courtesy, Tom. That’s unrelated to religion. What kind of upbringing launches someone on a tirade every time they hear the mention of God or the Bible. Tom, this forum is not your personal venue. We all enjoy having you here and we look forward to your comments, but you have no right to disparage what is cherished by others because they believe something you don’t. Unless you work for this site as the religion police, please stop this. When you hear someone say, "God bless you", nod your head, smile and take it in the spirit in which it was intended. I should not have to teach you this. In addition to hurting others, your behavior makes you appear like a malcontent little troll and I wish to think better of you than this.

I’m always your friend, but I reject your mean-spirited tirades. Believe what you want; I will support your right, but your disparaging what others believe is unacceptable and far outside the gospel of tolerance you preach. Stop being a hypocrite. No one attacked you and no one deserves for you to monopolize this forum with your unreasonable hatred of Christianity and their God. Show some manners and respect the belief of others. Who knows; they may be correct! Now, please comment on the current topic; many of your remarks are really quite sensible. And don’t be mad!  ))))
