Well, the discussion in the recruitment topic was finally muted (though I'd liked to discuss that out there), but I'll open up this thread for the special purposethe title already said ...
First of all, I'm not a Christian and I'm not believing in anything 'supernatural', like beings in the nothing that can create everything... I'm a realist, an atheist and a guy who thinks about what he believes and what not, and not simply thrust a book containing a story someone made up...
Now for the topic... I already met some people that wore about a thousand crosses around their necks and almost try to start a fight when you made some ironic - though not any mean - joke about anything the Christian religion is about. I know people phasing out if I refer to some guy saying 'the one with the Jesus-beard'. Man, would I offend Hitler if I say someone got a Hitler beard? Did Jesus was ashamed of his own beard? Well, most likely, he didn't had a shaver, but as the son of a wise being called 'god', he could order one from heaven, couldn't he? :D
Well, there're also Christians who are just Christians. They do believe in the story (I don't say bible because it's a work of fiction... and all Christians should realize that) and are open for a controverse discussion. The can laugh about a non-offensive joke and still believe in god.
I'd call the second group Christians, and the above one Fanatics, simple thing. If one can't accept that another person has another mentality than oneself and start arguing and fighting, he or she should *** -_-
Your opinion to that?
