[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 123021, member: 353"] Huh? Do you live in some ‘Hicksville’ town in Oz? It’s fascinating that you’ve managed to isolate yourself in such a strange, closed-off world where you’ve convinced yourself that Christianity is all about “networking” and keeping women “stupid and subservient.” It’s almost as if you’ve constructed an entirely different reality, one where the very teachings of Jesus are reduced to caricature and distortion. Sounds more like some backward Protestant town in America. I don’t know what part of Australia you live in, however, the Christians I know, in the real world, are the most generous, compassionate people you’ll meet. I’ve witnessed firsthand how they foster and adopt children, giving them loving homes. I’ve seen Christian business owners treat their employees with dignity and respect, paying fair wages, and prioritizing people over profits. Compare that to secular bosses who frequently engage in the very exploitation you claim is the hallmark of “religion”—people who cut corners, push for layoffs, and treat workers as expendable. It’s almost laughable that you would hold up a caricature of Christianity while ignoring the immense good it’s done throughout history. Take A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens—Dickens was a Christian, and through his story, he shows us a lesson in kindness, generosity, and the transformation of the human spirit. The kind of transformation that can only come through a deep moral conviction that transcends selfishness. Does that sound like the "networking" and "subservience" you're referring to? The cartoon world of unkind Christians that you live in is silly. The fact that I repel your shallow arguments, making you angry, makes you seem petty—like someone living in a hick rural area, disconnected from reality. Where I live, nobody fears practicing Christians. On the contrary, in Europe, it’s the Godless and the violent Muslims that are to be feared. You’re so consumed with a twisted, small-town view of Christians that you’ve failed to see the larger, far more dangerous picture. [/QUOTE]
