You are generalizing that I "can't take a stand" from the single fact that I say "I don't know" when asked if God exists. You have yet to explain why saying "I don't know" is "weak." Can you prove God exists? No. Can Lardbeetle prove God doesn't exist? No. And yet you want me to "have a backbone" and choose one or the other?

Personally, I think it takes more backbone to admit I don't know than to jump into one of the two camps you've so helpfully pre-defined for me.

If you being a weak minded Liberal angers me and you think that makes me a bad Christian - oh well.
How you got from saying "I don't know if God exists" to being a liberal, I don't know. You happen to be correct, but the logical connection escapes me.

Quote:
In particular, people like you because your lack of conviction represents everything that is wrong with our country. Contrary to what Liberals believe, feeble mindedness is not something that should be touted as a badge of honor.
Such generalities you spew.

I was a National Merit Scholar. Definitely feeble-minded.

I volunteered for the Army as an officer in a combat branch (Armor). Clearly, no backbone.

In high school I led a revolt in my Scout troop when the Scoutmaster decided everyone (Jews, Muslims, atheists, Catholics) would have to participate in Christian church services on campouts. I'm sure that showed I was "weak."

This last Christmas I stopped a purse-snatching at the Mall of America. More "weakness".

I vote, I pay my taxes, I own a house, I'm raising two kids, I've been married and faithful for 9 years. I stand up for what I believe in my daily life. I'm honest to a fault.

But because I see no proof either way about God's existence, I'm a weak-minded cowardly liberal. Sure.

I'd say "bite me", but your avatar is a Doberman.
