A baseball bat works better.....lol

Do what you believe in...some will accept it and some will reject it :-)

You shove your religion and beliefs each time you announce you will pray for a person without their consent or asking for said prayer. You shove your religion at a person by tossing bible verses at them without first determining if they are Christian or not. I see no other religion that makes itself so obnoxiously annoying and "in your face" as the Christian religion. That's thumping. When you dare, as you put it, quote bible verses or state your beliefs in the extremist manner that only THEY are true and no other, make sure your audience is indeed Christian. Otherwise be ready to deal with the fact that each time you speak and push your bible and beliefs on those who are not Christian (but not necessarily without God) you are being a thumper and will be labeled one. Now that being said, I left for many reasons. It was not just you Randy, but your inability to quit hounding me with your prayers was the last straw. I do not want your religion, your God or your prayers. Accept it and stop being an obnoxious crusader and we'll get along like we did before.

Now as for debating beliefs, there's no such thing. There is only attacking and pulling apart another's beliefs. You have yours, I have mine. Agreeing to allow others to have their own beliefs and to respect they have their own is the best we can do really. Wars happen because of the fight over religious beliefs/spiritual beliefs. Who will stop the wars? Will you lay down your sword and trust in your God that He can reach those who are ready to accept Him without you doing battle through debates or forcing your belief on the ones who do not want it? All rhetorical questions. You do not have to answer.

Did you see where I said I was sorry to you.
After prayer my God let me know I was wrong.
I just hope your god can let you know if you do wrong because we all do.

Sorry for the late reply. I did not get a notification that you posted here.

Yes, I did see your apology. Thank you. I take care of myself and my own actions. Karma let's me know if I've done right or wrong. ;)

Thank God for Karma..........lol

There is a difference between pushing and sharing of something a person believes and wants to testify to.

It's a wikipedia definition, not mine.

How do you shove beliefs down someone's throat, I can't even do that to loved ones. Because they would choke, I try to be an example.

Good point. Set an example.

Who are you asking?

I hope you saw my list above.......

Thats because all the sinful thoughts leave their head.........lol

No, they are narrow-minded.

I believe your right, some go overboard, as in everything.
At the same time I know some who went to carnival atmosphere evangelist and had a real life change.

I found this definition in the Oxford dictionary...
Bible-thumping
adjective [ attrib. ]
denoting a person who expounds or follows the teachings of the Bible in an aggressively evangelical way : a Bible-thumping evangelical Protestant.
My Dad was a Baptist preacher and I have heard all kinds of preachers including carnival barker evangelists, Dad called them “Thumpers” for their style. The mystic snake handlers was a tough act to follow and lots of Faith healers of course. Everyone likes a good show. My childhood brought me in close contact with quite a lot of variety. I enjoy a life filled with my religion. Its a golden path for me.
