Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one, and to be proud of it, but it isn't okay to whip it out in public and start waving it around, and it especially isn't okay to shove it down anyone's throat.

I'm trying to determine which response was stranger (for lack of a better word) - his or yours!

Yours. Yours is the strangest, obviously. It's what started the derailment of the discussion in the first place. My response was not strange; it is a relevant and accurate comparison, and addressed your preachy insertion into the conversation. Now, unless you have an actual reason as to why religion is not like a penis in the way I described, or you would like me to continue to expound upon the topic of why religion is like a penis and you should stop molesting (which can be used to mean pester or harass, so what a good pun it is) us with it, please leave us to our productive discussion. Again, I am sure your contribution would be welcomed in the correct context, as plenty of threads in the main forum provide.

She was being humorous, and so was I. But her point is right. The things your are saying she's heard all her life. You're not speaking anything new.

And this IS LocalChurchDiscussions, which means exLCer's can express themselves out here. They're all welcomed. And not all of us have stayed religious ... besides, didn't they brag in the LC that they aren't religious?

One more thing. Odin is wonderful. You'd know that if you got to know him.

Wounded I hung on a wind-swept gallows
For nine long nights,
Pierced by a spear, pledged to Odhinn,
Offered, myself to myself
The wisest know not from whence spring
The roots of that ancient rood

They gave me no bread,
They gave me no mead,
I looked down;
with a loud cry
I took up runes;
from that tree I fell.
~~ Odin

Excellent, maybe this will get the conversation back on track. Tell me more about how awesome Odin is!
