----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Amberger" <Magnumguy@xxxxxxxxxxx> Well, Mr. Hopkins, and anyone else offended by my references
to Bible verses, I'm sorry your offended by it, , but I also don't
see why I should remove it from my email signature which is the same email sig.
that everyone I email sees, Whether it's here, or on Moparstyle, et al.,
and I must say, you're the first one who has made any complaint about it.
I know there's members on the mailing list who don't see things the way
some others here do in reference to things of faith, etc., but don't see why it
should be an issue either. It isn't for me. I don't see how a bible verse
constitutes a discussion of "religion".
I know and sometimes understand why some folks have no
use for "religion" (you might be surprised to know I
don't like "religion" either), but you should understand
that your anger or disagreement isn't likely to get me to remove it,
nor should I be expected to either.
When I see something that offends me, I look away or move from it,
not make them remove it from me. When I hear something that offends
me, I don't ask them to quit talking, or ask the radio/tv station to remove
it, I go away from it or turn it elsewhere or off, and if I happen to read
something I don't like, I don't ask them to not print it or remove it, I don't
read it again or get in a position to not have to be exposed to it. If my
reference to the Bible bothers you, I suggest you block me from your inbox, or
easier, just don't read it or ignore it.
I don't see how it interferes w/the goings on with the Forward Look
mailing list. It is the very last thing you should see on my responses or
questions. The administrator has never asked me to remove it.
I would hope you'd see my point, as I see and respect, but
certainly don't agree with, yours. This is America, we can exercise or
express our faith, as well as exercise our non-faith, I respect the views of
all. And I would suggest you do also.
************************************ I recall a post by Mr. Hopkins a while back regarding his position on homosexual marriage on this forum. I believe he said he had been protesting against those wishing to restrict legal marriage to strictly a hetero union. It seemed an odd thing to be seen here. Interesting, the hypocrisy some can espouse for what THEY consider appropriate topical matter, while trying to shut down others for what they don't. Had anyone stepped up and smacked Mr. Hopkins down over the aforementioned post, the cries of "hatespeak" would be sure to follow. Simply amazing. B.
