Yes, it does matter to me what others think. It makes me think, LOL. Pushy people. I think there are many types that fit this bill. I agree though, it can and does turn me off. Pushy atheist, pushy Christians, pushy--whomever is not the way to deal with most issues. I am very Roman Catholic/Native American respect our natural world kind of guy and I want everyone to believe and have faith like me. I also know this is not going to happen in the real world. I attempt to show my faith by more action and the way I live than by pounding people with my religion. Again, it is my utter hope to have all of us come to some kind of "live and let live mode". To me it is very simple. Agree to respect each others views and religions. In the end we will all find out the truth. Have a good day.

Oh trust me, I know there are pushy ones on each side.  I live in Texas so a pushy atheist, I don't see many, but there are ones on here.  I stopped being friends with an atheist woman because all she wanted to do is act all fake and nice on the forum to people and them PM you and trash them to bits and try to PM people close to me to get them to gang up on believers and pick on them.  They're all the same to me.  I don't like any of it.  I go more by the person, not what they believe, and if someone is mean and bitter on the inside, no belief or lack of is going to change that, or conceal that.

And I like reading your posts about Native American beliefs.  :yes:

Yes, BM, I bet it does.   No amount of kissing my butt is going to make me able to take someone like that.  Speaking of hitting home, have you ever seen this show?  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098837/ (continually looks for opportunities to climb the social ladder, sound familiar?)   :w00t:  My Grams loves that show and it sure reminds me of it.

A marvellous BBC comedy. Hyacinth Bucket was my kind of lady. I'm not embarrassed to admit I've had some cheeky thoughts about her.

Yes she exists, she appears in some of the shows  and her mad husband Bruce, who likes to dress up in her clothes... Mrs Bucket is always trying to hide the embarrassed and aims to stop Violet from getting a divorce from Bruce. lol

And if you do that, you can mention it almost every single time you post!  

Oh really, she was religious too?  Good pull!!  Very insightful!  :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:   I thoroughly enjoyed the read, thank you.  I am a better person now for just having had the immensely great fortune of reading this ever oh so most insightful post.   :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :wub: :wub: :wub:   Thank you once again!!

LOL, I was looking on Netflix, which I got rid of, but I may get back some day for the streaming, but they don't have it on there other than the disks, but I'm not sure it comes on PBS here anymore or not.  I'll have to ask my Grams, but I want to say she said they took it off and she was bummed.
