The military recruiters drawing heavily from people with nothing to live for is a big contributing factor in completely disproportionate suicide rates, and explains the rate among non-deployees and veterans in a way that PTSD alone clearly cannot.

Giving up a lucrative football career with fame glory and riches to risk your life for your country is more patriotic than being a high school dropout with a future of digging ditches and flipping burgers

Depends on your definition of heroism...

I would say someone who repeatedly puts their life in danger to save others and accomplishes feats that few others could.

Like I say - I'm sure that's what Tillman thought he was doing... That's why I say he was misguided.

This one actually is funny.

I got banned for 3 hours and a 10% warn for saying god was a man made concept in the christian forums, Good times boys! There religion is so bullshit that they had to ban me rather then have a discussion with me, I mean I am a christian regardless of the fact I believe god is a man made concept, I was raised going to bible school etc, I just never believed in any of it even tho I went through the routine as a child. So banning me was an extreme and pathetic reaction.

...bracing diatribe chum but that sub-forum is actually reserved for those who profess a sincere belief in God and Christianity .

You broke the rules of the Christian Fellowship. They are quite obvious in the big sticky in the Christian Fellowship forum. You got what you deserved.

The thing is not all Christians have the same beliefs, acting like there is one universal Christian belief is a lie, and immature. I think you God hippies are just butthurt.

I just don't understand why they get there own forum with immunity from everything, and here we are where with out very own thread wow! where they can some and say what every they want (as they should be able to) about people with atheist or agnostic views.

Also there is no BIG sticky its regular size lol.

Lol. I'm not a 'god-hippie'. you couldn't be further from the truth.

If you think god doesn't exist then you're not a Christian. It's an anti-Christian view and you shouldn't be posting it in the Christian Fellowship. 'Nuff said.

it amazes me that people don't get this. If you're not a christian or sincere in your desire to learn about it in a peaceful and respectful manner.

I posted 'Rock on Jesus' in there and got a 24hour suspension. Cos they know what I'm like. Since then I haven't been near the place. Not worth it. it's their own little place to indulge their fantasy and feel safe with others who share the same fantasy. Let them be safe and peaceful there.

Personally I think it's a great thing... I just wish we didn't have so many of them out here in other forums as well.

Well then why raise children as "christian's"? If they aren't old enough to get married or drink, but they are old enough to be labeled as something they are yet to understand, I think your argument is illogical.

So I guess I was only a christian up until the point I was old enough to even understand what was going on? This is why people see Christians in an ugly light.

and if you want the respect and immunity from opinion's stop raising children teaching them something they aren't choosing to embrace for themselves, its a form of brainwash and its astonishing I am shocked that the only religious group on here is a Christian one, i'm sure they would flip shit if another religion was to have a section on here with immunity from anything but what they want to hear.

...why is it so difficult for you to just say you're an atheist ?
