Well that's bullshit. I bring it into conversations where it is relevant. Like this one. OP is Christian and is expressing views on how to treat the poor. His god has issued moral decrees on how they should be treated and I viewed him as going against those decrees. If you disagree with that premise then that's fine but to imply Christianity has nothing to do with Christians views on the poor is ridiculous.

I'm not bashing Christianity here. I'm saying it has some good views on how to treat the poor and that OP is going against them even though he's a christian. Take your fucking Viv goggles off and listen to the words I'm saying instead of just seeing your preconceived idea of who I am and arguing against what you think my intentions might be.

Op is a christian and does something against traditional christian doctrine so that makes it relevant? You brought it up, making it part of the conversation where before there was not a single post having anything to do with religion. The point is you didnt need at all to go to that point but you chose to in an attempt to derail the conversation. It was 100% off topic, 100%. Each christian isnt required to live in a hivemind state where they 100% live by the bible either. You say christian views on the poor and yet you brought up the christian views simply so that you could discuss them, no one else did in this thread.

Well here is my career: restaurant cook, restaurant manager, insurance salesperson, walgreens clerk, healthcare software sales, digital media sales director, document imaging sales manager.

That's a lot of different fields. We'd have loved to have some overqualified people at each job.

Uh Christian values are primarily concerned with the poor, bringing up his faith is relevant to the topic.

Again... assuming my intentions. I guess now you've gone off the deep end and started raging it's hard for you to admit you may have overreacted. You made it part of the conversation by going on a mad rant over a single tongue-in-cheek comment about the incongruity of OP's beliefs.

you stated your intentions, that doesnt mean i believe you. You deflect any time anyone is critical of your slander of religion. Its a weekly occurrence. If you at least stood up and admitted it in the face of conflict i could respect that. Even if by some stretch you found it a relevant topic (which i still disagree with) it was an obvious attempt to derail the conversation to one that you find more interesting.



Most careers requiring a 4 year degree will not hire someone with a master's degree because of the future compensation that that persons qualifications require. If youre talking simply about people with masters degrees not being willing to work at mcdonalds (which likely would hire someone down on there luck with a masters degree) i agree, but i dont like the statement:

Everyone keeps saying "the OP is Christian, believes XYZ." I have no opinion at all of religion and am not religious at all... not sure if i'm just being trolled.

Fuck my life. Could you be any more dense?



My bad. Musta got you mixed up with another mediator.

If we want to be real here, most Christians do not like gay people, maybe they don't "hate" them, but you're fooling yourself if you don't think they at least do not like them.


EDIT -- What's with the Che shirt hate? I think I've seen maybe one or two in the last few years and part of that has been living in fucking Southern California. Why do people always need to invent this antagonistic group of people to trash on?



Yeah, well, they aren't, and frankly it wouldn't work if everyone was. You may see those jobs as stepping stones or platforms to something greater but people work those jobs for a very long time and some put value elsewhere in their lives, it isn't all about material, you know.



I know, it's not like we have a massive fucking military, huge amounts of interest paid on debt, amounts given as subsides or anything like that, it's because the government helps the poor so much.

Ok after rereading your posts i see how you can see it as a relevant issue, i did jump the gun there. I wont let go that it was an obvious attempt to derail the conversation however, especially in the hindsight that the OP isnt even religious.
