In this germaphobic world we live in now [Spirituality & Religion]

@Sissycindysue: if I went to church I would insist that the wafers were individually wrapped if the priest didn't wear gloves...priests pee and have germs

@Fernie: they also wash their hands after they use the facilities I hope I don't drink that wine either

@Sissycindysue: there's no guarantee

@Fernie: have a little faith

@Sissycindysue: I'm told Atheists don't have faith in anything

@Fernie: oh I'm sure that some have faith in something such as the human Spirit of survival or The Human Condition

@Sissycindysue: how very rational and healthy that comment is. Yes, I have faith in many things.....some religious folks cannot grasp that

@Fernie: there's Faith In Hope and Dreams and goals and charity and kindness and Faith it we as human beings haven't forgotten any of that

@Sissycindysue: Today I heard a Nun..a progressive Nun...say, RE: Homosexuality " there are 3 passages in the bible that speak of homosexuality and 300 that speak of taking care of others...why aren't we talking about the 300??"

@Fernie: because it's easier to hate Than Love pretty simple

@Sissycindysue: sad but true

Hey I know song called that sad but true LOL

@Sissycindysue: metallica?

@Fernie: hahaha yes, I was just trying to lighten the conversation a little bit

@Sissycindysue: and you did a splendid job of it !!!

@Fernie: good I'm glad I made you smile :-) you seem like you needed a smile

@Sissycindysue: That's kind of you...I didn't need a smile though...funny how easy it is to attach feelings to typed words...that's often a problem online. What I did get was a delightful and civilized discussion re: religion. I am usually a real hothead about it. Are you a teacher by chance?

@Fernie: no just a very well-read person but I do appreciate the compliment thank you, actually when I was young and in school I butted heads with teachers very often
