some people who are real Christians can be easily offended by some posts. people should consider every ones views are different. whether the person is Christian or not. posts need to be considerate of all people.

Religious groups of all persuasions seem to be pretty thin skinned when it comes to criticism of their own beliefs.

Mark Twain said "Faith is believing what you know ain't so."smile

Sorry Mutt, Politics and Religion are not to be discussed on this forum, so I won't make a comment. (tongue in cheek)

The other day, I asked a group of relo's "What would the world be like today if there had never been any religion of any type?" Some interesting replies!
Your thoughts?

I would assume the majority aren't religious, but would probably have some christian values - eg: helping a neighbour in a spot of bother - and not stealing their camping chair or bbq.
Can't spend our lives worrying about every word we say, we're becoming too politically correct, and many say Victoria is fast becoming a nanny State.

If some "real" Christian people are so concerned about being offended perhaps they should confine themselves to the Methodist or Catholic websites and not mix with the heathens on the Grey Nomads.

I always thought that religion of any persuasion was about tolerance towards others. 

I find it amazing that people come here and bang on about Muslims not being "Australian" yet the same people bang on about Christians being "offended".

Take your religion to the church or mosque, not the Grey Nomads

Thanks everyone for your input on this but I think I will close it now.  Although I understand that the OP was trying to relay a message of tolerance, we do not allow discussions about religion as they always lead to bad feelings.
