Oh heavens!

And duh - by your works! Duh! How you live your life. How you treat others. How you don't force your will and judgements on everyone else.

Sigh.

Does faith - or a good moral compass need a sign to be waved? Is it likely that if you're saying "I have faith! I have faith!" that the quote that comes to mind is "the lady doth protest too much."

First...I agree with the Takezu's 2nd paragraph, but let me explain more of what the issue is.

One of the tenants of the young man's religion is to keep sabbath on Sunday. Another young member wants to move the park day to Sunday. When it has been Discussed, the 2nd young man will not accept the faith of the 1st and has been pushing on him.

Now, while MY personal belief system does not include sabbath, good works, ect... the first young man has impressed me with how he stands by his faith and does NOT thrust it upon everyone else in the group as the 2nd young man has attempted to do.

Thanks for the background on the quote.

Just a friendly reminder the rant was not directed at any person(s), Parks or Amtgarder.

It was a completely non amtgard post.

Yup, I'm cool with that.

PS...Not that you need my permission, but you SHOULD write about whatever you want...its YOUR journal.
