dlamberth said:Catholics are Christians, your saying that they are not, not I.
For myself, to feed the soul of another is to be loving and compassionate to them. It's giving them a hearing ear, a giving heart, a loving presence, a helping hand.

awitch said:I believe the response would have been the same if he was Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, or any other religion if he started proselytizing.
My point is Catholics claim to be Christian.
If one was no longer into "Save the Planet", and went to give to a Green Earth charity would they be put off by a pamphlet regarding recycling?
What if the man was just wanting to inform her that no it would be impossible to believe that she left a faith that claims you can not leave if you were never apart to begin with.
The OP brought on the conversation, not the man.

A slight correction please. I said that there is a Christian Charity in the form of a Catholic Church that I do give to because they give and feed the poor with no strings attached. Their agenda is helping the poor and those in need.Dlamberth said they don't donate to Christian charities, only Catholic Charities. My point is Catholics claim to be Christian.
Sorry, I'm not seeing how this relates.If one was no longer into "Save the Planet", and went to give to a Green Earth charity would they be put off by a pamphlet regarding recycling?
She felt that she was being proselyted to. I suspect that I'd feel the same. Like the OP, I also left the Christian faith. I find myself very suspicious of any group asking for Charity Donations with any strings attached. In this case its their willingness to use the Charity angle to pull in people in order to proselytize. With that as a sign, one wonders what happens on the flip side to the people they help.The point is the OP made it a point to let the man know she thought she was a Christian and has left the faith, prior to donating. What if the man was just wanting to inform her that no it would be impossible to believe that she left a faith that claims you can not leave if you were never apart to begin with.
The man used the opportunity to proselytize, not the OP.The OP brought on the conversation, not the man.
dlamberth talks about Love, Compassion and Giving to others in need. Hopefully your able to find a way to bring these ideals into the conversation as well. They are the kinds of things that help to make us a more human, Human Being.This according to Dlamberth is loving, and I agree it would be loving.
awitch said:Yes, they are.
That's not analogous to the OP's scenario.
Never get tired of the "No true Scottsman"?
Then he would have been exceptionally rude and arrogant to make that judgement call to the face of a person he did not even know, especially if the OP was the one doing him the favor by donating.
Irrelevant.
Is the OP a Hindu?Originally Posted by Mythunderstood
You still didn't answer my question. Why would you not ask a Hindu the same question?

Mythunderstood said:I see that you are deflecting again, and not answering the question. If I asked why you would not ask a Hindu the same question as the op (an unbeliever), then it is clear that the op is not a Hindu.
For the third time:
Why would you ask an unbeliever "why would it bother you to lie," but not ask a Hindu, for example, the same question?

Sure I can ask a Hindu the same question.
Mythunderstood said:Why is it so hard for you to answer a simple question? I did not ask you whether or not you "could" ask a Hindu the same question! We have already established in post #39 that you would not ask a Hindu the same question. My question again for the 4th time is:
Why would you ask an unbeliever "why would it bother you to lie," but not ask a Hindu, for example, the same question?
Because she was a Christian, and is an unbeliever now. I wanted to know where she stood and why moral character matters still.
Mythunderstood said:I got that, but again......WHY would you not ask a Hindu the same question???
Because clearly a Hindu is an unbeliever.
I don't get why leaving the Christian faith has anything to do with your question. Christians aren't the only ones around who have moral character.I wanted to know where she stood and why moral character matters still.
Eyes wide Open said:Maybe you could explain why it is so clear?
Sure they are. They are just different than you is all.Because clearly a Hindu is an unbeliever.
I will as once I understand the question.
