Miz point wrote:Amazing, these interpretations of whatever.....this is why I believe religion is flawed....way too open to interpretation which can be skewed any way to suit the individual's particular needs.

BTW Edwin no one implied that being religious makes one horrible. What is horrible are the misdeeds committed in the name of whatever deity....that is horrible. What may be humour to you comes across as a pity seeking gesture as in "poor me but the atheists are slagging me again"......remember, nobody slagged you personally in that other thread. Profess your faith all you like but be prepared to run into viewpoints that may not jibe with yours.

btw some of those "woman" jokes are pretty demeaning and while they may seem harmless, they can contain very nasty and hateful undertones....or reinforce outdated stereotypes. Walk a mile in my Pradas and you would understand my reasoning. It can get rather tiresome being lumped into "bitch" categories simply because one has chosen to live outside the box. Add to that the very personal struggles that some of us are going through, gender specificity notwithstanding, and it is easy to see how one needs to have a thick skin because there is a lot of hating and baiting out there. Sometimes that can be pretty goddamned energy-draining when one has little to spare.
