What's with the Jesus skywriting?

[orljustin]

Yes, God is on our money. God is on our money because people like the skywriter decided it should be there. Not our forefathers.

Bingo.

The next time you're in Disney (our common love on the DIS boards) and you gety a hankerin for a yummy Mickey bar.....or a turkey Leg (Note: I am in no way implying that you should prefer sweet over salty. You have the right to prefer whichever you choose. Perhaps you are a vegetarian..so forget about that turkey leg. If by some chance you are lactose intolerant, then forget the Mickey bar too... Water, yes let's say that you are buying bottled water).

Okay, so you're buying some water and you whip out a dollar bill to pay...alright it is Disney, so you probably need a five. So you whip out a five......PLEASE do not flip that bill over and read the four words on the back. Don't do it. Just don't. Don't think a ten is safe, or a twenty...it's everywhere man. Just use a credit card.

If you should have to use any American currency though..remember...no flipping over. If you do, and the offense is so great that it causes you to look up and shout "Good Lord"..um.. I mean "Good.....ness", or maybe "golly gee"..you know what, let's just say that you exclaim "Why??!!". Please close your eyes while you lament. Cause that guy might fly right over and offend you double. It would be a double offense. That could ruin it all right there...a whole trip to Disney down the drain.

Chill, MosMom...
It was meant to give folks on both sides a chuckle. Jeez. Too heavy. And getting heavier.

Different is okay. Nothing wrong with people loving their own beliefs.

No matter how hard you try, you won't convert them. And they won't convert you. Do you really have so much time to devote to hostility? Does anyone?

Just have a bottled water & relax.

Don't waste time & brain cells stewing over a snappy reply. Just enjoy your day.

Lorelai, there is a small pack here that smelled fresh meat when you posted. Be strong.

I don't think the forefathers are working at the Dept. of Engraving.

When I alluded to the forefathers, it was in reference to documents like the Declaration of Independence which are occasionally displayed in Federal buildings. And the Declaration was written by our forefathers... I think... Unless you consider Samuel Adams to be just a dude who endorses beer.

Anyhoo...I think the Declaration mentions you know who....

I'm good. No anger...just a lot of tolerence. Even for some testy folks. They have a right to say what they believe. We all do. I just don't want any of my fellow DISers to spontaneously combust because they can't calm down. Ahhhh, now for that nap.

I personally have found some comments here made towards Christians just as insulting in just the same way you find the skywriting insulting. To me, insulting Christians by saying some imaginary deity is my friend is just as insulting as some prostylizing Christian to some of you all. You may not think it, but you are telling me I am wrong, and you are right. Sound familiar.

I'd like to see how many times a skywriter could get away with writing ALL HAIL SATAN above WDW without getting shutdown. It's graffiti no matter what the message is.

Would you consider it graffiti if it were a marriage proposal? (I don't know if that question was already asked since I didn't read most of the thread).

If it said ALL HAIL SATAN, I think I'd be a little freaked out. I stated that earlier.

In all fairness, if it said "ALL HAIL SATAN" it would still be freedom of speech, but it would probably irritate a larger percentage of the population and I'm sure someone would find a way to put an end to it.

Yes, I asked about a marriage proposal or eat at joe's. Whatever is up there would not bother me. Seeing all hail satan would not change any of my belief systems in any way. I stand firm in my faith. But by firm, I do not mean stagnant. As time goes on and I study the Word more, I find a broadening of the biblical concept of who I think He is and what He can do. I believe that God is bigger than I can ever possibly imagine, when he begins to seem small I study more. Seems as soon as I can find an answer to one of my questions, He opens a door to another question to search.

I take a nap and the thread moved like lighting!


Mwaah! Ha! Ha! That's just what I need. An imaginary stalker. Cue the scary music!

I don't need to read your religious drivel any longer. You and the skywriter are two peas in a huge pod of arrogant Christians who don't care if I want to hear "the word" of your God. You're going to shove it down my throat with "love".

There was thread a month or two ago about how silly it is to tell someone when you put them on "ignore". Sorry, I just can't help it.

*plonk*
​

Electronically sticking my fingers in my ears. La la la la la la la la I can't hear you. And I won't listen to you again until you have something reasonable to say.

I have to admit that made me chuckle! You don't have to read my posts anymore! I am not holding you hostage, you are not being forced to read this, nor are you forced to read what is in the sky. There are ads in the paper and in magazines that I skip over all the time and do not bother to read because they are offensive to me. Every time you look into the sky... each cloud, the sun, the beautiful stars,... God made them. His presence is everywhere. I hope everytime you see a bird or look into the sky you are reminded of God's love for you. Is love real? How can that be? It is an attribute of God. You are a loving person, I can tell by your signature! You love and care about children. You mean you and God could have something in common?

I leave for two hours, and this turns into some gay debate?

The point is, that "Gay Luv" and "Jesus Loves You" can be annoying to different people. A gay atheist would feel differently than your typical Christian.

Actually, I'd prefer neither. I don't want to discuss sexual issue with my children just yet, and I don't particularly want them believing in imaginary deities. To each his own.

Just because you think God is imaginary, does not make it so. He is not threatened by your unbelief! In fact He knows you so well, He knows every little question you have about life and its purpose. The answers are in the BIBLE! Even if you think it is fiction, the Bible is recognized as great literature. You cannot scare Him away or wish Him away. He loves you!

Agreeing with Robin here. [Sticks fingers in ears] Ah, much better!

While I think this guy has every right to do what he does by writing these messages in the sky, I also have the right to believe it's incredibly tacky. Does he think that I am going to see that in the sky and suddenly want to be saved? All I am going to think is that it's a shame he's wasting his money on that and not on helping the needy.

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

On the subject of asking God to fix the wrongs in your life and how prayer answers your troubles (eventually I assume since according to one post you may have to wait..lol)..

I think prayer is all good and fine if that is what you believe. I'm a Christian, even though my "level" of Christianity would be certainly questioned by some on this thread. I believe in God. Am I angry at why some things turned out the way they did - like watching my wife suffer on a daily basis knowing that she will never have a pain free day again? Hell, yeah. But we are not going to sit on our butts and wait for God to answer a prayer to make our life better. As far as I am concerned, God helps those who help themselves.
