Smile Would you like to know the benefits of being a Christian?


[mod: funny how this guy KNOWS it's spam, when he even prefaces his post with "save this somewhere as it may be deleted]

I'm a Christian myself (have been since May of 1999), and I will tell you that a proper Christian would post this where it is topical, and not where it is not topical. A post like this might be welcome in General but certainly not in a technical forum where posting guidelines are extremely clear.

Posting topics like this where they are a) not topical and b) not welcome and c) prohobited will only serve to harden hearts to those who are not receptive to Jesus Christ at this point in their lives. You're only giving unbelievers fuel to say "See those Christians, they're such hypocrites - they tell me not to sin and yet they cannot follow even simple rules themselves." - and you know what? It's sad but true: they're absolutely right.

Sheesh.

What's wrong with you people?
This is a Linux - Newbie forum.
If you search the net you'll find a thousand forums about religions.
At least say something about jesux or Christan linux cd, Linux for Christians. You may contribute here Need Christian Linux expert for faith based volunteer project, but please post about something related to linux or at least computers.
I'm sick and tired of christian propaganda.

Moved to general, definitely NOT a Linux question...
... and everybody else:
Please keep it down, reporting it is good enough,
abstain from abuse or swearing.
