Sometimes people need help coping with life, and sometimes those people happen to be Christian and would like advice or help from someone with similair beliefs. Why the outcry?

If you don't like chicken, don't go to KFC for lunch.

KFC keeps knocking on my door and demanding that I eat an eight-piece combo.

Should I drive a steak through their hearts?

<BR><BR>:roll: close minded flaming troll :|
Close minded huh? Mind telling me how exactly? All I said was that I don't understand what this is or the reasoning behind it. Much like Physics for Christians.........it's just silly. Seems to me it's a way for people to prey(pun intended) on people who need help and also happen to be Christian.

How is it closed-minded?
He is asking people what it is to find out about it, rather that assuming it's total BS.
If you ask me, that's 100% the opposite of being closed minded, unlike some of the earlier posters, who just said "It's bullshit".

So, er, only Christians can have morals then?

I think they just thought Sociology and Psychology are worthless ;)
They just didn't want to say so outright :p

Steak or stake?
Steak would be the ultimate irony for KFC.

Maybe you need some non-religious therapy, before you can take on something more serious. Not a flame, just a suggestion based on your seemingly lack of ability to get along with others.
