Is it possible you hate them so much because you can't read/don't understand them?

i can't read. but even if i could i couldn't possibly comprehend the complexity and deep-rooted messages that all carress the human spirit and soul within the epic pages of.........what a minute; what were we talkin about again?

I don't sit here and insult what you like to your face.
If someone likes something you don't like, let that be that.
I happen to love HP very much, but I could care less for LotR. A VERY few gave a shat about it before it was made into a movie. I'm one of the FEW FEW who didn't like it then and still continues to not. That is my personal preference; I will NOT sit here and bash you or it. Maybe that's just me being considerate. :notsure:
no i think it's you just not havin any fun. bash away. it's just a message board. don't worry about my feelings. i'm a tough cookie.

Just to clarify, the Pope was/is planning a trip to Turkey, but wasn't there when he said this.
I understand what you're saying. I majored in Biology so I took my fair share of hits for being a Christian and a scientist. To me it makes sense... hard to study the complexity of life and not believe in a "creator" but that's a different subject...
The church has done things in the past to be ashamed of (like persecuting us poor Baptists
) but we've got to move beyond the occurences of hundreds of years ago.
Like I said earlier, I'm glad the Pope said what he did. I think we need a lot more of it. The dark little secret that no one wants to talk about is that Christianity and Islam can't coexist. That's according to Islam.
Take for instance the nun who was murdered. Did Catholics start burning down mosques and demanding muslims apologize?
Imho, it's time people got off the fence. Religion is more than going to church on holidays and fire insurance. Being a Christian has nothing to do with what church your grandparents went too. The Bible is pretty clear on what being a Christian means. The Koran is pretty clear on how "infidels" should be treated and what are acceptable violent methods to spread Islam.
As I said, they can't coexist.

why thank you.
not too into stuff that's oreo flavored and here's why: you only get the chocolate flavor, not the filling. and it's a cheap bitter chocolate. yet oreos themselves are still great because they're fun to eat. the filling is what truely makes the oreo, not the chocolate. otherwise they wouldn't have Double Stuff. course they don't make any versions with extra cookie. why? cause it's a crummy cheap chocolate flavor. it also promotes communism so WATCH OUT!!

lmao, what's with you and communism?
and just fyi, oreos are only good when dipped in milk. When you do that, the chocolate cookie part melts away (if you do it right), and you're basically left with the filling. It's awesome! and the oreo creme pie tastes more like the filling than the cookie, therefore, by your standards, you'd like the pie.

very good point Jen. also, you save time from drinking milk cause the cheap cookie usually harnesses adequate cow juice during the dunk.
