I sure do. My opinion, and I'm entitled to it. "A story that needed to be told." I don't think so. I can live without religion in every facet of my life, especially when it comes to car forums. Save it for your church group.

And I'm glad you are entitled to it......its called FREEDOM of Speech!

I live in America. I have the right to write whatever I want. And it's equaled by another right just as powerful: the right not to read it. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend people.......Brad Thor

...and I would NOT have read it if you gave warning of religious content. I really tire of people that force religion onto others.

Answer three questions for me please:
1. Did you enjoy the story up to the point it mentioned religion?
2. How did I FORCE religion on you?
3. Did you take time to read any of my other articles that have NO religious content?

Why should I have given a "warning" of religious content?

Thanks for answering my questions!

Do what you have to do......but as my mother use to say, if you don't like what you are watching.....change the channel!

It's my article and I stand firmly behind it..........you are in the minority my friend!

Then put me in the minority as well. That seemed more like the story about a father raising his son to be religious by leveraging his passion for a car. Personally, I think putting the "3:23" thing on the car is dumb as hell...

Ok....refer to quote above "I'm glad you are entitled to it......its called FREEDOM of Speech"!

Of the 297 folks who have read the article so far (tracking on my blog), you are the only two who have been outraged at me telling the story as it was told to me.......religion or not, it shows the love of a father for his son and how he set some goals for him to strive for and its not the same goals you would have set for your son, then just keep it to yourself!!

Someone sounds intolerant of others opinions. What a surprise!

Do I need to further explain the irony in your post?

I never said I was outraged...it's just a ****ty story.

And how would that be me being intolerant? I told you that you had a right to voice your opinion......and you did, then you were refusing to answer my questions and immediately tried to have the thread moved or lock it down! Now who is intolerant?

LMAO! As oppose to those who are not religious shoving your anti-faint down everyone else's throat?

How is reading something that has religion in it shoving religion down your throat? Get over yourself. Honestly.
Oh no. It mentioned the Bible! GASP! It MUST mean the story is shoving region down your throat! Open wide! LOL!
