To himself. Thats when it becomes faith. Athiests are always proving their faith too. We are all free to choose for ourselves.

Funny, I was the opposite. I embraced that at the tender age of 8 when my dad first handed me a can of PBR.
Like you, I also started acquiring a certain degree of resentment toward those who came before, but that stemmed from a feeling of disrespect and not being taken seriously. That’s not something I want to do to anyone else. Ask, and I’ll help. Tell a story, I’ll listen, and critique after. All I ask of anyone is that they give an honest effort at proficiency in the job which they are paid for, so I don’t have to do it. If you can at least do that, it’s a good start.Sirscrapntruckalot, REO6205 and TripleSix Thank this. -
"Have you figured out what you did wrong?"
This is what my Sgt asked me when I ran headlong into a domestic fight. White knighting it, I put the guy down to save the lady and the lady hit me so hard that she loosened all of my teeth. Sarge walks up, pops her right between the eyes and drops her. Have you figured out what you did wrong? He let my dumb arse run into a domestic and didn't warn me. Well, I never did that again. Everything is educational. Even getting your head knocked off.
I find that's the best way to approach the Young Guns. If you talk down to them, they will only close their ears. Let em run in be first me me me, POP. Help em up and ask them about their education. "Have you figured out what went wrong?" A decent kid will learn. Stupid won't. As soon as you realize a person is stupid, you have to do the social distancing, because the Stupid Virus is the most contagious, deadliest virus ever.tommymonza, Brandonpdx, kemosabi49 and 3 others Thank this. -
No worries; I have nothing but respect for those who are on this thread with a different perspective. I sense they feel the same and so am still hanging around here with my fellow truckers.
My best friend is a Missouri Christian who voted for the guy with the orange hair and grew up on a farm. I was born in DC, college educated tree-hugger, voted for Hillary, and living in Washington state for many years. Even though we are social opposites we discuss political and religious ideology for hours at a time without losing one inch of friendship.
Isn't that the way the world is supposed to work? I've always thought that if the world was faced with an enemy that threatened our annihilation we would all forget all the philosophy that daily divides us and rally under the flag of humanity.
Deep down we are all from the same family. You see evidence of THAT belief right now as our front line warriors--aka health care professionals--who bravely risk their lives to save those they have never met simply because they are human beings. Beautiful, eh? -
