You gotta do what your comfortable with.... Only you can decide where your line is. I don't have a problem with attitude or skulls or Billy Hell... Folks gotta find their own way. I have a much bigger problem with judgmental Christians that try to tell folks how to live. I serve a loving God that wants to have a relationship with me. He also tells me to be salt and light to the world.... How are we gonna do that is we restrict ourselves to only doing things with church folks? Food for thought.

It seems you may have connected some dots that are not part of the picture. My avatar for instance has nothing to do with what you think. It is merely a takeoff of the word numbskull substituting thumbs (what RC planes are controlled with). As a Christian, should you only hang around with already converted fellows? Jesus did not ever say or imply that followers should only congregate with other followers. If that was the case, you would never have any new Christians. You have to go where the non-Christians are to have any chance of spreading the faith. Read Mark 6:1-13 and Acts 16 where this is covered in the bible. There are plenty of Christian Bro's but not very many are vocal about it.

Well Said Thumbskull. It's all about free will. We have to make our own choices before our maker.

Hello fellas, my name is John Litz and I am new here,however I have enjoied listening to the conversations. I was raised in the church and experienced first hand what most of these conversations are about. I think most of us will be shocked when we shut our eyes for the last time as many of us will never fully understand Godliness. I believe God loves us more than we will ever be able to love and with that said, I am sure God has a place for us that far surpases anything we will see here on earth. Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts and I hope to talk to you soon again.
Your Friend, John.....

Nosedive,
as a fellow Christian too, I have to ask, are you boycotting everything that is not associated with Christian living? Example... are you brushing your teeth with Crest toothpaste? Crest supports gay rights. What are you washing your clothes with. Tide also supports gay rights. I could go on but I just saying, there are a lot of things out there that do not support Christian living. If we started to really dig deep, we would find that most things we buy from companies do not support churches and things spiritual. Infact... most (95%) do not. I like to go to college football games, shoot pool and go to restraunts that serve alcohol but doesn't mean I have to partake. Same for the Pro Bro's. I have been part of the organization for two years now. I know quite a few of them and most of them are great people. Remember Jesus and what He did when he would go into the cities? He would go where people were socializing and doing things of the time. He rarely went to quiet places to be alone. He came to serve, not to be served. Not criticizing you man but just remember we all have faults. We all fall short and we always should be looking for a way to serve.
RC Mike
