  • I had no idea this would spark so much discussion. It's really not that big a deal to me.

    One thing I think we all can agree on here: We all have to have an attitude of acceptance and tolerance for each others positions, especially when it comes to religion and politics.

    The Biznik community is a very diverse group of people with a common desire and goal to grow our businesses together. Mutual respect for each other is really the fundamental piece that makes it all work.

  • Seems to me that God has a great sense of humor. It explains so much. "equal opportunity irreverence" is a great way to approach life, and this case may fit that definition. There is a difference, IMO, of irreverence and mockery. Irreverence is pointing out humankind's silly interpretations of God and what religions think God means. Mockery is making fun of God himself. That's NOT okay with me. That's why it left me squeamish. I'm not sure if it crosses that line.

    But anybody who takes this whole pray OR network thing too seriously should....well...pray about it. (irony intended).

  • Congrats on the new member sign ups, Dan!

    "...Biznik is the place where you can take action that has an immediate impact on your own economic picture, rather than waiting for outside forces to do it..."

    Perhaps "as well as utilizing" instead of "rather than waiting for" is more appropriate. I'm all for action. But I'll take all the help God wants to rain down on me too!

  • I didn't mean to say I thought it was intentional. And I guess "provocative" is a good way to describe it.

    I just kinda frowned inside when I perceived the message as being "either or" instead of "and" Amazing how much difference the word "AND" vs. "OR" can make!

    Cheers AND God Bless!
