Some here take themselves WAY too seriously.
Nice touch of pile on with larry and the Christian bashing comments too bro.
The attitude towards Christians is amazing. The reality is calling yourself a Christian or a Barbecuer for that matter shows no degree success. Some call themselves BBQ's and can't barely cook while others are more successful at it like Chef Paul Kirk. When I tell you I am a Christian I'm automaticly compared and held up to the standards of a Billy Grahmn. I'm no Billy Grahmn but I am sincere about my faith and am forgiven. I'm not seeking God cus I'm perfect I'm seeking God because I am not.
Some of ya'll are ramping this up to mess with me and to get my goat but you are doing far more.
Enjoy yer fun but remember who you are actually insulting. If it's still funny when you meet the maker then good for you. But I fear for you He won't think it's funny.
peace and prayers

Mike, I promise this will be my last reply to this. If you take it as insulting, then so be it.
This is a BBQ Forum. We are all adults. We all kid and joke and poke fun at one another. Sometimes it gets out of hand, especially on topics that people are passionate about. We all believe in something, whether it's religion, foiling our BBQ or putting cold meat on the smoker etc. We're all going to disagree on stuff. The world is not perfect. We're all entitled to our own opinions about whatever we want believe in or do something the way we want to do it.
I'm not bashing you or your religion, I'm poking fun at you. Just as people do me with the "Aqua Noggin" jokes, the "fat bastard" jokes, the "wheelchair" jokes, etc. Some of the members here are close personal friends of mine. EVERY DAMN ONE of them make fun of me in one way or the other whether I like it or not everyday! When they stop joking with me is when I will be concerned.
My point is, I mean this in a nice way..........YOU are taking things said on this board waaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously and just need to lighten up a bit. I honestly don't think there's an intentionally mean, hurtful person on this board (besides Finney). I honestly think you're out of line telling us who we're going to be answering to one day "in the end" because of something that is said on this board.
I'm done, hope you don't take this as a personal bashing or a religous bashing, because it's not. I'm being honest and trying to calm the waters. I think we can all agree on one thing, we all love BBQ and are passionate about it!
