Are you god? Didn't think so. No....although im not god either so I could be wrong. Why should it be anyones business what or how other people live their lives. That's the problen with this world...everyone wants to live everyone elses life but their own.

I believe at the end of the day everyone is accountable to God for their actions.

I dunno if its a prerogative, I aint sure I know what it means (even less how to spell it, but I got copy and paste.) But we certainly got a *right* to ask that members follow their own rules afore tell us that we are wrong.'specially when they are prosti...prosytu...pobably... evangelizing. Proselytizing! (http://onelook.com over a thousand online dictionaries serched while you wait. Even a reverse look up,give the definition, find the word.) Now that I think on we do have a prerr... we got a duty to test them, in all senses of 'test' and 'duty' ( see that one look place.) I think we got a duty to ask questions about things that is easy to spell, no pregotives, evengizers, prolystyles, or even squirells.So... hey, it wasn't really a question at all, was it? I agree.

It is NOT a prerogative (defined: 1) An exclusive right or privilege held by a person or group, especially a hereditary or official right. See Synonyms at right. 2) The exclusive right and power to command, decide, rule, or judge: the principal's prerogative to suspend a student. 3) A special quality that confers superiority. It's a CHOICE. It's also not the right or business of anyone not of that religion to hold ANYONE to account for adherance to the tenets of that religion. I assume you're complaining about the radical athiest who is "trying to make people think" about it (read: convert Christians to Atheism). While they have a right to ask YOU about YOUR beliefs, they have NO RIGHT to say anything about HOW you follow your religion, ESPECIALLY since they don't believe in it. Only those who do have that right, and even then, only the minister/preacher/priest/rabbi/leader should have that ... "prerogative". Ignore him/her. ;-)
