[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2788471, member: 9374"] I love it. "What, me? Stir the pot? I was just asking a simple, honest question." lol People are funny. And my post about Jesse Venturism made people think I was mad? lol See, most of these posts here I have read as counter but pointed, calm and respectful from the "Christian" side... yet the "non-Christian" side (yes, I know, I'm making up labels for convenience' sake) have been pointing out from the get-go how those posts are the opposite - saying that we're mad, defensive, argumentative, etc. Nothing's going to change, people... stop using THIS board to stir religious debate. We KNOW you don't respect religion, or Christianity, or God, or even your fellow members of faith - because you think we're stupid or delusional. Ok, cool, fine. Stop trying to push the issue. Live and let live? Why must we re-hash these same old tired positions time after time after time, just to stir forum activity? Are we that [B]desperate [/B]these days for any kind of passion in our interactions? I mean, really.... come on. There's even a religious/non-religious section of THIS board, and countless other theology/religion/whatever boards out there, and yet we must STILL try to stir controversy on THIS board? On the MAIN page, where this has been done ad nauseum and the board owner has made it clear he doesn't want this kind of thing degenerating into argument time and time again??? I suppose, if you just can't help yourself, then carry on. <sigh>. And no, I'm not mad, I'm not being a jerk, I'm just pointing out the absolutely totally obvious, to me - that this is the same thing as always, and that no one is [B]genuinely [/B]seeking [B]anything [/B]about religion or God - merely seeking, if anything, the means to understand their fellow board members' delusional nature. That's how I see it. Doesn't matter to me - my faith and life isn't based on anyone else's acceptance or understanding. I've seen more death and suffering than most on this board, I would expect, but that has dissuaded my faith in no way. Oh well. Carry on, there's nothing here for me, sadly. [/QUOTE]
