My book is full of historical secrets, history demonstrates billions of people did not guess the news, perhaps it was over their heads or they were too busy taking a ride.

No one is perfect, now are they? Christians, atheists, any belief. Getting along would be a good first step instead of picking apart the "Christians" and how we act. We like to play and have fun just like any other human. Carry on. I'm neither Christian nor atheist, dear. and I do tend to get along with anyone, regardless of their own beliefs, so long as they do not try to shove their beliefs and opinions down my throat. my signature line before the current one was something to the effect that religion is like genitalia - keep it to yourself unless invited to share the fun. Would that apply to politics and all other topics discussed here, where people curse and argue? I see it on every thread. Any grown up should have the right to choose what conversation interests them in a respectable manner. I don't think anyone is trying to shove anything down anyone's throat.

"keep it to yourself unless invited to share the fun. " If you were roaming the boards and found a thread asking if you would like to have some fun, would it be open to opinion?

Your ride is built on a belief that I do not share, further extrapolation is unnecessary surely ??
eh ?

And you have never been known to keep a "secret"...

As usual, you walk completely around the question... You're belief/ride could easily be as true as I believe mine to be "The problem with the world today is that fools and radicals are always so sure of themselves, while wiser people are so full of doubt"

"keep it to yourself unless invited to share the fun. " If you were roaming the boards and found a thread asking if you would like to have some fun, would it be open to opinion? you and femme have taken my former signature line out of context, I fear. neither of you know me very well as a poster, and I'd like to point out that I am perfectly happy to have an objective discussion about religion and the finer details of any in particular, inasmuch as I am familiar enough to speak intelligently about one. as far as me mentioning that signature line, please re-read the post where I mentioned it. I said that I tend to get along with believers and non-believers alike, provided they do not try to convert me. no insults were meant, and if offense was taken, I apologize for you misreading my comment.

Good evening Moonbeam,
The arguments between Rick and my good self have nothing to do with this thread or any other, even the briefest glance at both posting histories would confirm this.
Rick has openly admitted to stalking me, he is trolling me and very badly may I say, I understood this site frowned upon trolls.
Your solution is for me to ignore him, I have an alternative solution, you do your job and tell him to stop trolling me.
I find your reasoning behind closing this thread to be quite baffling, Rick is rarely on it but to make a personal jibe at me.
Read back and tell me I am wrong.

I took no offense, none what so ever... Perhaps you misunderstood my question, and if you were offended by it, I apoligize...

This is precisely what I mean about following Christ but not his teachings. No one is perfect, that is true. However, if you had "done unto me as you would have me do unto you," I wouldn't be on your ignore list and none of this stupidity would have taken place. I'm all for "getting along," and I despise petty flame wars no matter how I might participate in them. I still stand by my belief that popularity and favoritism brought this all to a head, and I get really tired of people who pretend to be light-hearted and filled with love - only to have them bite your head off the moment you fall out of line. It's just so .... deceitful.
This isn't about how "Christians" act, it's about how YOU act. Religion has very little to do with it.

I know it can be bothersome but perhaps just ignore the ones that really push your buttons, maybe even feel sorry for them. I know that you know getting down to their level is not a good place to be. Just a thought.

I think we'll get along great though

Ahem....tap....tap....tap, I answered your question, your supplementary statement does not alter this fact, why you believe it should is beyond me.
The problem today is fools and radicals doubt the obvious and believe the unwise.

What do you mean by "similar"? I mean that if there continues to be fighting between Rick and Tosh, any thread they carry it to will also be shut down until I can have Virgil FORCE them to ignore each other. I'd prefer they act like adults, however.

religion should be treated like your private parts....don't show it off in public and don't shove it down anyone's throat who isn't interested.....
;D
Shirina, I know exactly where you are coming from in regards to this thread. One side refuses to realize how condescending and rude they are to anyone who doesn't bow down at their altar of choice & then they run to another thread and whine about how cruel those that won't bow down are to them & their beliefs. They never see that if they hadn't been so dismissive and rude in regards to what someone else believes, then most of what they whine about would have never happened.
I saw one recently, whining about how someone said God didn't exist and how cruel and mean that was towards them.....but they never put it together that they had just finished preaching about how ONLY their God existed & then dismissed & belittled the offense someone of a different religious belief took with that statement.

I've lost all "faith" in you, youngster... You are one of the few I've encountered on these boards who has failed to "evolve" over the years... We have terrible winds and it's suppose to snow tonight so I'd better go make sure we are ready for it all... I'll check back from time to time to check your progress... Take care Little buddy

I know it can be bothersome but perhaps just ignore the ones that really push your buttons, maybe even feel sorry for them. I know that you know getting down to their level is not a good place to be. Just a thought. The same could go for You and JA, Shirina. You think you 2 aren't snarky in the least? I come on here every morning and say hello. Where does that fit in the category of coming down to a level? Pot/kettle? I saw right away how as soon as a debate came up about God, you were right on my skirttail snipping like a chihuahua...That's why you are on ignore along with a few others. It's not about stooping down to another level. As I said before, I can get along with anyone who isn't making, snide, backbiting remarks, and as soon as they become nasty, they are on ignore. No biggie. As chiver said, that's what the button is for. I use it, sorry if it offends you but it keeps me sane. Now that's all I have to say. I am a good hearted person but the jabs and sarcasm gets old between lots in here. I try to be nice...I think everyone is guilty of a little jab here and there but if I can ignore nastiness, I do it. Sorry we can't see eye to eye. That's the way the world works I suppose, eh? I come on here usually every single day saying hello to all of you until, I get a snarl here and a bite there, then, I'm done. I got no time for it.

I'd prefer they act like adults, however. Moon that's hardly fair. Rick is the one that gets nasty and name calls. He's the only one that has been mean to me personally so I have to wonder why he comes to this thread, obvioiusly he is sabotaging it and you are punishing everyone for Ricks actions. If I was a mod I know I'd ban Rick. insert evil laugh
