But I take my hat off to people who firmly believe in god etc, just as i take my hat off to those who beleive in science, who believe in family, who believe in themselves.
Not everyone is a convert in the making. If i can understand why people believe in whatever religion they are, why cant religious people understand that some people have no use for any god real or not


a bit of a waffle post i'm afraid, but I hope my point is made..

leave people to be people and things are fine... bring religion into it and barriers appear and lines are drawn..

Religion didn't let you down, ppl did. YOU make your own choices on how much you desire to reach for Him regardless of the chaos and iniquity you have been met with.
Just some advice.

Well, this tells me volumes of what the problem you have with getting answers.

Would you say this about your mother? Or father?

What sort of relationship are you working on exactly - with God?

What a crock ...

thats right you dont know me..

You asked a question, i gave you the exegesis to your dilemma.
The questions were for an examination of conscience. Something to think about.

Its unnecessary to be pedantic.

However; this youtube is for ages over 18.
So unless you have an account, you probably cannot view it...if you are not signed in.

Think about it.


and you think about this.....your pompous attitude and self righteous tone is unbecoming to Jesus himself...
Your head must be so far up your rear that you cannot see humor when it flies up and slaps you in the face...if people like you are going to be in heaven ..it shouldnt be called such.

No need to be irascible.
No need to pm me with the same.

You don't know me anymore than i know you.
And so this is what i will tell you...

If you are giving me power to disgruntle you, thru your own imagination, then we have no dialogue.

I take this as lesson of humility and ask for pardon.

It wasn't my intent to offend, but to give an example of how we miss the mark. It happens to everyone.

And although what you find humorous may very well not be found in the same light before God. Let's not knock on the door of His wrath, but be mindful of how worthy He is of all love, honor, and respect.

God Bless.

Kip, i dont know what to say to you anymore.
I am referring to the disheartening posts i have seen you direct to me.

But this one i can answer.

I do moderate, i supervise a huge forum....
And its difficult to go from a tight set of rules and guidelines to a loosely fitting one. Trust me, this place would end of hating me if i were to moderate.

Understand, i am not missed here anyway, but i will come in time to time.
If nothing else, i dont want to put myself on a pedestal. Its way too hard to fall when ya get kicked down.

Oh, you dont bug me. You already know I dont agree with your point of view in what religion is concerned, but I respect it.

Hugs, dear

Maybe i should add you to my friends list [we do have them here i think] and then when i need ya, i will find you.

And this is why I keep returning. He runs off everyone that is not AR. If you're a female and I am. he gets even worse! Calls us sub humans etc. It hurt my feelings one time.... only the once! Then I realised that hes not worthy of my emotions. I refuse to bow to abuse from anyone lol but to see someone thats a control freak verbaly abusing women just for being here...? Pissed me off a bit! In honest truth,I avoid men like Flynn.

I seriously think Jesus and his Father saw what I typed and took it for what it was..a joke...the bible tells me Yahweh is a happy God..so I imagine he had good laugh.
For someone who didnt intend to offend,..your use of the word YOU and saying to think about it..tells me that it was a pointed statement directed to me. If you had used the word WE.. and said WE all need to think about it.. then I would have seen it as advice to us all.

And this is why we should use emoticons
In this way they can take the sting out and put the humor in

Of course this breaks the flynnism of debating

Well, in the past i didnt always agree with Flynn.
And i think i did my part in causing his reactions.

I dont think he hates women...he certainly didnt act like he hated me. We just didnt always agree on most material subjects. I found myself seeing red on occasion and then it became myself who had the problem. Its how we react that makes the difference in getting thru a dialogue.

I find that if i look at myself first and what i did...and then put myself in someone else's shoes, then i reword myself like 5 times before i post.

My examination is for spelling [altho sometimes i still miss the mark]
Am i replying out of anger. So i walk away and do something til i calm down.
Am i catalyst for aggravation? So i soften my words.
Do i cause ppl to see God thru myself and then push them away? i would rather chew ground glass than do that.
Is my post helping? So i try to change it.

And well, i still fail many times, but i am working on it.

My fault.

Sorry. [waving emoticon would be nice here along with a hugging one]
