Oh Hell No

Sure has been.

Personally speaking, I don't. I like when people are rational and use logic and intellect to settle their disputes. Fighting just shows a lack of character. Not excluding myself of course.

I enjoy you and Meliai's posts very much. You're both smart and rational. It's admirable.

 

I don't think Moon does pot, my point was if some of us can come here for fun and be missunderstood why can't we all for what ever other reasons we might have, like being tired at the end of a day? Having a bad day? Who cares what our reasons are?

 

Huh?

 

Thanks Lunar, it's always a pleasure to read your stuff as well, especially the dirty thread :2thumbsup:
But seriously you shed light on lots of things.
Might I mention I love Meliai's stuff too.

 

Read it all first, it's not really about you, it's about what's been going on around here.

 

"'when they are having a party with booze or maybe some pot'... hmm. You are right, I have not even considered that possibility with Moonglow (she didn't seem the type to me to come on here intoxicated). But it would indeed explain a lot "

explain, what, Asmo? That I cannot type worth a shit? LOL

 

I think the reason behind it is often very interesting and also important. It can make the difference if you tolerate a post or dismiss its content and maybe even it's creator as a whole.

Why you are not making sense in an above average amount of your posts

 

Who cares who makes sense or not. I don't always, especially if I am here just for a good time.

 

What do you mean?
Show me where I madeno sense to you, or ask me to explain....if you don't understand me.....

 

Oh please. If you don't want to make sense you better go to an Absurdist forum. We take things very serious around here.

 

If youdon't undertand something I said, that is...

 

Your posts are sometimes very, very random, or so it seems.

 

Will you kids please settle down! Does this place now have to resemble society at large???

 

Good answer if it makes your day.

Personally I would have said "oh man, I was just gonna ask you the same thing!"

I say that whenever a panhandler asks me for money

 

I come from a fundamentalist Christian fambly and I'm often around people openly expressing their faith, asking me what I think of (blank), occasionally asking me to say grace, and poopooing things they find evil.

I've found the best thing to do is say very little and just smile. People should be entitled to their beliefs as long as they're hurting no one. My mom often tells me that she prays for me. I could say, "Pfft. What bullshit." But I find a "Thanks ma," suffices. The point is that she's wishing well for me and my partner.

Only some of my family knows my believes, and if they found out and didn't like it. I really couldn't give a fuck less just as much as I can't give a fuck less what they believe. They're good people.

 

I have a born again Christian friend.She's lovely,cultured and intelligent.We generally just avoid religious topics and talk about other stuff.I'm not going to dissuade her from Christianity,and she's not going to convert me to it.But I do appreciate her loving nature.She even prays for me sometimes.Even though I don't take that too seriously,to have someone pray for you can be a nice feeling.

 

There's a difference between people being 'random' and people just not making any sense at all and dragging threads down and not adding anything at all to them. I'm here for discussion and I like for people to make some sense. I'd rather someone I disagree with add to a discussion than someone who is just going to have a bad case of verbal diarrhea all the time.

Yeah, this thread kinda makes it seem religious discussion brings out the worst in people or this just happen to be the thread where everyone simultaneously exploded..
I actually do believe in prayer, but I just see it as the 'power of thought'..the mind is a powerful tool.

 

Agreed.

 

I'm in the same place, I don't ever really discuss my beliefs with my family but they have a pretty good idea I'm not a religious person.

This wasn't really a problem until i had a baby, now they're always asking if we say nightly prayers and apparently everyone is expecting us in church this Easter. The whole thing makes me a little nervous. I don't want anyone forcing their beliefs onto my son but i guess they feel its their responsibility since I'm obviously not going to teach him anything about Christianity.

The problem with Christians, and something that is actually sweet at the heart of it, is when Christians love a nonbeliever they genuinely worry about the state of their soul. My family members are afraid I'll go to hell and they're afraid I'll drag my son with me. Its silly and annoying and sweet and it really makes me nervous that I'm going to have to deal with this for years to come.

 

Unless you can prove to them that Easter is Pagan (which is easy) and nowhere in the bible does it say that people go to Hell..hades, sheol
