Just A Note To All

As well, I have been posting on a different forum that mainly consists of christians, and the content here gave me a shock. Like a culture shock from going to another country. I do however, feel a great need to apologize for not stepping back before posting my feelings. I am trully sorry and I hope I will be forgiven. Shame on me. My head is not always on straight..or at all! 😮

There is no need. This forum is like a storm. We through ideas out and voice the anger of life. You have every right, within the measure of your faith, to do the same. 😄

I did think you were a bit abrupt. All the same, you stuck around and have posted a number of times. My initial reaction was negative, but you seem to have gotten over the initial shell shock as it were. I personally do not hold grudges, so no hard feelings. Besides, your thread produced a large amount of discussion, that is the point of the forum and your thread accomplished that.

No worries. I'm glad you changed your mind. A little culture shock is always good. People need to keep on their feet 😛

You are gracious people...i am humbled! 😍

Can we(I) shock somemore? 😄

Well you've heard it said "I never talk politics or Religion".........and here........we do....

Poltics and religion are inexorably dangerous. I love them both so much.

I do not much like to debate religion.. i would much rather I say what i feel and you all agree with me and we live happily ever after! LOL

Any chance of that happening or do i brush up on my debating skills and have a go at it?

*chuckles to self*

^^ 😂

And then marcu woke up....

It seems to me that using quotes from the bible in terms of discussion with people (other than christians) does not seem to hold much water. Which i suppose makes sense, cause if you don't have faith in God or the bible, then why would quoting from it help any. So, my question is, what approach would hold water with those of you who are not Christians here? Just wondering! 😕

You are 100% correct. Logic would be the key to the approach for most people. Quoting from the Lotus sutra would have great sway over me personally, but that would mean you would have to read it.

I agree with Shakya. If something is true...it should stand up to all logic. The Bible is only facutal to some Christians...no one has a problem with you using it, but you gotta back it up. "the Bible is fact" isn't going to cut it anymore than "Star Wars is fact."

What I like about the Bible is when I quote it and people don't agree. Then they don't dis-agree with me. I love it! This way, you have to deal with the bible and not me. 🙂 Cool huh?

Not really...no one like arguing with a book. We can do that on our own time. And you dont personally grow.
