I guess I should be flattered that you've been reading my posts so thoroughly over the years

one thing is for sure, they read me more than they like to make me think when they dismiss me with words of 'you don't make any sense...you're hard to read'. i apologized and do still for that.

I, also, am not affiliated with any group. I've never thought *of myself* as being a Christian. I never thought that it was a dirty word or anything...but to think about calling myself one gave thoughts of being too severe. Maybe I DID use to have some thoughts about Christians as being too pushy or too strong a thing there....

I went thru the stage in highschool (very short stage) of hanging with the Bible thumpers, going to church with them, etc. Didn't take me anywhere of permanence, faith-wise, but I still remember vividly what took place for me when I did.

I drank, lots....lots...end of highschool and thru my early 20's. Prayed to God for change. Prayed for drastic change. At 23 broke my neck playing around on a cliff and water one weekend. Still no real change in my faith.

My faith, though, I know, HAS grown...right along, thru every day I've lived. And I love the Lord with all my heart. This forum is disheartening. Not to read the things which Are debated but the things which are not debate-worthy stuff. anyway...someone else post, I will back off a bit.

Why the obsession with me?

I was only expecting (should have known better...i know) to hear how my thoughts with this post, which was at least a week and a half after Everyone was finished with the thread here:



that is....How the original poster considered my thoughts to his thread starter. But I should have known that after a week and a half of EVERYone else being thru with it, that aevory would stir up a hornet full of others' remarks with her own. NOT because it was so controversial or jackass-i-ness a response, but rather JUST BECAUSE IT WAS AEVORY and there has always been so many with a bug up their ass about aevory's posts. talk about freaking obsessed. so don't give me that bullshit cus i can blow it over the top of your head and find it on your backside before you can say: ahhh...whas up [WTF]. alright?

Now, since the one whose skin is so tough....as is mentioned in His signature line, failed to address or take up the thoughts of debate there that I had in quoted post here....And is accepted by the lemmings as being ultra wise and respectable with his :well, ah, that's why I won't call myself a christian...and yuck, those christians, they're such an example of greed, hate, bigotry, egoists, hypocrits, liars, cheaters, Indian-givers...yada yada ---only having an issue with MY posts you see why I really don't take you, ink, as 'for real'. And it shows just how unable the original poster is able to take on a challenge.

Okay aevory, when you first posted your rhetort, I read it and didn't believe it made any sense, but let it go because, to be frank, many of your posts don't make much sense to me... But when you reposted and asked if it made any logical sense, I chose to respond... It was an open question not directed to anyone in particular on the board, that I observed... I would have answered the same whether it was asked by anyone... It was you who suddenly made it all about you, so don' flatter yourself into believing that you have been singled out... I only answered your query and you didn't like the response you recieved and reacted in such a way that justified the original quote and got called out on it... Not because of who you are, but how you acted...

I do have my personal opinions about christianity, but as I have stated numerous times before, if it works for you and gives you what you seek, then wonderful!... Keep it up... I am fully aware and accept that my belief may not make sense or work for others and I am fine with that... Someone else's problem with my religion is exactly that, their problem not mine... I suggest you consider adopting the same outlook...

I assume your "somebody's quote" thread was an infantile attempt to get under my skin or something, but it is meaningless to me as it comes from someone that has obviously no clue as to what they are talking about and is of no threat what-so-ever to my belief... It would take considerably more than a weak parody to shake my faith, although it did make me chuckle a bit...

Although I admit I could be wrong, you seem such an angry soul... I sincerely and honestly wish nothing less for you than peace, love, and happiness as I do for all here (yes even you Paulwa), dispite my occasional outbursts of callousness... After all, no one's perfect...
