I am sorry Ghoti I don't wish to attack other religions, I am just saying for me they won't work because I believe I have found the true way through Jesus Christ. If others find a different way that is up to them, I do think the bible is the only way or I wouldn't have faith in it. You don't need to feel offence at that. I like to talk about my beliefs whether anyone else finds them intersting that is up to them. There will be a day when we will all find out the truth. If one day the world is missing millions of christians instantaneously we will all know the truth.
Paul

You've found your way, I've found a different one, and pretty much everyone else who posts here has found a spiritual path that works for them. IMO that's all a good thing since we must each make our own connection with the creator and it should be unique to each of us.
If you could just accept and respect that concept we would have room for discussion, but if you are going to insist that we must all conform to your pathway then you will continue to get resistance from others. Evangelism may have its place among the lost and confused, but it is just annoying to most thoughtful and settled adults.

I keep telling you I am not insisting on anyone leaving their path to go on mine ghoti. Where do you get that? Everyone has their own path and is responsible for their choice. If I think that is the wrong path that doesn't mean I say leave it does it?

How do you feel when people tell you your way is wrong Paul, that your own personal faith and reasoning is wrong?
Do you welcome the opinion or do you reject it sometimes with a impassioned attack of your own?
The same applies when you do it.

It only bothers me in the way that I feel sorry for them turning from Jesus. That is their choice just as it is your choice to be agnostic, PD. You are agnostic aren't you? Seems I do remember you saying you believe there is a God though and see him in the beauty of nature. Am I right? I don't know about others but I feel I am dead center of the straight and narrow way Jesus spoke of, I hope and pray God will be merciful as I know He will for those on other paths. But then I know that it isn't God turning people away from His gate, but it is people choosing to turn away from His gate to go their own way. It is sad, huh?

My path is very different from yours but I find it glorious and inspiring. Don't waste any sadness on me, please.

I would think Paul, after all these years on this board, that you would understand that having people "feel sorry" for another, for whatever reason comes across as demeaning.
I can't begin to count that number of comments from people with one type of disability or another who have expressed their loathing of having someone "pity" or "feel sorry" for them because they are in a chair, or use crutches, or have troubles with mobility. No one (with any character at least) wants to be felt sorry for.
I understand what you are saying I think, and I actually believe your basic intentions are good...however, your delivery being constantly marked "return to sender" should give you a clue that people aren't that impressed with your sales pitch.

If you weren't so screwed up, you'd realize that feeling a certain way about others doesn't come across the board to people (especially in this establishment) unless you post the words. Paulwa was never one to post that he felt sorry for folks. But whenever one is being hounded...as you and ghoti do to him, and cbal-craig, well...then one usually tries to explain themselves...and when they 'bite back' to your stupid, juivinile rhetoric...then...then they are FURTHER hounded back by youse as being either whiny, judgmental, or righteous, bigoted..you name it...cus youse LOVE LOVE LOVE to label it. It's what you live for...instead of reading someone, having enough belief in yourself and respect and honor of yourSelf, first, and then the other person...to let...........it...........fly. -------------but youse just can't do that so we get this stupid shit here...which,,is..what...turns ...people....off.
I read Paulwa, and further research, and agree and disagree with some of what he says...i mainly agree...but you have the ability to let his posts fly. Just like anyone else.
He has the right to post over and over and over agin, what he believes...just like you. If you rooster heads who think yer talking for the coop with all your concern of turning folk off to the boards...or expressing their own religious beliefs had more respect for those you THINK you are speaking for...you'd just realize that they HAVE the ability to speak. Ok...carry on, cus you WILL...reacting by posting crap like this...but know that it is YOU and doing this that turns a person off.

I"ve been more than understanding towards Paulwa. Neither Ghoti nor I have attacked, we have both been doing what a message board is created for...we have been having respectful conversations.

Ronda, thanks, I feel better and a bit vindicated. Yes I blabber on about things that are dear to my heart but only poop to others. So if you think my meanderins is poop...why must you pick it up and handle it and smear it all over yourselves and dripping off your nose from sniffing it to death and then complain to me as if I dumped it in your lap. NOT..I only spoke it as my opinion and let it lay for those who are interested. If you don't want to complain about me then don't even go near it and especially don't pick it up and handle it!!
Thank you.
Paul

And we only spoke back Paul...that's what a message board is for. If you wanted to express yourself without input from the readers you could create a Blog and Blog yourself. Putting it "out there" opens your words up to both support and criticism.

How cute! Birds of a feather blithering together...lol We'd rather avoid the waste you spew, but we expose it because so many are so gullible. How else can one explain Sarah Palin? lol

I'll definitely have to buy myself a industrial popcorn machine.
If/when Sarah runs I will happily volunteer to be her NM campaign manager.
