I would like to apologize to those of this site, especially in R&S, I offended with my choice of wording in regards to BEV...(on page 10 of the what is grace thread) but only for that ... I know I could have worded it without the cussing but I have never been one to hold back . My feelings have not changed..tho they have morphed somewhat to a total lack of caring what she says or tries to shove down others throats. Her lack of integrity shows me she is nothing and no one to even respect enough to acknowledge anymore. She said she would not go into other peoples threads to antagonize them..yet within minutes of being reinstated she was doing so. Another lie from her. Out of curiosity I had noted the amount of posts she had made at the time of her time out..10639. When I signed offline last night after reading some wonderful posts in R&S (very informative) after 9 pm my time (11pm her time) that was the amount of posts she had. I checked this morning at 8:14 (10:14 her time) and her post count was 10724 .. in LESS than 12 hours ...most of those the times when normal people sleep (even her) and she had posted 85 posts!! Unbelievable ! and only a handful were anything less than a paragraph more of them were mini novels. This showed me that, yes she does have a problem and I should just discount her entirely. I will try my damnedest to refrain form engaging in her mindless religiosity .. instead I will focus on learning about others beliefs and sharing my beliefs without shoving them down anyone's throat.
I have been emailed off site, called, IMMED etc and asked to come back and not let her or anyone elses posts get to me. It will be hard because the reason I went off was because I felt she had crossed a BIG line and hurt many folks here with her rantings .. they were made just out of pure vileness and the momma bear in me came out full force. Any who have met me KNOW how I am and that I am usually a live and let live person... totally willing to listen and discuss religion and oft times laugh with them while doing so. But to be force fed, continually, that I am going to hell for my beliefs and that others who believe as they wish are also going to hell is preaching, NOT debating or discussing in my opinion and it should be banned. To be fair, telling someone their belief is stupid or they are stupid for believing such is also wrong and the constant shoving of that rhetoric down anyone's throat is equal to the hell fire and brimstone preaching and condemnation and should also cease. No one has a right to condemn anyone's beliefs or shove theirs on anyone else. This is a discussion forum a place for discussion and debate not PREACHING from either side. Maybe a solution is that threads that are going to be preaching should be labeled as such. Who knows ?? I truly enjoy reading and learning in the R&S forums and had not been a participant for a while but read because of this type of interaction.. one side preaches the other responds with a resounding "no thank you" and then the other tells them they are going to hell. Then the retaliation begins and NO ones beliefs are given any credence its all shouting yelling and name calling.. Yes I got caught up in it .. and it pisses me off I let myself fall into being baited to do so. I know that some people do this JUST to create an atmosphere of anger and contempt where no one can express themselves without being chastised or ridiculed. They get OFF on it. I have said over and over that NO ONE has a right to condemn another for their beliefs yet I found myself doing so and being pushed beyond rational limits.. despising actions and posts of certain people. I have never been one to hold my tongue when I see an injustice or someone harming an innocent .. I'm right there standing up for the underdog and that is what I felt I was doing when I went off on BEV .. Telling her she was out of line and I still believe that. When the debate becomes personal it is no longer a debate or discussion and especially not a learning experience its is a war.. and in this case more than just spiritual one. It was taken beyond that and into outright vileness. I miss discussing and learning in the R&S forums especially being shown the other side of the coin from what I had been taught in my life..to know that I'm not the only one who has thought as I do and will from now on (hopefully ) ignore the baited posts and the preaching ... so .....
TADAAAAA Im back thank you to those who missed me
