why does christian dogmatic belief interject itself into so many threads?

Ah, "Touchee".

No, that was so I could appear refined.

I'm more of a musician. Play acoustic guitar. Therein is my passion.

Ah, Touche, a victory cry of the blunt tippers.

So do you fence?

Humour me, BJ. Tell me one thing about yourself that I may not know. Not trying to be your bosun boy, just trying to be friendly.

Humour you? Ok, I am a non Christian who rarely talks about my Religion,and never attempts to push my faith on anyone, or say it's better than other faiths,I read alot of post, here putting down the Nature based Religions,Islam,or other non Christian faiths by Christains,and when I poke back some get upset. You do not seem to be one of them Sheep.

never try to toss any babies out with the bath water...i usually find i don't have to toss much.


Black Jim,
i'd rather not suppose...which is why i asked what the bones in your fire pit had to say.

if spirit isn't in nature...how would rocks shout?

Far from reading tea leaves Sal.

all you can eat for one very low price,,,




game on,, don't let me get in the way! *grin*

Us Christians usually end up defending our faith on the Anti-Christians threads like this one.

Hi again malu



(Note. I'm an ex-alcoholic, so my glass is Pepsi)

Did you gain anything from round 1 ? (if indeed this is round 2)

And Hi Sal:



And Hi Kay:

Black Jim,
well, explain how it's different? am interested is all...curious critter i am.

hi sheep.

malu,
ya eat a lot of popcorn!

oh, hi Kay...how ya doing? sounds like ya feel threatened? hope not.

Malu,should'nt you be out begging attention,or sympathy from the Fairer Gender?

Oh, don't over concern yourself about it Salimandr,stick to what you know,unless there are other motives in your question.

All quiet again.

Thanks for humouring me Black Jim. We'll see if we can get you on Dr. Phil and then you can really open up.

I don't see any point in dumping on people who aren't interested in Christ. I believe, you believe, we all believe something. I don't agree (lest one thinks I'm wishy-washy) with opposing views, but I'm here as an ambassador. And I don't mind defending what I believe, I just can't see going on the offensive as being productive.

Comments anyone?

Fuck Dr. Phil.

Black Jim,
well, asking about it is a way of getting to know you i guess...in some ways. i like learning new/different things...like i said, i'm a curious critter.

BJ

If they televised that *I* might watch his show!

My Karmic Cycle Hit and Killed YOUR Dogma when I Jumped off of IT.

My Bad Sorry for the EnConvinyence.

My Hound Ate Your DogMA When it Barked at US.(Hope he Don't get Gass)

Better watch out for the Hounds when you Take your DogMa out for a Strole It MIGHT Get you in Trouble.!.

Hay just Playen Around.

Dogma's are for the WEEK MINDED.


James.

sheep,
takes time to put thoughts together and type? maybe that's why it gets quiet?

cute dogma's...stickers?

don't watch dr phil.

Explain What you mean Sophia?

Sophia:

Are you there?

>>Keeping my mind open isn't always easy, who said it would be, but I've found it's worth it. Mind you, I have to be prepared to let go of some beliefes of my own along the way because of it!<<

I agree with you.

I don't now where you sit (dogmatically) but I have seen this in my own life. I am not the same person who started off on my spiritual (ie Christian) walk XX number of years ago. And people have had an influence.
I never compromised my beliefs, I just adapted them. Grew.

Is Oprah better, Black Jim?

I don't watch that shit Sheep,hardly watch television at all.

And before I'm led off to the abyss, I don't watch Dr. Phil or Oprah. I like Seinfeld, though.

sheep,
i like that...adapted beliefs. i've always been very interested in belief's/religions. don't know why...just curious i guess. find bits of some and bits of others that seem to hold something...then there's some that's hogwash.

like link tv myself. shows a bit more of the world and what's happening to its peoples. how far removed some are from truly suffering of peoples.

so what have WE decided?

i have been at my yoga practice and just have to know...do we stay or do we go now?

>>do we stay or do we go now?<<

The Clash?

Do we ever really decide anything Freya? Does OP have the right to post this thread? Yes. Do we have the right to respond? Yes. Will people be dogmatic? Yes. Is that right???

What's changed?

wb Freyja,
so you more relaxed and focused now?

so right sheep...i appreciate you and how you stay centered in your truth while allowing others to be.

sal..oh yes and it feels FANTASTIC!

BTW...same goes for you what I said to sheep.

I think that regalia is just new here and did not know what he was getting himself into...we may have our skirmishes from time to time but when it comes down to it we all hang tight wrapped in the love of us.
