the essence of this board
| Sat, 12-09-2006 - 4:27pm |
is about love, kindness, respect and as the title says: faith and spirituality. here we are all more one than separated. This is not a religion board. Sure, things about religion come up of course. Faith and spirituality do not always mean religion. The flavor is about accepting, sharing and really it is not an analytical place in a heavy, text book type of nature. it is really for people who are tired of analyzing, who want to share and get new ideas. maybe we question and ask more than analyze. I think if one is truely heavily into their religion, they usually find a place that deals with that religion only. We would be a thorn on the side as we are not RELIGION based. Just my humble take. correct me if I am wrong. Love, Leila

Ladies...
Q:
And that is your opinion which you are entitled to. Can't help you. Please save yourself the trouble and do not presume to know or guess what MY intentions were as you do not live in my mind. As far as I can tell this assessment of yours is so far off, as though you're referring to someone else altogether.
If you decide to make negative sweeping generalizations about other religions (especially one that is not your own) be prepared to back it up, and for crying out loud don't be surprised if someone asks for where that came from. That's completely reasonable. It is not adversarial nor is it combative to ask. I asked very, very nicely.

What is going on in your heart to need to be so angry and bitter towards Bink? Maybe you are not aware of this. Take a deep breath and look at it. I know you re not here to be analyzed, I see some pain in your heart. I see you crying out to be heard in general. Love, Leila
Did you read the whole post, or just the first paragraph?
Leila,
Again but maybe i should keep it super simple.
No anger. None. Zip. Zero. Nada.
I'm always light hearted.
Someone insinuates I'm this or that, when I'm not, at this point... oh well. That I try to clarify.... means I'm angry?
I may be the happiest person here. Try to read this message without emoticons, then insert your own. It will sound different.
Sometimes I be be in a hurry though..... so I may come off as being hurried. Not angry. For goodness sake, stop it already.

I totally agree, Leila. Nicely and lovingly said. I participate on the Religion Debate board, and there debate is appropriate. Here, it's about acceptance and support. Thank you for posting this. That is how I feel about this board, also. While we may all have our own opinions, worldviews and life experiences, and some quite the opposite of another's view, this is a place to come to just share and be with each other's spirituality, allowing ourselves a safe place to be open about our thoughts.
Hugs,
Gypsy

I'm sorry, but I find this comment a little offensive:
>>>For others who think this is beating a dead horse, please move on to the next post or website or go do some chores.<<<
I find it derogatory, belittling, authoritative (regardless of your use of the word "please"), and condescending.
