because i see an awful lot of people spitting alot of hatred out like acid trhough their teeth at me for my beliefs. they ask me question sto explain my beliefs, and then shoot down my answers by appointing themseves experts on the topics discussed. and all with an incredible amount of hostility. if it keeps up i am not likely to be bothering to post here anymore, so i would like to know right now if this happens often.

I'm sorry, you'll have to point out where Sanguina, IMR, or myself proclaimed ourselves experts.
Go on, I'll wait right here for those quotes!

I am very, terribly sorry that you see correction of misinformation to be "hostility." School must have been terribly hard for you.

Go BAWW somewhere else.


ETA: And, if you remember correctly, all we did was ask questions.
You were the one who called us "intolerant, self-righteous know-it-all bitches."

I'm not an expert but I really dislike it when people are misinformed.

You know, as an archaeologist, I'm used to questioning everything and wanting everything to be as accurate as possible.

Shame on you, IMR. Don't you know that beliefs don't have to be accurate?? They just have to be meaningful. Accuracy is for chumps.

Correction =/= hatred.

We're not experts. We do appear to know more about them than you, though - which should mean to you that you have study to do. We shouldn't be able to show you up about your own religion.

Quote:

We weren't hostile. You're being defensive. At the end there, yes, I answered insult with insult, although admittedly mostly for the irony.

If you choose not to post anymore that's your own look-out. *shrug*

I wasn't actually hating on you or showing intolerance.
I was correcting the mistakes in your position.
You claimed to worship a God, but didn't know that the word you were using to describe said God doesn't actually refer to any God at all.
That's like claiming to worship the God "God of Wisdom" from the pantheon of the Gael.

By showing that you didn't actually research the God you claim to worship, you must yield that you don't actually know what it is that you worship. This is a hard thing to do. But when you do it and look at what it is that you are worshipping, be it thoughtform or other deity, you'll find that you come out of it with a better relationship.

I'm just honest about it because I don't give a s**t anymore.


INORITE? I am wearing a t-shirt in my room and I feel sooo uncomfortable

I have to admit I am starting to look at other women and frown upon them for wearing such revealing clothes. I'm horrible D:

As a commentary on the initial post.

Having ended your "discussion" with us by calling us "self-righteous, intolerant bitches", starting this thread is a little hypocritical don't you think?
