Rise Above The Nonsense....

>>Sometimes it is difficult to separate the criticism (say) of an ancient book, from the person professing the beliefs. Some slippage is bound to occur, especially if gratuitous insults and misrepresentations have been previously extended.>>

Forgiveness is FREE!!

>>People need to acquire thick skins if they are going to discuss such personal issues as religion.>>

The individual with "thickest skin" is the one who has learn the value of forgiving others and not holding back or claiming to own or control any of the energy we are sharing.

>>The field of religion often has natural roots in ethnic/racial exclusion and "superiority." There are a number of wars flowering today as testimony to this.>>

>>So one expects some hard feelings in a forum where "certainties" are bound to clash...and where agnostics might be tempted to prick the balloons of those who would pretend to speak and act for God.>>

YOU are free!! This freedom was granted, given and created by "something." If putting a label on this irritates you then leave the label off of it!!

So what's the beef??

We all have SO much to share, be thankful for and look forward to!!
