<I think she's on a futile mission, but I know she is determined, so she will hack away.> But you kind of like that though, don't you? I mean, in order to affirm and defend your religious beliefs and the churches, don't you need someone like her hacking away? Are not people unlike you, experiencing the world and God differently, kind of an essential ingredient in your recipe? I am not judging who is right or wrong here. These are sincere questions I have. Best, Charliss

Dwight, you keep putting words in my mouth!! Stop that, please. It is really not very fair of you. I do not care what your sexual morals are. They are of no interest to me. Mine are obviously of great interest to you, since you have repeatedly said that I am immoral, although I am not, and tonight you added that I am not who I say I am, either. My only concern with anyone's belief system is when they use it to take the human and civil rights of others away, or judge them severely, simply because they are black or some other minority race, Jewish, homosexual, or in any other group which is discriminated against. When people do that, I feel like they have moved beyond a personal belief system, and become instruments of hate. That's all! Incidentally, I am not sure how you came to this conclusion: "Charliss, the title of the thread is 'Ask God'. Therefore it IS a forum about my God." Have you ever actually read the thread title? It was started by j.garcia as a joke, and the early posters were a motley crew with many belief systems. The thread heading is basically saying that God will answer your prayers when Hell freezes over, to put it in different words that mean the same thing. It was definitely not a Christian thread!!! Then Shalom came along and started quoting the Bible, and a great debate was waged between the Christians and the free thinkers, atheists, agnostics, pagans and everyone else. But that was later. This thread does not belong to any one group of people.
