You are of course entitled to your opinion but I would really appreciate it if you could keep uncivil thoughts to yourself or if you could express them in PM to anyone aside from me.

> However, neither you nor Alexandra have the right to tell Sky or anyone else not NOT post to this thread or to respond to your posts.

I didn't mean that as an INSTRUCTION. I meant that as a simple REQUEST. I'll request it again: pretty pretty please with sugar on top if you don't want to participate in the dialogue, if you want to accuse me of:

- trying to get this forum closed
- of expressing 'trivialities'
- of attacking your god
- of talking nonsense

then pretty pretty please with sugar on top don't post to me. PM each other or whatever but please don't try and turn my thread into an attack on me and please don't try to get my thread locked because you want me to shut up.

Same with PM's. It might be in the rules somewhere that you can't demand of someone that they not PM you. Whatever. I'm not DEMANDING, however, I'm REQUESTING. Pretty pretty please with sugar on top don't send me a PM is you are going to jump to conclusions about me, attack me, accuse me etc.

It is of course up to you people whether you want to put me on ignore or whatever. I can't (and won't) DEMAND that you do that. When people say that they find reading my posts upsetting, however, and they want me to change so that I don't upset them then I wonder why should I stop writing when they can stop reading? I suggested one way of preventing / dealing with the upset and it is up to people whether they choose to implement my suggestion or not.

If other people get something from my words then other people are getting something from my words.

If you just find that my words upset you then you do not have to read them.

Thanks.

Alexandra... I can't help but wonder why you seem to be going around in circles arguing "logic" when religion and belief in God is entirely faith-based? Spiritual belief comes from faith, not from reason or logic.

And that's likely one of the reasons you will receive negative reactions to your attempts to explain these ideas. It seems like you're trying to use a shoe to hammer a nail, when most people realize a hammer is the more appropriate tool. That is why, I suspect, you're also not finding any answers here.

When I created this sanctuary for spiritual support (a place of refuge and protection), I expected people might come in here questioning their own beliefs. But if you're going to do that, I think you need to let go of reason and logic and either follow your faith, or find another road. Because this is not a place to try and debate or argue, and that's exactly what you're doing in this thread (time and time again).

Thanks,
DocJohn

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
