This a simple poll. I am not trying to start any kind of philosophical debate here.

There is no need to qualify you answer with a comment. I don't expect anyone to be converted here.

I have tried to keep this short and inoffensive. If you are offended, get therapy immediately.

You do take things personally, don't you. I was speaking in general terms about the far right wing. Which I know you do consider yourself a part of. And rightfully so, if we are to go by the words you write.

But I am very glad that you admit to at least being indoctrinated by the Bible and your "bible school." Even if you are loathe to admit that it is really religious indoctrination.

Other Christian religions use the Bible as their Bible. But not all, in fact not most, of them agree with the way you've interpreted it or the "formula" you've created - FROM YOUR TEACHINGS.

I can't help but hold out hope for you. Somewhere inside you I have a feeling there is a reasonable, lovely person just waiting to bust out.

Here I am!

A lovely, reasonable person stands before me? I can't seeee you.

your loss.

Now that's a fact. But too bad you don't understand how much of a loss it is for you too.

Just with the work Patty has done over the years with children and foster care alone shows me the lovely person she is. :thumbup: I could care less if she is right or left wing, Rep. or Dem. Yes, she is much more religious than I am.

Yes she reads the Bible more. I don't agree with her views all the time. But, lovely person? Yes, I see her.

Hummingbird, thank you.

Good for you Hummingbird! My thoughts are probably influenced too much by the very hard edge she reveals of her personality and the hard line she takes toward others in her posts.

You seem to be very generous of spirit and that is a good thing to be.

That's very kind Hummingbird.

I have a really hard time getting past the hard edged tone she has toward people in her posts and the very hard line she takes with politics and religion.

You obviously have a very generous spirit and that's a good thing.

Is anyone else having this problem with this R&R forum? I see the last person who posted and the time but it isn't showing up.

Like it shows BJean as having posted here at 9:08 AM today but the last post showing up for me is April 10th by BJean.

This has been happening more and more. Did the last poster delete their message? I don't know why I can see the last message.

It is the polls. When somebody votes in a poll it does that.

It drove me crazy on a couple of them when it kept saying that I was the last poster and I hadn't posted to the thread in months.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'd wondered about that too. And I just noticed that somehow I managed to post the same (similar) thing twice above. Undoubtedly computer error. Heh!

He also tells us that we shouldn't speak about our beliefs loudly to others.

Wait for it, waaaaaaiiit for it and there she is!(Patty)

I know this is an old post but I just had to do that.

So much for not starting a philosophical debate.:scared2:

Go back to where you got the old post and read my response to it there, if you want it.
