I am not friends with anyone on this board. I dont know you all and really have no desire to. I came here for support during a transition in my life. I just have a couple of things I would like to say.

People who hide behind the Lord to chastise other people or use the Lord to make others feel guilty should be ashamed of themselves. HOW DARE YOU drag the Almighty God into this kind of bickering. Do you keep God on the same level as yourselves?? Keep Him on a leash and turn Him loose whenever it makes you look good?? I can't stand when pious people throw this "I will pray for you crap" around to make them seem holier than thou.. Just as bad are the people who use your christianity to slap you in the face. "I thought you were a Christian"... As if that is something they just came up with and haven't used that line time and time again to attack people. Christians are sinners, people. Jesus is the attonement for our sins. Paul, David and Moses were all murderers for God's sake and the Lord used each of these men in mighty ways. They each wrote major portions of the Bible. God created us to worship Him not to use Him for our own foolish gain. Come ONNNN!!!!! Enough if enough. Dont you all have friends in "real life"?? If your so unhappy online then step away from the keyboard... Shut the dang thing off... move on with your lives.. find another message board where everyone is perfect.. Or do SOMETHING!!!! But leave God out of your petty, childish bickering. If your not a Christian then be a decent human being and leave Him out anyway... He is very important to some people.

My Advice to all the angry people: Get a grip and move on past it.

I shouldve never posted the sentence:It sounds like an attack on the Catholic church

I apologize.

I never intended to offend any Catholics, sorry if I did, especially you, Paula.

Just telling a story I found interesting.

Hi Best site in web www.LapBandTalk.com! G'night

Hey, we got spammed with our own site on a dead thread. How cool is that?

Oh man! I don't come on for a few days and the fireworks fly??? What'd I miss?

Personally I find it very condescending when people say "I'll pray for you" because it just sounds so insincere.

That being said, I wouldn't tell someone "don't say this or that" because of my strong belief in freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to say what they want to say, even if I don't like it, and that includes saying they'll pray for me OR God-bashing or whatever. That is a benefit of living in America.

But I agree with the fact that when people say "I'll pray for you" it's very, very annoying.

Many members will probably pray for you so that you can become Enlightened enough to be happy when they tell you, "I'll pray for you".:frusty:
