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.

:deadhorse: :deadhorse: Could we please drop this thread? It is no longer productive whatsoever.

I can't believe some of you would even want to post on this thread at all.

:lock1:

Where are the thread killers when you need them? I'm calling in Special Forces...

Did someone call me?

Anyone that continues to post in this ridiculously juvenile, drama filled thread will be required to tell us how much it hurts to be an idiot.

How's that?

:heh:

Yeah babay!!!!!!!! here they come...Ta Daaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

re: "I believe nothing that cannot be verified by my senses."

I believed that too for much of my life.

Yet how do I account for these:

Time, tide, gravity, TV signals, pheromones, brain function in relation to blood glucose levels. Brownian movment. Strong and weak atomic forces. Calcium and sodium channel pump. Mitochondrial function. Ionization. X-ray and gamma ray production. Radiation. Atomic decay. Fossilization process. The growth of Redwoods. Ova and sperm...invisible to the naked eye. Microscopic anything. Pluto and Xena circling the Sun. Sun spots.

My beliefs are subjected to the performance of devices that extend our senses. Yet how accurate are they and how do we interpret the data they provide? The church refused to look into Gallileo's telescope and denied the existence of the moons of Jupiter. Did they suddenly pop into existence for the convenience of a theological argument?

And what of subatomic particle physics? Quantum mechanics. Quarks, leptons, gluons....magnetism itself? I don't see electricity. I can't see the ocean....does it still swarm the shore and nourish creatures I've never encountered?

Our concepts of blood changed when we invented the microscope. And they changed again when we could look at 100x instead of 10x. And they changed again when we looked at 1000x....and again at 20000x and 30000x.....and when we could measure electric signals, and chemical signals...and again when we discovered hormonal mediation of cellular processes....and again when we could observe and measure those processes due to the effects of radiation, of environmental factors previously ignored....and when genetic mapping became possible....

Did the universe change with the addition of new devices to our world?...

Spring--hand me a bottle please. And love....I'll take a pound of it. No, make that 2 pounds.

I no longer consider my senses to be that which defines the Universe.

This, however, is poetry. It should be memorialized amongst the ashes. :clap2:

Hey people. she apologized.. Get on with it... She stated...." read it again, You must have misunderstood what I said."

Points to Ponder........

Many non-believers' last words have been, "Oh, God." However, It may have been too late.

Just for the record, I'm not offended at all by the original post. It made perfect sense to me. And you're absolutely correct, PPL

Me too, so I'm hoping NurseKathy won't mind if this thread gets killed. Come on guys, I know there's some cheese lovers out there. I, personally, love avocados. Do you know how much fat is in those puppies?

Did someone call for a thread killer?

If this doesn't stop, I'm going to start dancing.

No cheese here, but I have fish!!

Can I get a fish with cheese, please?

:rant:

Can I get a fish with cheese, please?

No, Macadamia nut and parmesean cheese crusted Mahi Mahi is wonderful

Agnostic here too. (but everyone can believe what they want)..I apparently missed the mudslinging too (yay) To say you don't want to be friends with anyone, yet want support?? Sorry.....not from me. That (in my humble opinion) was mean. I'll show you support but you have to be nice.

whoo-hoo not even the full moon yet (9/7) I can't imagine what it will be like then?????? LOL:devious :blah:
