"However I am not going to push my beliefs on you or "make" you believe what I do. What I am going to do is thank God whenever and however I feel to. Thank God it is still a free country!"

Jaymie, you'd make a quality Unitarian. :lol:

I usually am succinct on this whole subject, so I'll try to be again:

Religion is not the truth, God is. Live well, respect well, and leave this earth at least as good of a place as you entered it. Do these things and any God I'd be proud to be a part of will accept you into his good graces. If believing in one particular doctrine is the only way to enter Heaven, then I eagerly await Hell.

What a fantastic ethos! I may have found a branch of Christianity that I agree with! Thanks Kago :wink2:

I'm not really sure if I have beliefs and I still feel this post doesn't deserve a comment. I really feel it should be deleted.

Well, I consider myself a secular humanist and i dont buy into the whole 'god' thing either. HOWEVER, who the hell are you to go around and call people retarded? Dont you have any f*cking manners? You are demonstrating that you are, in fact, the one with minimal brain activity with a post like that.

...But conveniently duck behind the "free will" bullshit anytime anyone asks about why six million Jews were slaughtered by the nazi's? Or why a perfectly innocent baby is allowed to get murdered by it's drugged out/psychotic/sadistic parents?

If I hear one more brain dead turd thanking "god" for their accomplishments at an award show I think I'm going to vomit.

Perhaps the saddest part of all is that these brain, dead poor excuses of protoplasm have the right to vote.

Ughhhhhh

Your post, Draz, most certainly does not present you or your cause in an attractive light. This would be because you have salted your extremely simplistic argument with vulgarities, insults, and grammatical mistakes. (Neither Nazis, a plural noun, nor the possessive pronoun, its, should be apostrophized; and Nazi should be capitalized as this is a proper noun.) I am also an atheist. If you want to make a point, this ain't the way to do it.

Can anyone say TROLL!!!

I'm ashamed to say I got fooled by this and I hope that nobody thought that my post was in support of the OP. Although I am not Christian, I respect all beliefs and should have paid closer attention to the tone of the subject to have recognized it for what it was.

Yeah, we don't get many trolls in here, so it is easy to be caught unaware. Trolls like nothing more than seeing people get all het up and responding to their posts with outrage. All I can suggest is:

We've had a few troll efforts (I could count them on both hands) in the time I've been here. I don't think many aren't able to recognize them for what they are. If you can't, post count is usually a dead giveaway. Sometimes we bite, knowing they're trolls, because it can still make for a fun discussion. :biggrin:

I agree with Wheetsin. Trolls can be kinda fun.

Me too. I like catching them up in their own "logic". Kind of like a good place to sharpen the claws.:wink2:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
