People on here, ask you and others a question and request a simple yes or no. You can't do that, you have to start quoting bible verses and preaching a sermon. How hard is it to answer simple yes.......or no? Unless of course you are, as I very much suspect, attempting to distance yourself from any guilt associated with the answer, and instead want to lay all the blame at Creators feet.
This is exactly why I said what I did in another thread when QON asked a question of Annella and jcribb and also asked they use their own thoughts on it. I said I highly doubted Annella would answer it - my exact words were: "Without using the standard pool of answers ie the Bible says, it might not be answered. That takes some out-of-the-box thinking and that's definitely not something I see from one person you asked." It did not get answered and I was informed I was 'baiting' Annella. Isn't it funny that everytime she is called out on anything it is 'baiting', singling out, making her the scapegoat'? Wow, I wish I was that special. I need to stop answering what I am asked and I need to stop admitting when I am wrong or out of line. I'll leave that to all the others who do it from now on and I'll use the 'being picked on' defense instead. Problem being, I have no book to draw all my words from or back me up. Hmm, I'll have to ponder that one awhile and see what I can come up with.
Annella, I don't think you have an idea what freedom of thought even is. How can you when every single thing comes down to what is in the Bible? Telling everyone who doesn't agree with you "It's your opinion, you're entitled to it." and the rest of your standard evasiveness is NOT giving an answer when you are asked about anything. Maybe you should look at what passive-aggressive behavior means, because I don't think you have a clue. It has NOTHING to do with "being open about your faith and what the word of god says" as you wrote. If you did, you would realize you are the epitome of it on this forum. The oh so sweet "love yous, the hearts, the prayers for people who don't ask for them" and the rest you dole out to the ones you agree with, the ones you try to make submissive by your words, don't fly when put up against the "hate Islamics, don't encourage the homosexuals - unless they are the ones you can 'fix' - instead go out and preach against someone else's life and be proud of yourself for doing it." That is a message of love, along with all the rest of your intolerance, for anything not in that book?
This has nothing to do with whatever you want to live your life by. It has everything to do with dictating how you feel others should live theirs. Quit sounding like the robot who got the very best programming - you aren't all that.
LOL For one thing, I have no idea what your talking about? What question are you talking about? Again jordandog it matters little to me what you think of me.......or your opinion of me. However, your free to give it.
There are 3 on here that I always disagree with....you, qon, and walksalone. All three of you have made it quite clear that you don't agree with me.....great! So we disagree. What is your problem? Nothing you say is going to make me agree with you. Call all the names you want, apply all the negative titles, I don't care.....got it?
NOTHING you post is going to change my stance (Christian) or my way of posting! As far as "dictating" how others should live their life? What are you referring to? I love how you guys throw out these half baked statements, and then when I ask what you mean? You don't say. I think you just throw things out there that seem to sound good to you, when in actuality they make no sense.
You seem to have a lousy memory when it is convenient. This is the question from QON in thread "killing in the name of...":

Jcribb and Annella -- I appreciate your responses, really I do, but you didn't answer my question. I didn't ask if you wanted me to go to hell, I asked if you think solely for being a non-believer, I *deserve* it. It's a yes or no question.
Do YOU guys think it is right to punish otherwise good people forever on the sole basis of being skeptical of the god claims, OR being in the wrong religion? Yes or no. Don't say "only god can judge"; I really want to know if deep in your heart, you think it's morally correct?

Not one of us throws out any "half-baked statements" and when we get asked a question as to what we are talking about, we provide an answer. Of course you disagree with the 3 of us! We are
the only ones who seem to have the cojones to call you out on the BS you write. This has not one thing to do with 'liking you', I don't know you as a person, I know you by what you write on here. I do not like prejudice, I do not like superiority, and I do not like fake fawning over people - it doesn't matter if it is you or anyone else on here, you just seem to be the one who does it the most.
In your mind, the Bible 'dictates' how the whole world should be and how everyone should act. That is NOT how the real world works and it shows very little love of your fellow human unless they meet the standards set forth in that book. You choose to live the way you want and I choose to live the way I want, who cares? I don't care either if we disagree, never have. Now, since we are strictly on a website, that is my only source to voice my thoughts so i wll apply this in that context. What I do care about are all the people on FC who might be gay, who might be Islamic/Muslims, who might be absolutely terrified because they are dying right now and what do they see? They see the horrendous words you write as a follower and preacher of what is in one book and you condemning them for how they live. Remember (I know you do) talking about all the christians who wrote you because they were soooo afraid to post on here before you came along because of the 'big, bad, gang of us' who don't agree with you? Well, look at the flipside of that. Do you ever wonder who else is afraid because of what THEY see? Now put that out in real life and you'll have a HUGE clue why I get so bothered by some of what you write.
Gay teenagers should not be committing suicide because of bullies under the guise of god's word. That is but one thing. I am NOT saying you are solely responsible for anything, so leave that alone this time. You are a 'RIGHT-FIGHTER'. You will fight to be right no matter what it takes. You might win one battle, but lose the entire war and that is NOT what this world needs right now.
edited to add: By the way, if what I say or 'we' say, makes no sense to you, maybe you just aren't able to grasp it because everyone else seems to understand it just fine.
