Might I suggest you look to yourself first prior to apportioning blame to others.

The mods ALLOW it, DEFEND it, and even PARTICIPATE in it!

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

I CAN'T POST IN PEACE!

It concerns me deeply that you are the only person on a forum of thousands who would appear to have this problem. I have had my fair share of run-ins here, and have had to swallow my pride and lick my self inflicted wounds and guess what, I am stronger for it, I have a deeper understanding of the "brethren" who gather here whom I am not at all ashamed to call "brother" and "sister". There was a proviso however, this kinship was not handed to me on a plate, I had to earn my place, I had to earn respect and I had to respect others in kind, both their differences and their foibles.

I have said 400 times, I am NOT religious, I didn't come her to talk about religion. 95% of anything I say doesn't even have anything to DO with religion --

Well, honestly, what is the figure? 95% is greater than zero, even in string theory.

but every thread is taken down that path!

Once again, look to yourself for the root cause of the problem, do you see a pattern here? I certainly do. This reminds me of the army when you had one joker who continuosly marched out of step. Guess what cured that, the guilty party being brought to awareness through pain, yes, a 10 mile route march at double time with a full back pack. Bingo, no more whinging, not after the painful awakening that he needed so as to look at what beat the others were marching to.

All because the members WANT it to go that way, because SOME members don't "like" some of the other things I am saying. They are simply looking for a way to shut me up, so the point at my Bible and say: 'THAT'S THE REASON!"

NEW RULE NEEDS TO BE MADE!

So all must change to suite 1? I think not. This is to say the least hysterical.

The rule is as such:

If someone posts a topic, members should NOT be allowed to INJECT into the topic, their discontentment about what they perceive the ORIGINAL POSTER to "believe", instead of replying to the {{{TOPIC}}}! It ruins the topic and it's happening in every one of my threads! I am even getting heaps of PM's with long stories about how people were abused by "religion" when they were kids.

That's sad, BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH {{{ME}}}?

I AM NOT ASKING MUCH!

I AM EMPHATIC ABOUT THIS RULE!

IT NEEDS TO BE MADE ON THE FORUM!

Hitler was also emphatic that he was right and everyone else was wrong. Ultimately it did not make the whole sordid mess "right", did it?

I have tried VERY hard to participate in the forum, but every time I post, SOMEONE ALWAYS starts on a {{{{TANGENT}}}} about how much they hate the Bible, or God, or they tell me how hard their upbringing was (in some crazed church).. and it is DISTRACTING MY SINCERE ATTEMPTS TO POST ON THE FORUM!

That was a harsh statement, do you envisage that anyone will take you into their confidence now after belittling in such an out of hand manner? You owe those people a profound apology, to say the least.

The ONLY thing that is needed to START this rhetoric is the mere MENTION of "Jesus" or "God". It gets BLOWN WAY OUT OF PROPORTION and it is HIGHLY DISTRACTING -- not to mention incredibly unfair (AND LOW)!

I just toolk a quick look and there are 20 pages TWENTY pages, of posts with Jesus mentioned. Are you trying to tell me that all 20 pages are blown out of proportion? There are people here who often mention "The Lord" and "Jesus" and they are NEVER attacked, but then, they do not get all ANTAGONISTIC about their posts and they listen to whatever argument is brought forth.

Ok, I acknowledge that some of my posts are NOT "Oh, you're all wonderful, just keep doing what you're doing".. but instead of displaying TRUE intelligence and responding with any OBJECTIONS they have, the members take the low road and say:

Instead of displaying "true intelligence"? I beg your pardon, this is somewhat the pot calling the kettle black don't you think?

"oh you're here preaching"

"The Bible is just a book"

BLAH BLOAH BLAH!!!

WHY????? The threads aren't even ABOUT the Bible.

MODERATORS YOU NEED TO TO A BETTER JOB!

YOU CANNOT ALLOW THIS BEHAVIOR TO CONTINUE!

YOU CANNOT "PARTICIPATE" IN IT.

Before reaching the end of this response, I need to remind you of something. You once posed a series of questions SPECIFICALLY about the bible and you asked for peoples responses. I responded to that series of questions and got blown oput of the water by you and some person who called themselves M1. Now, if indeed, as was said earlier in this thread, you and M1 are the self same person, you have a HUGE problem. We do not appreciate deceit, lies and double agendas. You need to realise something and the sooner you wake up to this the better, you are the only one who has the problem. You are the one who is suffering with the persecution complex, you are the one being deceitful (if you are M1) and it is YOU who needs to make a new rule. This rule is simple. Be in love ALL THE TIME.

..and the excuse of "well that's just the way it goes, you wont get everyone to agree with you" IS A COPOUT!

DO YOUR JOBS!

And stop telling everyone off, it just isn't right not to mention incredibly immature.

Believe it when I say....

In Love
