Re: Last Try (I suspect, in vein. Hope I am wrong.)...
cloud9,
I am not "fighting" people who do not agree with me. I have absolutely no idea how you believe that to be the case. All the "squabbling" is over me trying to get people to stay on topic and stop accusing me of things I didn't even do or say (outside their perceptions). I am literally clueless. Maybe you could find an example?
I am also interested for you to point out where I have forced people to "swallow" the Bible as the whole truth. I've never said that. I've never implied it. I don't even BELIEVE that. So, again, I'm clueless. Any examples?
Am I fighting "now"? No, I am correcting you. That's all I am ever doing around this place, and I'm going to have to continue until people get off my back and stop saying things that simply aren't true. You are asserting that I am doing things, saying and projecting things that I am not.
The ONLY thing I am asserting is that I want to tell my story, but I cannot explain my story and how I see things without mentioning God, Jesus and the Bible. It does not concern me if people believe me or not. I can't control that. Nor do I wish to. Nowhere on this entire forum have I complained (even once) of whether people believe me or not.
Al I want is for people to be sincere and genuine, and partake in frank and open conversation, without purposefully pulling my topics to the ground, and then wanting to go back to the tired old religious debates. I KNOW people are understanding my disdain, but few ill own up to it because it's too much fun.
I've said it once. I've said it twice, I'm saying it again. All I want is for people to let their hangups and perceptions about "the Bible" go, and stop accusing me of force feeding it to people. I didn't come here to preach, I came here to participate on the forum with my stories.
Regarding answering in my threads.. I've given up. I'm not replying in any of them anymore (at this moment in time). I can't continue with ANYTHING, until "enough" people get my whole point here that all the accusations against me and what I am purporting to be doing (wrong) is all false and baseless.
Only then can I resume replying and participating in the forum -- in peace (hopefully). At this moment in time, I do not even consider myself a member, I'm just posting in this thread, waiting for enough people to say:
"Ok, ok.. go and have your say, we'll listen and try to keep on topic"..
That's all I want. It's really all I want.
Nevertheless, I have taken note of your information about Mrs. Cannon and I intend to research it. I will respond to it after that (assuming that I'm still bothering with this forum).
