I don't know what to say at this point, BrokenBread. I have addressed this with you up one side and down the next. I believe my remarks have been very clear. How you can continue to not understand my points, and to continue to bring up irrelevancies is beyond me.
I don't think sharing some genes means that another person is me. Sorry. I am not my parents. My children are not me and my husband. It just doesn't work that way.
The destruction of the Temple by Nebuchadnezzar is historically verified by documents outside the Bible, such as the Babylonian Chronicles, as well as by archeological evidence in Jerusalem.
Wait... You think fiction is lies? So, when Jesus uses the fictitious story of the Good Samaritan to teach the moral that we should reach out in compassion to all regardless of ethnicity, you look upon that as a lie?
Um, actually you did. But I've already invested way more time in this discussion than it deserves. I have already twice quoted what you said. If you are interested, you can scroll back. If you aren't interested, that's fine too. I'm moving on.
It certainly implies that you think you are above us, that you are the teacher.
OMG You really should listen to yourself sometime.
Oh, I make no claim to be a teacher in here. I'm here for discussion, which involves mutual sharing. I actually really hate just listening to myself talk. I...
Nicely said.
I don't think the point here has been that there is anything wrong with sharing things about ourselves, especially those things which we find lovely or inspiring. I think the discussion is focusing on those who insist on sharing when others clearly aren't interested, or when the...
The remark of yours that I responded to was:
The phrase "come educate" actually DOES put you on a higher level, that you are the teacher and we are the students. Now, if you want to walk that back, I support you.
Very good question. I have often considered this. Here is the best answer I have to date:
Have you noticed how the protagonists in TV shows are quite different today than back, say, the 70s? Back then, the good guys were totally good, and the bad guys were just bad. But today, writers give...
Yes, which has absolutely nothing to do with forgiveness.
I'm glad you agreed with me. It's still very frustrating trying to follow someone's thoughts when they are not presenting them in a logical manner.
We know that David actually existed. I forget what it is, but we have an archeological find with the words "House of David" inscribed on it. So that's not the question.
Rather, the question is, how do you know which stories about a historical figure actually happened and which are legends? I...
Why would anyone WANT to think something so uncomfortable, something that results in getting bullied, something that results in great unhappiness? It's just nonsense at face value.
It's like saying "Obsessions are not caused by problems with the brain. They are the result of what the person...
What possible relationship does any of this have to do with my remark that you quoted?
Quote: One thing is certain, a pitbull is a kind of dog.
Reply: Yes, and that is why we should be so grateful for Taylor Swift.
Yes, exactly. But there is no doubt that it is the same sensation, just much, much smaller, and so requiring the heightened sensitivity.
I'm not knocking your take on things. You are growing, I am growing. But I'd like to share how things look to me.
1. When we experience something for...
OMG. I can't believe you are still trying to defend your gaslighting.
No one, NO ONE, thinks seduction is sexual violence. In fact, no one even says that sexual harassment is sexual violence. Go get a dictionary, and look up what the word violence means.
I give up. You are a lost cause...
ROFL!!!! So you think that random people with no authority asking you to come here somehow establishes you as the official teacher of Religious Forums????? That it puts you above us?????
I have news for you, bud. You have no authority, no title, no position. You are a regular Joe just like...
