Personally, I don't begrudge anyone their faith, even if I view such faith as grounded in falsehood. Clearly you are getting something out of it that makes the scary world a little less scary.
For me though, I'd rather have no answer than the wrong answer
Originally posted by josephwI can't see how the supposedly divine message you seek to pass on will persuade anyone or gain anyone's approval as long as you seem to be content to merely channel Dasa the way you do. Have you ever converted anyone to your faith by speaking about it in the way you do in cyberspace?
I ain't nicer than Jesus, Mr. arrogant, and I don't need your approval.
Originally posted by josephwMy reply was not about "God". It was about stuff you say and the way you conduct yourself. You ought not to conflate the two, I think. There was candour certainly, but no "hatred".
To the above you reply with thinly veiled contempt. Your hatred of God is duly noted.
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeBut how can you know that it is grounded in falsehood, when you yourself have no truth of your own?

Originally posted by FMFWell the beliefs you shared were about what you lack faith in, and wherein your don't believe. I am interested wherein your faith now lies and what you do believe.
[b]Why are you happy for me to believe in something that you are convinced is false?
You have already asked me about this repeatedly. I have answered, several times. But you ignored what I said. And you're ignoring it again now.
Surely if your beliefs are true and mine are false you would be happy to share your beliefs with me so that I may be just ...[text shortened]... g again even though you showed no interest in my answers the previous times you asked about it..
Originally posted by FetchmyjunkI have already talked to you about this, in some detail, repeatedly, but every time you seemed to just ignore it and/or you just launched into some of your ripcord question routines that paid no apparent heed to what I had written. So I am not interested in typing anything out about it for you. Hang around, maybe I will discuss it with someone else one of these days, and you can read it. I tried to share with you before but I came to the conclusion that you were just trolling me.

Originally posted by FMFI ignored 'the truth' that you laid out before me? If you say so...

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkNo. As it is with your chosen persona/behaviour here, you simply ignored the content of what I posted. You did not engage it. You did not even acknowledge it. You acted as if I hadn't posted anything. You showed no interest in a genuine conversation.

Indeed, you seem always only to be interested in a kind of parody of discourse in which you ignore what people [who disagree with you] say, and just repeat the same assertions over and over and over again.
It's not a matter of whether or not you believe the same things as me or whether you think I speak the "truth". It's a matter of your lack of common decency.
Originally posted by FMFWhich specific posts content in which you stated what you believe to be 'the truth' do you feel I did not acknowledge or engage? If you can't even give me one example then I will have to conclude that maybe you think I acted as if you hadn't posted anything because you had in fact posted nothing. I am showing interest in a genuine conversation, you are the one who is dodging questions and pretending to have answered them.

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkAh ha... I think this "...I am showing interest in a genuine conversation, you are the one who is dodging questions and pretending to have answered them" is the denouement and/or punchline [of your trolling routine] that you have had in mind all along.

Originally posted by FMFActually I am genuinely interested in what exactly you view to be 'the truth'. If you don't want to tell me or can't tell me and pretend that you have done so before then so be it.

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkI've got to the point where, either, [1] if you are intellectually disabled (or socially handicapped) in some way, as seems to be a distinct possibility, then I certainly don't want to be trading abrasive or critical remarks of any kind with you anymore, [and if this is indeed the case, I retract my comment that you lack common decency]. If, then, you are ill or damaged in some way, I am no longer interested in whether you now suddenly claim you are "genuinely interested" or not. Is that understood?
Actually I am genuinely interested in what exactly you view to be 'the truth'. If you don't want to tell me or can't tell me and pretend that you have done so before then so be it.
...or [2] if you are, in fact, a normal healthy person [or an adolescent, as quite a few people here suspect] and you're merely taking advantage of a bit of internet disinhibition syndrome and trolling the community, including me, with your routine of repetition, repetition, repetition, ignore, ignore, ignore, punctuated by copy pastes of other people's ideas and writing when asked about your own beliefs, then I am tired of it.
