Yeah I am. I have never "forced religion" on anyone. I never instigate religious discussion outside the designated theology thread. If people ASK me about it, i'll take the time to respond but i never bring the subject up myself, infact try not too i come here to get away from all that.
I don't actually think you're forcing religion on anyone - but what you are doing is preaching a moral high ground that is based on ignorance more than anything else. The complete opposite attitude to have on an HR forum - where you aren't judging others for what they're doing but instead offer the best help you can give to keep them safe. And before you say abstinence is the answer, well no it isn't that simple unfortunately. You yourself drink frequently so that can't ever be a legitimate suggestion to others.
background is irrelevent, degradation is degradation regardless of it's orientation. I dont think many christians would see the funny side to having Jesus's crucifixion mocked.
I dunno, my background shows I'm not biased in my views of christianity, i'm not from any other faith - I come from a country where the emphasis is less on the doctrine and more of a cultural identity of being christian, when people ask me there I will tell them christian, because that is how they understand my background. I come from a long line of orthodox priests as well - they were good people who helped generations of communities - again, have no hatred towards Christian people. What I don't enjoy is someone using their beliefs as a platform to dictate to a whole forum what is 'right' and 'wrong'.
How is the crucifixion mocked? Why isn't it empowering that he's rocking that cross? Never showing a moment's weakness? See it's pretty open to interpretation. Have you never heard of Christian Rock? They would love that avatar! :D And as we know, plenty of people were crucified, you're just assuming it's JC. Is it alright mocking someone else's crucifixion?
lol what??
i tried a couple of drugs that i was very common with previously, my interest was re-trying them from a new perspective to discern if they were good or bad.
lolwut? I recall it was hash (nepalese?) and heroin which you were experimenting with and saying provided you with some very deep spiritual insights at the time. That's fine you seemed quite serious about it all - but now would you still say they're 'bad' and there's nothing to be gained from them? What happened?
Also - the denial about your drinking is pretty astonishing, you seemingly lose all control / care and let loose with so much spam, bringing Evey along for the ride - it just makes you come across like you have some quite deep rooted misery/boredom/resentment...then no matter what, get right back up on the high horse to scorn the rest of our lifestyle choices.
Why not find a group of people who want to hear your beliefs and share the same values? All that does here is disrupt. If you stuck to theology threads that's cool with me - it is your expertise after all and actual discussion arises.
Starting drama over avatars, pfft (I sincerely hoped you were joking earlier - still think you are, otherwise report it).
Just saying - this is how it comes across to me.
Much love raasy xxxxx
