Rules of discussion:
No ugly debating about who is right and who is wrong.
This is meant to be a discussion for discovery and affirmation.
No proselytizing or preaching.


Newleaf, thank you for ignoring the guidelines at every opportunity. You have been proselytizing, proselytizing, proselytizing and proselytizing. I feel like I've been bashed over the head repeatedly with with a large iron club. Everyone in here has bent over backwards to be respectful towards your belief system, and you keep proselytizing. Because you think you are "right," and therefore that gives you the right to ignore guidelines. "Right" as determined by your version of your religion, which condemns everyone and every belief system which is not yours.

You wax ecstatic about the blood of your version of God, but seem unconcerned about the blood gushing from my skull caused by the repeated smashing of your iron club, aka, proselytization.

I guess my blood doesn't count, because I don't have the "right" religious indoctrination.

Which is why we had the Crusades.
And the Inquisition.
And the Salem "witch" trials.
And the Holocaust.
And gays being murdered, today.

But of course, you wouldn't do anything like that. You wish to preserve my body so you can bludgeon my soul.

Which is exactly what it feels like from here.

And for the record -- I felt that everyone else understood that the guidelines were for all of us.
