Seriously, are your beliefs so fragile as that? I don't think so. You are a grownup. Believe whatever you like, and if you can't deal with others having none of it, then just stay out of religious discussions.
No, I'm putting the proper perspective on things if you can't be respectful then you don't get any respect, What are you like five?What are you, twelve?
how can one Judge God and Christianity in the harsh light they do?
I've tried leaving several times, I'm not mentally stable. I don't possess the facilities to deal with certain things anymore.Is this the question you asked for a answer to?
The answer is no one. Not if you are Christian. I know there is a higher power. I do not believe in organized religion and I believe the bible has been played around too much with by man. It is no longer just God's word.
The All Knowing; All Seeing; Alpha & Omega, the beginning and the end, God that you speak of, is not concerned about what others say about him. He does not need protecting.
You, on the other hand, do. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. It was never my intent to upset you. My words were meant for the OP of the offending thread.
My husband asked me to read and post in this topic.
Faith is a private matter. its between you and God/The Goddess. One should not force faith upon anther. You should just ignore those who try to push their faith upon you. I can say WICCA is a true way. But unless your heart speaks to you about WICCA then all I say are empty words. Your faith is yours.
Blessed Be

If I can't get basic human respect
No one directly disrespected me, But people do not understand, That even though they have ill views on Religion, There are religious people in the world. I ask you, You love AE right? I know you do, So what if there was a growing hatred for AE? What if people made accusations about AE? Painful accusations that hurt everything you stood for? would you not be angry? especially if those people were your friends?Exactly, this alleged god is a public figurehead (in the true meaning of the word) and open to scrutiny and questioning...This in not a religious forum, I did point this out in that wretched thread, someone wanting to discuss religion in an Alien/UFO forum is beyond my understanding...
I do not see where anyone has disrespected you here, not in that wretched thread and not in this thread, if you are really meaning to get respect for Christianity or for the god you worship then that is a completely different thing, then it is not personal type of respect you're seeking...If you are demanding respect for Christianity or its god then you're beating a dead horse, that is a futile thing to ask or demand of anyone that this is non-Christian IMO...I will never give the Christian religion nor its god any respect, nor Islam's god or any other religious god, but that says nothing of the people who follow them, I have some good friends who are Christians, Muslims, and some Hindu...We get along great and do not push our beliefs on one another, why ruin a good thing, we are all grown-ups and live different lives and see that clearly...We respect one another and that respect comes from acknowledging that we have differing and possibly conflicting beliefs and that we are going to agree to disagree sometimes over it, I do not have to respect some god named Allah in order to show respect to my muslim friend and its not demanded of me either...This is common sense shyte here
If you cannot deal with people having opposing views of your religion then don't get involved in that thread, you said a few times in that thread you were done with it, then kept going back in, you have no one to blame but yourself for staying involved in there...

I've done nothing wrong but demand the same respect I've shown, And it's easier for people to just call me the bad guy and forget about the issue.
