Look Guys,
I can't take it, I try my best to be the best person I can be, I've been good to people, I respect peoples beliefs. But there is a thread developing, That's devolved from a debate with some nut job, To outright attacks on Christianity.
I am only human, And people can think what they want to think about God. But when I'm doing my best to show respect for everyone and people are shitting all over God, Who I outspokenly believe in and worship.
Yeah, It makes this place a place I don't really want to be. I haven't asked for unreasonable things, I'm not an unreasonable person. But people don't realize when you slap at the idea of God hard enough, It's not God that feels it, People who believe in him feel it, They feel it from people who they have respected and defended and called friends.
I don't care what people think, Or what they express. But I have to be in an environment where it's okay to be who I am. Where what I believe in, Is acceptable.
Religion is complicated, It's something people are taught to put a priority on above all other things. I can't help that some people see it a different way, I don't even care that they see it a different way.
When someone attacks the idea of something I have been raised my entire life to love above all else.
It's hurtful. especially when I'm not the one doing the prophesying. Look, You guys know who you are, I'm not here to call people out, I've given you friendship and respect. I've treated you as friends and communed with you. All I ask is the basic human decency to not savagely dump all over something that is this important to me. If My friendship and presence here at these forums have any worth, If my contributions have any impact. All I ask is please, God is not an imaginary concept to some people. Some people wake up every day And pray to God because that's where they believe their Daughters are.
You don't have to believe in God, You don't have to respect God, You don't have to convert, Respect the idea that God is something unimaginably important to many people.
If after I have said these things, People can't rationalize, Hey, Shadow has been a pretty decent person, Maybe we shouldn't shit publicly all over his most solemn belief. It's logic, After everything, If I haven't earned that kind of respect, From everyone, From the Top administration. To the guy that just came in to read an article. Then Nothing I am, Nothing I've done, Nothing I can do, Will ever change that.
It's okay to believe whatever you want to believe. But when you speak to me and tell me how I'm your friend, And you didn't mean me, Then you Attack my personal belief system.
How Am I supposed to feel? I've never been anything but up front with my feelings and intentions.
I've been respectful to everyone about their beliefs.
But if people can't at least chill out to the point of being decent human beings I will leave, And I won't return. Respect is not something I should have to beg for.
Not kidding on any level SP.
