No one can edit your posts (except mods) and change what you have typed.
Say what you want, as fully and completely as you want - and it will be up before anyone can stop you.
People may respond how they want but that's not in your control, so don't worry. You don't have to try to clear a solemn vacuum roundabout before you lay down your testimony.
Just put it out.
You can't control others. You can only control yourself.
Trying to control others is futile.
Let your words speak for themselves.
If someone is open to what you say they will be able to ignore the opposition on their own.
Leave the rest in god's hands.

Ok, I am able to "physically type what I want", but I am not able to "converse" with people that are interested, because the majority that's "uninterested" comes along and purposeful derails my threads, taking everything back to a religious debate -- which I've said a thousand times, I am completely and utterly uninterested in. I am sick and tired of every thread I make going back to the same tired old direction which I have absolutely NO interest in. I am not going to post the myriad of things I want to post if the SAME people are going to bring up the SAME things about religion in EVERY thread, over and over and over and over again -- to0tally ignoring the original post, just because they have something they'd like "the POSTER to know about how the feel about the Bible". It's ridiculous.
I wont mind if I mention something about the Bible or Jesus and that causes someone to raise a question (or disbelief) about the "actual thing I said".. but to just swing into a thread, not really care or have any idea about what's being discussed and simply pop out with: "Well here's what I think of the Bible..." ... I'm SICK of it! Reply to the topic, or to the comments of the topic _ IN CONTEXT! I'm not asking much!
I didn't come here for religious debates. I came here because I have a LOT of things I want to share and I can never get more than 3 responses into a thread before it goes back to: "Oh Bible basher", "Oh preacher", "I don't believe in the Bible, it's a storybook"... well good for YOU! Go make a thread about it then. We can all have 50,000 threads about why various people don't believe the Bible, but I would like MY threads to stay on topic!
