Just BE. It doesn't matter what others think of you, even if they are wrong about what you are saying. IT DOESN'T matter what others think of you. You say you don't care about what others think about you, but you go on and say they HAVE to change their perception of you. Do you realise the implications of that contradiction? It makes your arguments very weak. Because arguments are like a house of cards, and all those contradictions in your argumentation are like missing cards in the structure. A good argument isn't complicated, it FLOWS in the same direction. It doesn't have to be complicated. Complicated arguments are often based on flimsy conceptions and the complication comes from trying to patch up the holes. You should not have to patch things up, it should just flow. Your problem is that you care TOO MUCH... I know you care about the world arround us, and that we are under attack. We realise this... but fighting fire with fire will only create more fires. You can't stop war with war. The only way to win the game is not to play it. By declaring war you are creating more war, not helping it end. I was like you before, I cared too much. But then I realised that you CANNOT change others, you can only change yourself and repeating the same things over and over again won't make the others change. Realise that. You are wasting your energy fighting, when fighting only equates in more fights. ![]() Here is something that I read in a thread on this forum wich helps see what I am trying to say. Credit to that person, don't remember exactly where I got it from.. Being in the mindset of I am nothing, I know nothing keeps me available to everything, and keeps the ego from attaching itself to form and matter, opinions and predominently left brain thinking. ps. excuse my english... I hope I was clear enough and that you don't perceive this as an attack. BTW I did read all your initial post and all the posts after that, and I am on topic incase you say I am not ![]() Sending you all my love, MadSheeple ![]() |

Why is this thread complaining about why my threads turn into religious debates --turning into a religious debate?

Well for sure the initial post in this thread prompted for me to register and try to respond and give a bit of my pointers on things regarding things mentioned about the "seen attacks" by the others on this forum unto yourself.
Reading responds while waiting for my activation to take place on page 1&2 I didn't want to read any more and just IGNORE THE /%"¤ about every response so far. Utterly pointless trolling, attacking, spewing all just pointed out and addressed in the first post... DID ANYONE OF YOU READ ANYTHING?!?!?!? Did anyone think at all? ![]() This for sure won't be a "good" first time post on this forums I would say but I will risk it. Oh I would love to BAN the F/%¤ out of a few people posting instantly if this was my forums if I had any. Ignoring topic, pulling in nonsensical things, flaming and apparent ATTACKING. The utter perfect manifestation off several Trolls?! I so would Love to name them but I won't but it's kinda apparent who they are anyway. But I say this! Don't feed off this post any off you! Trolls are the bane off the internet. And I see they kinda are sucked in like a black hole would draw anything into it, concerning posts about our own WarriorServant here. I have to say WOW! Well anyway... Going back to the first post, the thread starter. WarriorServant I would like to mention a few things on about your tries to try keep people on-topic here won't get you far probably. You mention about the non-seriousness attitude about the forums was it and the sarcasm and jokes. It's the norm on any forum. I have joined and been a member and still a member on quite a few forums around on different topics. It's the norm that things go off from topic and there is always people there to chime in unto things to crack a joke or to maybe seemingly try to put said topic in another direction. Always there are the trolls lingering around. It's impossible to try and keep people in order on the net unless you are the moderator and can ban/delete posts from disorderly people. Or that you have backing by the rulez and the general majority on the forums on said discussion the view etc. You can only enforce if you have the wind behind your back. Your try to enforce "the rulez" here where there is a major bias toward things you want to discuss and the moderators maybe in league whit this view, makes it all futile. You take the battle to them whit the wrong strategy. When people troll on your topics the best you can do for now is ignore them and NEVER EVER respond to them in any kind! Just go forward! I can see it's hard when there is a literal mob off trolls here. But you should have seen the upphill battle you would have taken upon yourself whit things regarding the bible and "it's" god and religion most people see. There is a major bias and growing bias against anything to do whit the bible, you can pay your respects to mass organized religion for that and what it has done and stands on. "It's seen as they worship the bible" But I can see that it's distorted short-sightedness on this. What the mass religion stands for I would say the bible does not stand for looking at core "teachings" and learnings anyone can take from it. But I don't have special knowledge or own verified research but it's something I have pulled out from various things read, seen and discussed. Maybe someone now believes I'm on the "bible" side of things? Well I proudly say I haven't read the bible! Probably won't read unless I sincerely believe I can find the worthy texts of myriads that are really worthy to be read and take in and consider and ponder upon. I'm not a Christian or a follower of any religion! I try to find things that ring true in the hearth if I can, but it's hard to sill out all the **** that's around. Things have gone so bad about the bible and such I see it's PROHIBITED! to discuss on various forums all because the flame and trolling and off course actions of "religion haters". It's pure flame bait! I only see the same happening here. No one want to read the threads because of the "hate" swarming concerning topics about religion and precisely the bible in concert whit religion. The only places you can safely discuss it are on the religious forums, whit strict rules and moderation. Because it basically is prohibited off being discussed by the people around. It's "blasphemy" to discuss from non-believers view! Can you imagine that it's blasphemy? ![]() But discussing it among those I can see, as you trying to be around here is not your interest as you have your own take on things regarding the bible and your won experience whit it? You, would I reckon also be almost kicked out from the "religious forums" unless they are open and free in what you can see and view it in... (I don't know off such a place) I'm interested to see what you have learned and spiritually experienced in conjunction whit the bible. But I must say I don't take it as the words of God. They are myriads of texts from different people and times condensed together. And Jesus? I don't take him as lord either but rather someone who knew about the right ways, and trying to teach this to others, they may or may not have interpreted things correctly, "the receivers". At minimal I truly respect him at least whit current knowledge I have. There is "lost in translation" whit the bible, I must say. And probably things "nonsensical" purely. I didn't read more than page 1 and take a glimpse on page 2 to see same stuff repeating concerning responds. Hopefully I got in what I was thinking about to respond whit after reading it first and then "sidetracked" by the responds. |

[QUOTE=MadSheeple;200623] Of course you will come out and say you didn't say that anywhere in your post. That is true, you didn't say it... But you DID it. It is what stands out in your posts. It's not the words you use, it's the way you use them. You use them negativly, you might not see it, but it is only because you don't allow yourself to see it. [/quuote] What posts? Most of my posts have been me flapping my arms about getting people to stay on topic. STILL I hav enot gone into ANY detail about what I actually DO believe about hardly ANYTHING. Quote:

Then what have you come here to do? Just do it... What is stopping you from talking about yourself and your experience, please help us understand you. We can't do that if you keep repeating the same things over and over again. Help us understand. Stop saying you want to talk about something and actually do it. Take your destiny into your own hands. Your words do not match your actions. Make your words match your actions then maybe we can understand.

You see it as happy thoughts, or wishful thinking. It is not. It is understanding how consciousness shapes reality. It is clear maintained focus with strong intention, our most precious gift. If you do not observe its action in your own life, it is always time to look at it with a new perspective.
Namaste, Steven |

I am not here for religious debates. I am here to discuss and talk about my life experiences. My life experience involve the Bible (that's just the way it is). I'll say it another way. I didn't come here on a sole mission to preach the Bible because I know it's not a religious forum. I came here to discuss my life experiences. But I cannot do that as long as people keep getting all upset because I mentioned the Bible. I have to, it's a part of my life. There's no way around it. I want people to stick to my broader topics and refrain from taking every single thread I make down a religious debate path. What I am asking is not much and I just want to be able to freely talk about my life experiences and the problems I see in the world. I want people to take my threads for what they are and respond to them in context. That can't happen unless the moderators enforce a rule where members must stay on topic and not blatantly take a thread down a path of jokes and mockery. I understand that sometimes people want to crack the odd joke about something or insert humor, and as long as it's on topic I am fine with that. I am a member of many forums. I know how things go. I am also not saying anyone should believe or accept what I say. It's not about anyone being right or wrong. It's just about letting me be able to speak and stop ruining all my threads. It has been suggested many times (including in PM) that I should just ignore the people who insert religious debates. That's all well and good but once it starts it never stops. This means I cannot ever post any topic and have anyone take into consideration my views of the world because it never gets past two or three responses before it's straight back to the old religious debate (again, and again). Again, I will say it another way: I just want people to stick to the topic and refrain from turning every single thread into a mockery filled joke, or a big long drawn out debate about churches and religions. If I cannot get this forum to see what I am saying, no one can ever have a discussion with me about my life experiences because it never gets that far. It gets stopped before it starts. People are saying "I wont accept other people's views". Well the conversation never gets that far. There's never been ANY debate over "views". People are saying I just want to be right and everyone else is wrong. No, the topics never get that far either. I just want people to stay on topic and refrain from religious debates. I am not asking much. Then I can finally make long and interesting threads all about things I have seen and experienced. Then people can discuss things with me and we call all have an interesting conversation. This whole thread and the behavior of the members is ridiculous. The abount of times people have injected religious debates into a thread asking people not to do it is mind boggling to me. |

BY you replying to "off topic comments" guarantees that others will comment..off topic...
if the topic is what concerns you the most...why are you not ignoring..off topic posts??? and many have asked you questions..ON TOPIC and you fail to respond...this is a game for you... you need love. |

If you do not have anything to add about the original post, why respond? I am responding to each person in THIS thread so that if I should go and make another sincere and genuine post about a concern I have to do with the world, people will know that I want them to stay on topic. I am just trying to drum into people's heads, because the moderators wont do their job: STAY ON TOPIC! |

I am waiting for responses that address the topic.
If anyone has read the original post and has something to say, I'm all ears. If not, I suggest you go find another thread to post in. |

WarriorServant turn your post quantity into quality or you will have to leave. This is not what the forum is all about - others maybe but not this one. If you don't like it go and post somewhere else because this community has clearly said it does not like your style - and I have to agree. Take the hint - change or leave. G |

My post count has absolutely nothing to do with anything. If you are not going to stay on topic, you should not post a response in this thread. If you have a problem with my post count (which is unbelievable to me), you should send a PM, not interrupt a thread that I created with serious and genuine concerns. Asking me to leave is not solving any problem outlined in this thread -- especially over as something as ridiculous as the number under my name. |

Will your next post be defending your right to free speech (which you already have) or will it be continuing to share your story? The right to free speech has to go hand in hand with the right for people to choose to believe. It's up to you. Are you the war monger or the peach bringer? Will you serve the forum or will you fight it? |
