luci, no where in this thread have I seen the words 'bugfuck' or 'looney'

quote:
In fact so far all I have seen are diverging views
Yes. Diverging views with some mockery thrown in for good measure. That's cool. That's how it goes sometimes on here. It's just that it would be nice for those debating me to show the same courtesy I have about not belittling their belief or lack thereof. Some do show it, others do not. As much as I have disagreed with any of them, I have never felt the need to laugh at what they consider important or sacred.
quote:
I don't know how else to say this but you are so hyper defensive that you invite what you see as being lumped in with the bugfuck etc
Call it hyper-defensive or whatever, camille. It's not going to change my thoughts. If someone comes on here and calls any group as a whole (Jews, Muslims, blacks, lesbians, transsexuals - you name it) "looney" or "bugfuck" and then proceeds to ridicule them, there's an uproar. Unless it's Christians. Whole threads are started for the express purpose of ridiculing them and that's so cool and funny. Well, I simply disagree. Whenever that's done, I respond. That's not being hyper-defensive. That's saying my piece on a subject that's important to me just like everyone else is entitled to do.
quote:
I like your posts and you seem like a pretty good person but... not every person who is not a christian is against you
I never said anyone was "against me." I'm not a conspiracy freak. What I have said is what I just restated above. Why is it cool to mock Christians and not other groups? That's my point, nothing about anyone being "against me."
quote:
Maybe against your religion, but not you
Well, as important as it is to me, that's hard to separate. I've seen you get quite irate yourself when the subject of disabilities/illness arises. You don't like the implication that you aren't just as valuable as a sub because of your health problems. If I came on here once a week and started a thread about what a joke it is to have a slave who couldn't serve in all ways because of physical problems, you'd rip me a new one and I don't blame you. That's how I feel about the weekly laugh-at-the -loony-Christians bit. Tedious and trying, indeed.
quote:
Unfortunately I have seen you overreact a lot of times when the word god is used in the forums
Overreact is your interpretation. I don't believe I have overreacted but I have definitely reacted when God is mocked. Just a personal pet peeve of mine. I am far from the only one who has ever felt strongly about an issue and always responds to threads about certain issues. You wanna read some overreacting, read the political and abortion threads. Geesh!
quote:
There IS a fundamental christian right movement but I have not seen anyone here say that you are a part of that, yet you defend yourself as if they are
First of all, I don't have to "defend" myself about anything. I only speak my point of view. Secondly, who says I'm not part of the "fundamental Christian Right movement?" And what if I were?
quote:
Maybe if you stopped trying to defend against something only you see will make a difference?
Again, not defending. Speaking my viewpoint. Secondly, there won't be any difference. The only diffference that anyone seems to want is that the threads continue as they do and I never comment about them. Sorry, I have as much right to speak my mind as anyone else does. Of course I'm the one always considered "defensive" because I'm the one (of many others, I'd guess) whose beliefs are being laughed at. If I came on once a week and started a thread for the express purpose of ridiculing others' beliefs, they might appear a bit "defensive" as well. But that will not happen. There's no one whose deeply-held spiritual beliefs bother me so much that I have to publicly attack them (the beliefs).
quote:
Don't assume that someone not liking the far christian right is saying that they don't like you?
I never have assumed that. I hope people "like me" but if they don't, so what? I'm not going to keep my viewpoints hidden so they will.
quote:
Sigh. I don't feel like I am explaining this well at all. If you are upset at my words then I utterly failed with my point lol.
Not upset at all. I just don't understand how anyone feels I'm somehow wrong for stating my own beliefs and maintaining that those who don't believe them, should at least respect them and not ridicule and mock the God and religion that's sacred to me. Most don't but some do. Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles. As long as such behavior is approved of and laughed at, it's just encouraged. I'm sorry you can't see my real motivation rather than just seeing me as a defensive paranoid who thinks no one likes me. That's not the case at all. Thanks for your reply, camille.............luci

I see your point, you know, even if I don't agree. I hope you see mine.
