Why Mock Me?

[Theland]

Why?

[-SharonA-]

Who is mocking you and why, for your religious view which you are entitled to?

[Theland]

It appears that my beliefs are upsetting to some. For stating what I believe I am accused of preaching and stuffing my views down the throats of others. I don't, but it is something of a sport on here to join a mob and then attack me.
If I complain I am accused of becoming a martyr.
A no win situation.

Theland, maybe this is not the right forum for you.
Why don't you try another like-minded forum where you can vent, discuss and laud the Lord.

I've not looked closely enough to detect any mocking- in fact I have found quite a few posters on here share your intolerance, and what seems to me at times hatred, towards certain races, cultures and religions and I suppose I do wonder whether Jesus , if he existed, or your God would have shared that intolerance

[murraymints]

I would not fret Theland..we are all entitled to our own beliefs..whatever they may be..

[waterboatman]

Quite. Don't let them worry you theland.

[NoMercy]

People don't mock you as such, Theland, but rather their posts have a tendency to reflect your incredulity and disdain for beliefs that oppose your own.

What I will say is that a small handful of people on AB are well versed on the bible and the Q'uran and put up more reasoned and informed arguments against religion than you have ever done on its behalf.

Urging people to search youtube to find proof of Jesus' existence and role as the son of God is preposterous. Youtube wasn't exactly around when people were riding donkeys, paying for their loaves of bread in denarii and stoning felons in the marketplace.

Maybe the switching between the fire and brimstone stuff and drinking lager in your underwear confuses people.

They may form the opinion that you're neither one thing or the other.

[Kromovaracun]

Because you're quite funny

Your comments on the thread yesterday about Syria and something about being prophesised in the bible had me wrestling my face from my hands.

I won't mock you, but when you spout some utter cobblers like you were yesterday which you have gleaned from an old work of fiction, in the News section no less, then I retain the right to call it cobblers.

[ummmm]

I agree with DeskDiary. Stick to R&S.

You relish being seen to suffer for your faith, Theland. Posts like this are nothing more than attention seeking.

[ToraToraTora]

the problem, is theland, like many who believe in a brand of religious fairy tale, it is not enough for you, you want to preach to others. When any sensible person can see it's complete mumbo jumbo and also the cause of a great deal of the problems on earth it is not surprising that mocking does ensue.

Not upsetting. Laughable maybe.

//For stating what I believe I am accused of preaching and stuffing my views down the throats of others//
That's because you do.

// I don't,//
You do.

//but it is something of a sport on here to join a mob and then attack me//
Stop being a martyr.

//If I complain I am accused of becoming a martyr//
I see what you mean ;-)

//A no win situation//
Yes, that tends to be the case when people question ur posts and you fail to answer.

Take your socks off.
Crack a can of lager.
Enjoy life while you can
Don't worry, be happy.

[Voltage]

exactly ozzy religion and politics the scourge of the earth!!

[nailit]

Theland, you are quiet happy to mock the beliefs of others (Islam for instance)and the views of atheists but get upset when your own religious views are held to account. Kettle, pot and black mate. Grow a pair for God's sakes.

[jackthehat]

Because you make it so easy?

You display exactly the same proselytising behavoiur you condemn in others.
Why exhort people to be safe and happy in your religion when you so obviously are not?

///for God's sakes/// ^^^

Ah, another believer! ;o)

[maggiebee]

Theland, I always read your posts but wonder exactly why you post on this site. You will always be mocked here and that will never change. You know the saying "sticks and stones"...................
