I am leaving the site for a while. Why?

[goodlife]

This is supposed to be an R & S section. However until the editor decides to do something about the obvious prejudice displayed by some, this cannot be a genuine site for discussion on religion.

In my experience I have found that people who say nasty things are generally nasty people.

"In my experience I have found that people who say nasty things are generally nasty people."

You mean people that challenge your beliefs!

YOU FAIL!!!

[naomi24]

Dave and Ummmm, thanks.

[keyplus90]

I agree with your last paragraph but this is what it is all about. I have over at least 10 people teamed up against me on full time basis and others few to assist them here and there. These people have used every trick and tactics possible in the book (and ones not even in the book). What all that has done is made me look into and study more of my own religion, other religions and of course no religion at all. And today as a result I am more satisfied with my choice and because of their questions and critics I found answer to my own few question. So it is all about faith and then right faith that you should be able to prove and withstand. As for getting all of the people agree with you, then that has never happened even at the times of the prophets and will never ever happen.

Hmmm...could it be that there's more going on in R&S than in the News section?

[naomi24]

Keyplus, //I agree with your last paragraph...//

Careful. ;o)

[vulcan]

goodlife, perhaps if you did discuss, people wouldn't say "nasty things". You are asked questions which you rarely answer and your copy and paste skills are second to none. useful though this ability is, it isn't a discussion.

[sandyRoe]

Everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned. The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
R&S is a daunting place for us theists. Come back when you've recharged your batteries.

[gingejbee]

...and people who say deluded things are generally deluded people.

[Baldric]

Goodlife, thank you for cheering up an otherwise dull day,
please don't ruin it by doing a Lazarus

[friedgreentomato]

Well if you will debate in a hot bed such as religion you simply cannot expect everyone to agree with you!

[rojash]

"this cannot be a genuine site for discussion on religion."

I'd be fascinated to see any threads that indicate goodlife ever felt his/her posts were open to discussion.

[AB Editor]

If you would like this section to be about your religion, then you must ask a question about it. Your questions are often charged with the intention of having the very debate you're now having a flounce about.

If you'd asked something like "Why was Lazarus returned from the grave?" or "What fundamental differences can we draw from the 5 pillars of Islam vs the 10 Commandments?" - then you'd find that many would happily have a discussion with you.

As it is, you're spoiling for a fight as much as any you're accusing of prejudice.

[ChuckFickens]

I'm sure your CTRL, C and V keys will appreciate the break.

[Mick-Talbot]

Has he wonderfully fluffed off without giving me best answer? :0(

[gness]

I'd have settled for an answer.

[Baldric]

that'll be 42 then gness!

[Old_Geezer]

I think this is more to do with the reaction to your evangelistic attempts. You say there is prejudice, but are you not prejudiced in favour of your point of view ? Should you tone down the trying to convert in favour of discussion based on evidence (or whatever) then I'm sure things would be more friendly.

[gness]

Story of my life, Baldric. x
Would like to know why goodlife is leaving temporarily and how he decides why and when to return.

[keyplus90]

////Hmmm...could it be that there's more going on in R&S than in the News section?////

SP - Perhaps you should pop in sometime and see if you could get out. It is so interesting here that you wouldn't want to leave.

Guys (and dolls of course) don't worry I have no doubt that "goodlife" will resurrect.

[DTCwordfan]

Mmmmm, its the "whatever" that worries me, OG!

Boy could I have fun writing a spoof article, "The Resurrection of Goodlife"..........
