Here you go optimist

Not sure my motivation...my instinctive need to stick up for the underdog...my secret desire to be one day honoured rightfully with the role of Forum moderator (expecting a call any day)...

But anyway I couldn't help but read your troubles on another thread...unfortunately I found myself siding with everyone's posts...other than your own...except for the part where you were told you can't post here!

So I put my low IQ mind to coming up with a solution that suits all...and here it is...a safe place if you like

You can post anything you like about your beliefs...and no one has to read it unless they want! Easy peasy...

maybe you could even get Jesus, fat Buddha, Mohammed, and friends to converse in adult conversation here

Solving the world problems, one at a time...call it taking a shovel as a way of moving that mountain

All the best...brother

PS...I actually was born again once, but I grew up, and grew a brain of my own...and realised it was all a load of shit!

I know the story..it proves nothing.

Plenty of people have nearly died and said there is nothing, nada, no afterlife…that again proves nothing.

You are so indoctrinated you will never see reality or fact…you can believe whatever you like…but your belief proves nothing.

You don’t discuss, optimist. You just post unproven religious wank.

Only thing you should be afraid of in church is gods men being pedos under gods watch, in god home.

Then people like Brutus and optimist brushing it under the table.

live and let live crew. Just let it be. I reckon we can all learn from each other's spirit,..beliefs are just the icing on top, should you choose to lick it. No need to deride a man/woman for their foundations when they're good folk. Let it go legends. We can all do with a little kindness in these times, especially amongst our brothers and sisters of the ocean.

That probably doesn't make sense. I've been awake for many hours. All i'm saying is i reckon you're all probably good folk. Picking apart someones beliefs and making them appear inferior to yourself is ignoring their human traits and the fact they're most likely bloody good people. All good to have a spiritual debate. But to hold someone accountable to their beliefs and the thousands of years of it that came before any of us and expect them to answer to all your questions and tear them down personally if they can't give you instant answers.....i reckon that's asking alot of one or two people.

Sunday message…written 2750 years ago….
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches the heavens out like a curtain…and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in….Isaiah 40:22……

TBH, if BD had pulled up the homophobic, bigoted beliefs posted by these 2 religious clowns or the offensive hate aimed at non believers…he might have had a point. But he didn’t, so no.

BD has defended the clowns and criticised others.

To not condemn is to support. So, i don’t take any notice of BD.

RK... "to not condemn is to support" is a rather binary viewpoint. And whether or not BD has defended bad actors (whether or not they ARE bad actors.. not stating an opinion either way here) his point is not to be ignored, in MY view. Which is to say.... don't attack someones faith. Just don't. Move along about your life. Live and let live. I am interested neither in attacking faith nor defending it. I am not defending their belief system now. I am defending them from being bullied online (don't do that either.)

Bollocks are they getting bullied. And their having faith is ok, no one is condemning that. What they say in here based off their faith should be called out and is bullying (yet, you give them a pass).
You are defending their right to post homophobia, bigotry and hate. You can think that is ok..and make make excuses and give them the ok to post such…I don’t.

1st May : Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :
"So what if Ukraine's Nazi Leader is Jewish...so was Hitler!"
"Some of the worst Anti Semites are Jews!" OMG!
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-may-1-2022/
Resurrection of Vierteljude Hitler starts WWIII.

The Jerusalem Post is the best & open > concise read on the subject.
Noting this date being just prior to Pandemic...post pandemic & it's hot off the press!
Certainly more to this, than idle curiosity...this is fuel for Ukraine Nazi War.
Hitler's in the charts again.
https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-was-a-quarter...
This one also...
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/who-was-hitlers-grandfather-new...

Jewish family employed Hitler's Gran & got her pregnant & paid for kid until 14 y/o > (Hitler's Dad).
Hitler's nephew knew of this before Hitler & threatened to out him...
1930 Hitler had his sidekick 'Frank' investigate the claim...(Verified!)
July 1938 Hitler annexes Austria & orders total destruction of his Grandma's Village.
Influencing Hitler's fury leading to the Holocaust...just to prove he wasn't Jewish.

1950's Nazi sympathizer was offended by claims, said there were no Jews in Graz pre 1856.
Author claims there were pre 1850 Jewish settlements.
Book : 1856 Jews in Styria > "Several Jews in district staying a long time and taking up residence!"
Jewish community in Graz was already established to foster the future Jewish Fuhrer.

NATO Ukraine Nazi Leader & reluctant Jew Zelensky upskirts another inch of threadbare Iron Curtain.

DIY Holocaust Outrage! Israel demands apology from Hitler's Grandpa & Commies but not the Nazis.
Guess we now know how WWII & WWIII started.

Or how he sees the pedophiles that have raped in his name…or the abused kids that committed suicide feel coming face to face with those who molested them…but weaselled out of punishment by repenting their sins.

Geez Optimist, so now you are a ‘fence sitter’, sitting up there all alone on the Ozone layer chewing away at the triatomic matter,looking down on creation (all 5mins of it) wow, you are multi skilled, I gotta give it to you, you are one talented male or female, now you are a bloody entomologist, what else have you created in that brain of yours.
