Sorry, I had to work last night. Obviously, I work nights. I wasn't able to reply until now. And I'm about to go to work again, tonight, so this will be quick.
I'm not going to bullet point my reply. What I saw as indecipherable crap was your post. It might have been me, but I couldn't make sense of it. I won't say it was your fault, and I won't say it was my fault. I tried reading the post again and I got the same impression. I will just say the two didn't come together. And in that light, maybe I said it was indecipherable crap in the heat of the moment. I don't know...benefit of the doubt and all that, I guess.
I'm not going to quote any bashing, because it just opens myself up for more bashing from others. These forum posts lack any body language, facial expressions or voice inflections so all you see is words. The reader is then responsible for inserting body language, facial expressions and voice inflections into the post. Depending on the frame of mind of the reader at the time, any post can end up meaning totally the opposite of how it was originally intended. I'm just not going there, when the only tools I'd have at my disposal are smileys and CAPITAL LETTERS to simulate yelling.
I wasn't talking about you, when I made the jealous statement. It just seems to me that religion really gets people's blood flowing for some reason. I don't have a problem with people who don't believe, but there are some who seem to have issues with the fact that I believe. Terse comments are made and people's beliefs are shot down as being "silly".
So, I wondered why non-believers might have an issue with believers. I could only come up with one thing. Maybe they were jealous that we have something fall back on at stressful times. Of course, I know there will be someone offended by this and even if it is true, who would admit to it? What can I say about that, other than nobody should ever discuss their sexual preference, political persuasions, if they are for or against abortion and their religious beliefs. Those are discussions that only turn into arguments and because everybody has such strong opinions on these topics, the best result will be to agree to disagree.
Now I need to get some more sleep. I've got work, tonight.
