If you have steadfast beliefs that cannot encpompass any other, why do you try to inflict yours on to me and dispute mine. Are you a politician?
I'm not trying to make you change your beliefs so why can't you be tolerant of mine? I thought your religion taught tolerance? Do you interpret that as telling people nicely that their ideas are stupid? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Do you interpret that as telling people nicely that their ideas are stupid? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I don't share what your beliefs appear to be, but I could care less if you change them or don't. If you want to discuss them in a public place, then yes, I am going to disagree nicely. So far, I have not been able to get a decent answer about what exactly you do believe, so I am mainly responding to your knee-jerk paranoia. That is a more loathesome trait in myself than any supposed intolerance, so pardon me if I cease to reply very shortly.

I know how difficult it is to see oneself through the veneer of beliefs and it is so restricting when debating new ideas. I am trying to describe colour to the blind. You don't know what my beliefs are, Anastasia, but you will disagree nicely anyway?
Your comments are non-constructive, inconsistent and contradictory. You discount my beliefs by sheer virtue of them clashing with yours. I'm sorry but that is not a reason. Ponder on this "It takes one to know one."If you think you know me,(knee-jerk paranoia) you MAY be right, but WHAT you think is you. Edited by dameeva, : No reason given.

I knew exactly where I was going with the topic nosey. If you don't mind, may we proceed in the thread you interupted?
I have an answer for mark24's question, and then a tie in to the thread topic to satisfy your demands.

You don't know what my beliefs are, Anastasia, but you will disagree nicely anyway? That comment was an 'if and when the situation occurs' comment. IOW, the forum has guidelines for behaviour, and I try to follow them, all the while debating.
Your comments are non-constructive, inconsistent and contradictory. You discount my beliefs by sheer virtue of them clashing with yours. I'm sorry but that is not a reason. Perhaps we can move on to hearing more about the beliefs, rather than debating personalities?
Ponder on this "It takes one to know one." If you think you know me,(knee-jerk paranoia) you MAY be right, but WHAT you think is you. Yes, I agree, I recognize things which are part of my nature as well. I suffer from knee-jerk paranoia in plenty of areas. I used to have a great fear that I was hideously ugly. If someone comments on my appearance, I take it as a veiled slight no matter what. KNowing this about myself, I avoid being on display, and I would never go to a modeling agency whose sole business is to critique appearance.

I didn't know comments of non-constructive, inconsistant and contradictory nature inferred a personality type.
Why do you take it personally? It is fact and is written there in your non-constructive, inconsistant and contradictory replies. Here is another in this last post. You say "lets move on to hearing more about beliefs, rather than debating personalities", yes? Then you contradicted this in the final paragraph talking about your personality, yes, and no buts? Fact! You say one thing and do another. You don't hear what I have to say. You want me to hear what you are saying, and I do. You just don't like it when I hit it back to you. Read your own posts without emotion and you might see. In fact, try reading mine without emotion because that's how they were written, (well maybe a bit of humour). I have said so much more than you have read.

I KNOW THIS WASN'T A REPLY TO ME BUT I WAS THE SUBJECT AND I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT YOU MEANT BY 'SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR?'
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE UNCONSCIOUS IRONY.

Yes, I gave you something of myself outside of the debate arena in hopes that you would open up. I see that since you started this topic you have not talked at all about what you said you wanted to talk about. Do you want to talk about God and His possible manifestations or not? If you do, please respond to the requests for links, or to the requests for your description of God, or ANYTHING which is relevant.

I am still curious about what your "universal morals" are Rob, any chance you might answer my question?
