Susie is to my ears such a nice name, I like to assume that ultimately you're such a nice & special woman too...of course with so much "spice", that it reminds me of my first very spicey meal after arriving in New Delhi...my nerves in "real life" could also use some more relaxation, I don't think I am better than you, rather worse...had to use the dictionary, to understand PMS...wish you the strength (iron ; ) )
you need...
"This board offers a friendly atmosphere where you can talk freely about your ideas, thoughts, problems, politics...
When discussing issues of a religious or spiritual nature, please use the Journeys board
All opinions are welcome. Well, almost all opinions."
I am not 100% sure, whether I deviated from the def. (that's why I liked math in the first place, adhering to some set of axioms, agreed beforehand,
plus being crystal clear)
Now the def. IMO leaves room for "stretching" it...
Ideas, thoughts, problems, opinions are in "my world" something spiritual, not merely materialistic or due to some lone biochemical procedure, although involving it.
My thoughts still follow some, lets say biblical
thoughtpattern...therefore to ask of me to comment totally free of that kind of "world", would not be very realistically...I shouldn't offend others in their mindset,true, however I "feel" very comfortable & well in mine & by nature I hate to pretend something...so I name "horse, saddle & rider"...
I name the source, where things are coming from, as far as many of my thoughts are concerned...
So would my comments fit only in the journeys section, only because much of what I have to say contains "automatically" a "biblical red thread"?
Never mind, if people come to the conclusion, me being slave of some dusty old book.
I have quite a few books on my shelves from authors being very antigonistic towards any religion, especially the christian one...I allow myself to every now & then being "inoculated" with that "poison",getting a bit used to it, to be able to survive a bigger portion, (paralleling medievial practices)...so I consider it some progress, if I am today a bit less shocked about
the possible deviations in discussions...& very often I find it challenging, to get to know the atheistic/agnostic etc. points of view.
I realise, that my comments could very well have belonged to journeys, however I express my desire/hope herewith, that people one day will be strong enough, to stand some opposing opinion.
I wish you - like any of us - strength & wisdom
