OT2, why not take a leaf out of Mr Don's book. He discusses his beliefs without targeting those of others. He receives respect because he gives it. He is not so insecure in his beliefs that he has to cry demon everytime someone takes a different path to his own.
Relax and enjoy the world with all its diverstiy. You know your truth - leave the rest up to others. If you must preach do it by your own example of tolerance compassion and kindness to others.
susie:
I am me, not Mr. Don. You applaud individuality, do you not?
I discuss IDEAS; you put down people who hold ideas that you hate, and never directly answer direct questions posedto you; prbablu because you know that you are unable to; IMO.
I am respectful; but I do not take abuse, and try to treat others as would want to be treated.
I am hardly insecure, and am not of the caricature type, which you are projecting on me, out of YOUR own insecurities; sorry.
Your idea of "tolerance compassion and kindness to others" is to try to redefine others' beliefs to suit yourself (you inwardly MOCK all theism, obviously, which makes your "tolerance idea pretty preposterous), including what they believe is their responsibilty to evangelize, because they love a real God, and love others because of that.
Nice try: You accuse, others read, OT2 looks bad?
I doubt it, susie. Try just answering direct question.
A chat board is just a chat board, not an atheists' club.
Respectfully,
