If it sounded like I was attacking anyone I’m sorry that was never ever my intention, I understand that we all are different and that’s what’s make the world better.

To freely express your options, opinions, choices, without blaming behavior , the choices of others didn’t seem like “personal attacks” to me… but there are people who feel attacked… that’s their opinion, mine:
- maybe they didn’t understand that everyone has the right to their own choices,
- without playing “the role of the victim” ( in general, those who do this feel the need for attention) - we accept that we are different, we do not criticize, we dialogue, we understand and respect everyone’s choices.
“It’s easier to throw stones and point fingers” than to spend time analyzing, understanding, accepting…
Those who don’t know shouldn’t be blamed because they don’t know, we just have to have the patience to explain to them. But both those who don’t know and those with this condition must understand that we are different, even unique, imperfect but understanding, willing of knowledge, self-knowledge and especially acceptance.

THESE words you wrote above says it all in one. Each and everyone’s right to their own opinion or thinking people are playing the victim is a matter of our own choice to start throwing stones and point fingers or take time in analyzing, understanding, accepting. I would say trying to walk in those shoes, and see what that feels like; is just the most humane thing to do.

This is my last such comment. 
First of all, we should all analyze ourselves. Self-knowledge, self-evaluation and introspection are the first steps in psychological evolution… aren’t we some of those described above?
Are you sure that you weren’t once one of the people who criticized, cataloged, and didn’t complain about someone’s behavior, immediately and under the impulse of the emotional impact?
I asked a rhetorical question that you don’t have to answer, I repeat it’s just rhetoric, I don’t want to offend you
Through education, self-education, trying to be more understanding, better in what we do and how we live, through our own example of learning, applying, correcting, improving, we pave a better way not only for us but, above all, for the generations to come after us, for a better world.
So we learn and remember to say more often and now I say to everyone: hello, thank you, I’m sorry, forgive me, I love you.

What happened?
You are so funny. That’s why I love you although I don’t know you personally, but you have made me laugh so many times in here, and you know laughter is the best medicine in life. You are my healer! You probably misunderstood things I wrote? But don’t worry; I’m not going anywhere unless of course… is my time to go since death is unavoidable. My grandmother (RIP) always said out loud when a person died ''some go way up too soon, and others stay way too long…I could never understand why she said that all the time, but I was only a kid. I still can’t make what she really meant by that bc I never bothered to ask her, and Today I really wish I had asked her what she meant by that.
GOD BLESS YOU. I blurred that since I read they are even flagging and deleting religious stuff. What a shame!

I personally think most of all those rules are illegal and of course, unconstitutional no matter what country wants them enforced.
What are constitutional rights?
Amendment U.S. Constitution
|Amendment|Ratified|Description|
|1st|1791|Rights to Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, Petition|
Now, I will always respect every religion no matter how extreme I may feel they are. I even read part of the Qur’an because I wanted to understand everyone’s religion so we I avoid disrespecting them more out of ignorance, but never ever out of malice or because is not the religion I believe in.
Ironically and in the end, being a ‘‘RELIGIOUS PERSON’’ is not going to a church on Sundays, or worshipping in a temple or believing in GOD(s). Is doing Good, loving one another, giving bc is by giving that we receive. If we give good things, good things will come back to us.
I have some relatives that are ATHEIST, and some of them even worship the devil. That doesn’t stop me from showing them love, and helping them, if they need me to help them. I DO always WARN them one thing; I don’t talk to you about the GOD I love and believe in to any of you, so never talk to me about what you believe in, to me. Once they try showing me the cross upside down or their version of their bible, I’m out the door and they know better now. My ex now, was an atheist, and would tell me he would burn if he went inside a church. When our daughter was born I wanted her to be baptized and he went inside the church, and didn’t get burned. Ever since he got Covid he started reciting the ROSARY every day before going to bed. I guess he found religion on his own. What we believe in, has to come from our heart. I never close my door to Jehovah’s Witness, and listen to them when they knock on my door, i take their literature and give them a donation. I respect every religion as much as I can, as long as they respect me and what I believe in.
I’m Agnostic and proud of it, I’m not ashamed, my parents are Christian, and I’ve just never been able to believe he does exist, and that he does not. I respect people of all religions, I was raised to be that way. I’m still pretty young, I’m only 18, so sometime in the future I might change my mind. I know it’ll happen, but for now. I’m just trying to figure out why religion is such a ‘bad’ topic.

You are young and have a beautiful heart and that’s all that matters. Your parents taught you well, and they must be very proud of you bc if you was my child, I would be very proud to have such a mature and good hearted child.
Yeah, that baffles the mind to the core for me; how the CEO’s/owner’s of this place are allowing things to get this far. I wonder how much further are they are willing to allow all this unfair stuff going on in here…

agnostic, antaginest christian etc. I have a few around me, and I do learn some stuff, hey now I am going to say something and y’all dont get offensive or angry.
who is to say that Jesus came to this earth, time of Budda, confusius(?) taosi, and those ones of India, sorry I would mess up the spelling, and any other I missed. and Jesus taught them? and who is to say, He never changes same yesterday, today and forever.
I have always thought this, even in my “christian” walk. If you do look at all these guys read what they have spoken & taught, kinda sounds kinda like what Jesus /God spoke. Just sayin.
athiests you do believe in something. You believe theres no God. I(have a son that says show me, and maybe I will believe
People, be you young or old, different religions, or none, lets do keep peace here, we need this and each other

Once a teenage heartthrob who had the world in the palm of his hand, this superstar performer soared to incredible heights of popularity. However, his fortunes took a devastating turn and he lost everything.
Today, he’s 81 years old

Buddha, Confucius, and Laozi were well before Jesus’s time.

Buddha (Siddhārtha Gautama) insisted he was human and that there is no almighty, benevolent God. He preached that desire was the root cause of suffering and that people should seek to eliminate desire. He was born in present-day Nepal roughly 500 years before Jesus Christ (Jesus of Nazareth). Buddha - once said, “The faults of others are easier to see than one’s own.” Some 500 years later, Jesus uttered these words: "Why do you see the splinter in someone else’s eye and never notice the log in your own?"
“If all living beings are the sons of God, He should use happiness to cover suffering and should not give them suffering. And those who worship Him should not have suffering but should enjoy happiness. But this is not true in reality”

you just didn’t get it, if God created the heavens & earth, which I do believe, Jesus was there before time began, again who is to say he wasn’t there with Buddash, Confucious, and the rest?? and yes my thoughts BUT still. I don’t want any controversy or anger or any neagitive, this was just thoughts. oh and thanks for the lessons about those fellas, wasnt Budda a prince?? of course theres no proof of this, again just MY thoughts.
