From my Pov however The month it took to go through that whole thing was nothing compared to all of the other ups and downs God has brought me through. This Complete OverView is call a Testimony in most Christian circles. But again seemingly the best I can get in the way if understanding Is what FNM assumed. That I believe in God because all of the bad things that happened in my life. Which I promptly corrected. The good far outweighs the bad, and when communicating a complete testimony one can not just focus on the bad. We have only ever discussed the bad here because that is all you all want to focus on. Which is fine, until one of you assumes my faith is built on the same bad crap your unbelief is based on.
I didn't assume that your belief is based on the bad things in your life, even thought that would be a safe assumption to make given all of the emphasis you put on having AIDS and how you want us to get sick because you think that will make us turn to god. My point was that you make assumptions about other people's experiences based on the fact that they do not believe in god, but then, after having said you want me to experience what you've experienced, you continued on with more of your assumptions without even attempting to find out what I have experienced. Rather than admit you made an unfounded assumption, you expanded upon it.
It's this lack of trying to understand what others have been through while constantly droning on about your own experiences that pisses me off.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
