Yeah, El! She's non-denominational. It would just be a plain cross... crucifix is to catholic.

yes. remembering all the disgusting yuckiness you've confessed on this forum actually pains me.

Can't it just be that I don't think much of you generally? I don't really know what I'd be sore from. You might be sore from the anal raping everyone gave you. Did you manage to find another thread where me and you were having a discussion (obviously before this one), or are you going to go back and acknowledge that you were completely wrong and it was an idiotic thing to say? Or are you going to stay quiet on the subject and hope everyone forgets? I have a long memory.

Everyone here has a "Long Memory"

Some are longer than others.

I'm just recognizing the subject was touchy, which is where the "sore" comment comes in. Since you're still holding onto what I've said, it sounds like you're deciding my worth based on what little you know of me...sounds a lot like judgement.

You see, I assumed since this is the "off topic" section that what was said in the "Christianity" section wouldn't be held against me, but you have already counted it as my greatest flaw...smh. Actually, what are your reasons for disliking me? Wouldn't you agree that whatever you dislike is based on limited knowledge?

You see, my positive thoughts of you (and Aleialoura) are renewed every day, because no matter how unkind you are to me I realize that there is a completely different side to you. A side that I will simply never understand unless I meet you. You and Aleialoura have made it clear that I will probably never meet you in my life, because of what I've said, that kind of response makes me think you fear confrontation or that you fear your hatred will not persist after you know me.

I would gladly meet anyone on here, no matter what they've said to me, because things change when you're in person. You'll find that you have a certain musician in common, a certain style of clothing, you both like a certain food, that you like someone's hair style or their eyes are gentle. There's so much that can happen in person, that I would be thrilled to meet even one person here, so that I could know them more fully and they could know me.

I'm sorry we can't get along El Dinero. I knew that this argument might ruin the short period of kindness between us, but by your gentle behavior I had faith that you were a bigger person, that it was safe to share my thoughts, whether agreeable or not. I had faith that you would read what I wrote you and you wouldn't condone my opposing view, but you would accept me, still. I see that I thought too far ahead, you're not there yet, but someday you will be. Someday, someone will have so much grace with you, that you will finally know what it feels like to be accepted, whether you agree or not. I was hoping I could be that person for you, but I guess you're too angry with me.

In the end, I won't compromise my beliefs to win your approval. I love people, but I'm not a people pleaser.

I just got done reading another post from ElD in which he claimed that based on forum interaction, he had every right to judge you entirely based on what you've posted. I'm just being fair here, salty: if he took everything you've written and decided you're not the kind of person he'd be interested in conversing with, that's a perfectly valid judgment.

You see, I assumed since this is the "off topic" section that what was said in the "Christianity" section wouldn't be held against me, but you have already counted it as my greatest flaw...smh.

No one forgets what you've said in one area just because you display a different side in another. It only adds dimensions to you.

You and Aleialoura have made it clear that I will probably never meet you in my life, because of what I've said, that kind of response makes me think you fear confrontation or that you fear your hatred will not persist after you know me.

I'm not trying to burst the martyr bubble here, but I rather suspect it's because they have absolutely nothing in common with you and therefore a meeting would be useless. Hatred hasn't come through at all.

In the end, I won't compromise my beliefs to win your approval. I love people, but I'm not a people pleaser.

He's not asking you to, hon.

It always is a very curious thing why christians want to meet and spend time with atheists.

Me personally, I wouldn't want to spend any time with someone who thinks I'm batshit crazy. I think I would feel awkward and foolish simply because, even if they are cordial, I already know that they think I'm an idiot.

But hey that's just me.

[salty]

I guess because people change. You can think someone's a fool and still be their friend, you can think someone is misguided and still respect them for being true to themselves.

I believe you mentioned when speaking to Lucent in the debate area that everyone needs to raise their banner, to sort of show off that they're unique, well, it's my turn.

I'm not taking issue with that whatsoever. I merely mentioned a curiosity of mine. You are free to believe in whatever nonsense you wish.
