Do You Become Offended When Rejects Your Idea of the Truth?

[Theocan]

No, because we all have our own beliefs, and opinions.

I agree.

No, no, no. He said that anyone who doesn't eat babies is an idiot, and that we should do away with the two-term limit to presidencies and elect Bush as lifelong dictator of the U.S. I'm not sure how you could have missed that.

For Pete's sake. Sunstone was clearly espousing the clubbing of baby seals, and the need to funnel more federal money to the military-industrial complex.

While I personally don't agree with his stance on the use of nuclear engergy, that post could only lead us to beleive that Sunstone is clearly a socialist, commie loving, pinko hippy ***.

God Bless America

I cannot believe that you would imply that I like bestiality and hate America! You clearly have issues with Buddhists and thinly veil your insults of pirate-americans. You, sir, should apologize and retract your remarks about 45-year-old virgin trekkies!

Alas, I acquiesce.

My apologies for misreading Sunstone's post. After taking the time to reread his post, and your crystal clear breakdown of his ramblings, I have to agree.

Mea culpa.

... but I still think he's clubbing the baby seals ...

Doesn't upset me... what does bother me is when people misrepresent what it is that I believe.

It doesn't offend me if someone rejects what I believe to be truth. I just consider it their loss if everyone doesn't agree with me..........No really I respect their belief and leave it at that........

No, because a) I wish I could describe God better to myself, b) when I try to engage others in discussion, their eyes glaze over, and C) I've learned to accept that I am on my own in this.........

I have (sort of) answered that; of course It would make me feel so much better if I felt I could "agree 100%" with others - and, there have been times when I think I am not far from doing so; amusingly enough, one is an atheist here.
