Hi!
Do not put words in my mouth - I said that Margueritte was behaving childlike
saying that any spiritual comments on my part (or anyone elses) was dogma
-(for your reference a synonum for dogma is DOCTRINE! It was how I was
feeling this morning after reading her post - Bertina, you are silly saying
that Christians are patronizing - there are many Christians who would treat
you with respect and understanding and as an equal individual with your own
opinions and beliefs (As I do - you just don't understand me - when I say have
faith it is because - I know how miracles happen - they have happened to me
because of my faith - it's the only way - I wanted to share that with you.)
You act as if I am asking you to jump off a bridge by reconsidering your
spiritual perspective? Why the defensive? Just believe what you want -
really!
I was merely requesting, and I am doing so again, that people refrain from
calling me names that do not fit me such as "bigot" and PLEASE do not put
words in my mouth - enough !!!@@@ comes out it sometimes!
Thanks in advance.
Peace!
Angela

Bertina, please define "pleasure." Just because something brings pleasure -
does not make it right or proper - Going on a luxury cruise brings pleasure -
is it right that that boat pollutes the ocean and the animals that live there?
That is the negative aftershock of pleasure! So there are a lot of examples
of our so-called pleasures that harm the Earth and the animals - does that
make them wrong then? Just because something is pleasurable does not make it
right - Got it? Drugs are bad for you - some drugs destroy your memory, weaken
your brain, harm your liver - Got it? Brings pleasure and comfort - yet not
good for you and therefore not right- I would rather not discuss pleasures
with you - I have a feeling you would not understand! But I am game if you
are!
Thanks!
Angela
