Steve, I don't mind when people confront turq one on one. But I really don't like it when the piling on and ganging up happens. Something about that seems very unhealthy to me, mainly for the people doing it. Don't worry about it Share, it's their time they waste and Barry is probably chuckling to himself over his cappucino. I kn ow him well enough to know he loves a good tease! Besides, after all this meditating people are supposed to be "line on air" but for some reason they get real sensitive. Is this proof that it isn't working? Steve has lost the plot completely recently and makes no effort to think about what he writes, maybe he's having trouble at home and needs to escape to a world where he can dump on someone else? I'm just speculating because if my time here is ever reduced to simply gainsaying other people I'd realise it wasn't working and be off to the beach! From: "steve.sundur@...

A good question Share. Here's the short answer. There is a time for compassion to be shown, and a time to address BS head on. I am bothered by the continual mis-perceptions Barry throws out here, and feel compelled to address them. Pretty much as simple as that. That, and the fact that I think he is mean person, with no self awareness in that regard. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Steve and Fleetwood, if you really think this way, then why not show some compassion?

My conclusion too, Steve. He sounds very disturbed, in the paragraph below. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : or possibly that something is seriously broken in your life.

That, and the fact that I really DO consider many God-believers pretty much as stupid as I say they are. :-) But every so often, it's probably good to present the point of view of a more balanced atheist who has more compassion for the idiots trying to shout him down than I have. Consider this my contribution to FFL in this respect...
