Meaning of life???

[Star Twister]

I mean no disrespect Phil

But if you read this whole thread, everyone was giving their own version of the meaning of life, and it made some great reading. Not once was religion bought into it..........You suddenly get a comment from a newbie with religion in it and it turns........Well people put up barriers

I don't mean to be rude but Genesis said in his introduction he wanted to have cordial discussions but then immediately starts to comment on our sexual practices. This is a forum for gay people and their fiends.

I believe this thread will be closed if Genesis continues to preach, especially verses from the bible, he himself admits to be likened to a fundamentalist.

Gay Speak has seen it's fair share of and I will use the term "Bible Bashers" and they don't seem to last long.

It's a simple case of they don't like us and we don't like them.

I'm sorry to sound brutal but that's life, especially on the internet as people can hide behined their computer screens

No disrespect intended

[COLOR="Purple"]yes jamie, that is always the problem. Folk who disagree never seem to have enough conviction to explain their positions...

I am very serious about, with a few funnies thrown in, trying to understand someones opposing position. It is rather vital for us to all get along... and when someone comes on here with very very very different positions than the majority... well... what ya expect but some to question...

I am not just going on about Christians either... I would really like to understand more about Shintoism, Hinduism, Islamism, Wiccaism, Jewism, even a decent discussion on atheism or agnostic would be great...[/COLOR]

It's good to have healthy and sometimes conflicting discussion, it all adds to a good debate

... ism, ism, ism!
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Experience makes me lean strongly to the Richard Dawkins point of view that arguing with a fundamentalist is ultimately fruitless since, by definition, fundamentalists are not open to rational discussion.

Whilst irritated that our generally safe space can be rocked from time to time by anyone with a different agenda, I live in hope that I will find what they have to say at least challenging, if not interesting. I know a number of people here have spiritual beliefs and even a faith that I don't share. We can agree to disagree, but we can still learn from each other.

Fromgenesis, if you are still here you are being naive if you think you can come here to perform your missionary work. You are dealing with a number of people who are at least indifferent to religion and, at worst, have suffered much because of the religious zeal of others. No amount of preaching is going to repair some of that damage.

Even if you were in a position to perform the amazing feat of bringing God into the room so I could shake him by the hand I would not be able to worship him - whatever that means. It makes no sense at all that an all-powerful being needs affirmation from me. Doesn't it strike you as odd that God is always created in the image of the believer?

Very well said Marshlander!!!
