My Favorite Christian Posters

[Sky Dancer]

The Bible lays out the rules and guidelines when you marry your slave. How old they can be and when you can beat them.
So since the Bible said it it has to be true and has to be accepted as fact and how we live our lives.
Total BS.

You really are an idiot. It was true and a fact when it was written. And as a matter of course, it still goes on today, doesn't it?

Ah, so you are a member of the Church of St Luby's.....Cafeteria Christianity. Not so surprised by that one.

The Church of St Luby's?

Cafeteria Christianity....you pick and choose what part of the bible you want to follow and excuse the rest away.

 

[Steelplate]

I don't know... I have enough trouble trying to deal with my own.

Me too. I'm a lesbian, but sexual misconduct isn't one of my sins. I'm married and faithful to my wife.

Oh... I am faithful too, I've never physically or even emotionally cheated on my wife, nor my ex wife. But I cannot deny looking at other women and thinking sexual thoughts. I am 46 years old and those types of thoughts mellow with age, but they still happen sometimes.

You sound like Jimmy Carter.

Are sexual thoughts a sin in your book? If you get the hots for your wife when she isn't around is that a sin?

I would say that most Christians pick and choose which parts of the bible they want to follow.

Not everyone's into the shellfish commandment.

 

[AllieBaba]

Let's talk about how much Buddhists support the gay lifestyle, I wouldn't mind talking about that.

Or how effective you are as a counselor of ptsd patients with your own obvious issues. Do you bait them, too? Do you encourage people to attack them?

I'll bet you do.

Dear Allie: Actually, I DID want to hear from Sky why you are one of her favorite posters.

And about two points you make above

A. about PTSD counselors

you don't have to be perfect to be a good counselor
some people shy away from perfect role models because they feel judged and intimidated
some people only learn from people when they think they are the teacher in the relationship
I've seen it all

I'm sure the people who respond to Sky work with her
and those who don't would stay away like you would!

I have one friend who is a gay atheist but he teaches the abundance of free grace, encourages people to forgive and not waste time or energy keeping inventory on people,
and is extremely effective BECAUSE he admits he has flaws and has to forgive constantly

In many ways he succeeds where Christians who seem better role models fail to reach their audience
So to each his own!

I trust Sky works on her issues simultaneously while helping others to heal
Changes happen in tandem, we learn and grow together
So what

I wish you had the same faith in Sky that you have in your approaches working
for the people you are able to help effectively. I know I've said this before, that you can cover more ground that way: you addressing people who need THAT approach, and Sky addressing her peers, and me mine, etc.

I see this diversity as good, as being to help more people

B. as for the gay issue

1. I had posted an article where the Dalai Lama mentions it is generally acknowledged that homosexuality is "not natural"

2. however, the path in Buddhism is focusing on people taking responsibility for their own development and awareness in life, so each person has to come to their own terms and reasoning

you may well be right, Allie, that Sky's homosexual nature may be unnatural and not her true nature, could be.

But the point of her path is for her to work that out, and for you and me to work out our path, etc.

so it is not neglecting or condoning it, it is just keeping it THAT person's responsibility
to deal with as part of their karma or dharma to sort out in life

3. I could go into more detail on the DIFFERENCES between
a. cases of unnatural sexual behavior even addictions caused by abuse
that are healed and changed, where these are NOT natural to the person
b. cases of sexual behavior that is "made by God" or manifestations of
past spiritual patterns, some of which may be healed/changed and some may not be

I believe science and spiritual study will lead to research that can reconcile these
points, but until then, people have different paths for studying the causes and effects.

Again, it is not to neglect or to deny something unnatural is involved here,
but it is recognizing that people's paths are different

I understand you believe in using direct confrontation to stop the denial.

I tend to be somewhere in between you and Sky, where I confront also,
but try to focus from within people's system and comfort zones, and avoid
conflicts or attacks from outside as adversaries which I find shuts down the relations.

I believe as you point out that conflicts should be addressed not denied or skirted over.
I believe as with Buddhist tolerance not to indoctrinate or impose, but allow things to
open up naturally to receive truth but not force it, to work on ourselves first and foremost.

Whatever it takes, I trust our paths are crossing for a reason!
Maybe it will take a combination of our different approaches!

Thanks Allie
Your ways of confrontation are different
but I can see how this would work effectively
for those who need that!

With Sky she seems not to respond well to the bitchslap method,
but seems to work more from the inside out, coming from within herself.
So I would work within that paradigm in order to connect the points with
where she is coming from and where she is going.

Most people I know work from the inside out.
But for the ones who have a tough hide or protective shell, maybe I will
refer them to you to slap around a little and get them to open up more!

I tend to use humor for that, but whatever works, hey!

Emily-

I know you have a good heart, and you're motivated by caring. I really wish you wouldn't interpret me to Allie.

She's not interested in changing her opinion of me, and I'm not all that bothered by her.

Thanks,

Sky

You're a tard.

First, last and foremost.

 

[HenryBHough]

My favourite Christian poster was totally non-discriminatory on the basis of race, gender, gender preference, all that stuff. It simply said:

KILL A COMMIE FOR CHRIST

without regard to any of the above......presuming, of course, that homosexuality is permitted among Communists (in their home lands).

You're consistent, I'll give ya that.

 

[AllieBaba]

And no, Sky doesn't react well to the bitchslap method, or any other method. She is mentally ill, and dangerously so because if she is telling the truth, she may wield some power over people who are vulnerable.

I've worked intimately with the mentally ill, including the dangerously mentally ill, and diminished capacity mentally ill. Truly crazy people don't benefit from continual justification and reasoning. The best way to deal with the craziest people is just to state the situation/facts as they are...baldly and repeatedly.

With Sky, it's this...you do not have reality in your grasp, you are a bigot, and you should never have control over any human because you have serious defects in your personality which makes you a danger to them.

 

[Steelplate]

Me too. I'm a lesbian, but sexual misconduct isn't one of my sins. I'm married and faithful to my wife.

Oh... I am faithful too, I've never physically or even emotionally cheated on my wife, nor my ex wife. But I cannot deny looking at other women and thinking sexual thoughts. I am 46 years old and those types of thoughts mellow with age, but they still happen sometimes.

Are sexual thoughts a sin in your book? If you get the hots for your wife when she isn't around is that a sin?

Well Matthew 5:28 says: "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

For my wife? I don't think so... but God only knows...

If I truly am mentally ill, as you claim, why criticize me?

If a truly am a person of bad character, a liar, and a mentally ill person, then it's like criticising fire for being hot.

It doesn't make sense.

Why is it you're so bothered by my posts? Mental illness is the ability to be bothered.

I'm wondering about this. So you have "sins of thought"?

Well, in Buddhism, you have to have certain conditions present to accumulate karma. Just having a thought doesn't constitute a crime.

You must have missed the part that is in red.

And thank you for responding in a way that verifies what I said. I like that in a nut.

 

[Sky Dancer]

I've worked with mentally people my whole life. Your strategy in red doesn't work. But thanks for saying you like me.

I'd like to add Immanuel, Avatar, Care4All, and Foxfyre. And my good friend, againsheila.

Wow, I finally made a list. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

Sky is currently contemplating this because I recently told her she was judging and proposing the persecution of certain individuals based upon what she thought was their "thoughts".

Well, apparently in Christianity it can.
