when_blather_gets_too_religiously_passionate MAGICFOREST People are getting mad at eachother. Namecalling has commenced. This is not the cool, calm, collected discussion you all adamantly claim it is while slinging stones. This is the kx21 version of a religious discourse. If you need to type things in capitals to express your rage, if you need to mask your sardonic undertones, if you need to laugh and demean eachother for having conflicting beliefs, then get the fuck out, because you are ruining everything. STOP THIS MADNESS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE IT MATTERS WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WAGING WARS WITH EACHOTHER THIS IS NOT BLATHER THIS IS BLIND SCREAMING PLEASE STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP 041107 ... *backs slowly away* um. ok... 041107 ... kookaburra i dunno, who said that blather had to be only angst laden discussions of lost loves that we love/hate/need/want/must kill? it's new, it's different...i think it's rather exciting 041107 ...

A big problem with this whole new blathertrend of religious mania is the denial of subjectivity. People are trying too hard to make universal statements about God or Christianity or atheism. There may be universal truths about these mindsets out there, but you must remember that regardless of whether or not there is "one truth", there are many people out there who will disagree as to the "one truth". Some people are foolish, but others have put just as much heart, soul, time, knowledge, research and exploration into their spiritual quest as you and have somehow managed to arrive at a different answer! Instead of trying to berate eachother for not arriving at the same one, ask yourselves this: how morally different are the two of you? AND Do you both not feel the thrills and tragedies of being alive? AND Are you not attacking things very vital to eachother's souls? AND Are you not essentially attacking them for your sake and not theirs? AND Do you know that there are times to fall silent? 041108 ... u24 "I have often regretted my speech, never my silence" 041108 ... u24 (although I do think it's perfectly possible to reget not saying something.) 041108 ... unhinged .

Yahoo!
