I was really hoping that topic could be a mature discussion/debate on the existence of gods or whatever, sadly it quickly devolved.
I know....I am starting so see long standing friendships suffer. There is more than enough room in this world for all beliefs and dogmas. We would fail in our own humanity if it were otherwise.

Best post I have read in a couple of days.
Drama is so exhausting and I will never understand others need for it.
Some seek validation in that way. When we define ourselves from within, we KNOW ourselves. When we define from without....we go from believing that which is false...to becoming that which is false. A tragedy that has come to be the new story of our existence.

Don't get me wrong, I know religion and politics are often sensitive subjects that can easily encourage knee-jerk reactions. But sometimes, just sometimes, it is nice to be able to have a mature debate or discussion between open minded people who will gladly read and accept others points of view and opinions, even if not necessarily agreeing with them.

Another thing is if people can keep attitudes and opinions only in the topic they evolved in instead of letting it spill into other topics.

I embrace when I am wrong....it opens myself up to learning some very important lessons. I will have to agree that there was an agenda in the creation of that thread....and nothing to do with the topic. But I also do not want to bring any of that in here.

For those that seek validation in this way, they will always be disappointed IMO.

To be honest.. only one person changed the subject..

Thoughts on Roger leaving.... those 3 if you are looking for a train wreck.
I really should give that a lot of thought because I have a temptation to try and fix train wrecks. Sometimes it's more wise to leave well enough alone. Ya' think?

Well this was a face to face...and all about me....so it was alright. Not crazy about the suggestions given...but oh well. Some things are just out of my hands.
Sounds similar to what we Buddhists have. We call it going for guidance:)

That's often my inclination too.
Sadly it sometimes counteracts with my desire for a good debate. lol
