My first night on here after X amount of months and I have managed to run someone off the boards. [/quote] I'm going to be honest with you (because I do respect you); I think you could have handled that better. I'm not saying that anything you said was incorrect, I just think you could have said it more 'charitably'.

My mother hung up pictures of several saints above my wall after I was attacked by an astrial vampire, one night as I was climbing into bed I noticed these saints moving within their icons, I turned on a light and leaned in to be sure, and sure enough they didn't stop moving. it was like the pictures from Harry Potter, it was truely humbling.

[/quote] lol, this made my night. after this, I see Nihil's point, but it can be difficult to be reasonable with someone who calls you a follower of a forked tongue master.

HisChildForever Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 LOL, I get called a Devil worshiper FOUR TIMES and yet I still seem to be the one racking up the negatives.

What can you really say to a person who thinks you're a devil worshipper?
picchick Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Geez, Erin, lay off. I was driven to the point of frustration with your statements to him. Then when he finally bursts out you make some snide comment on his caffeine intake. Furthermore, I don't remember you getting your degree in medicine. Correct me if I am wrong but when can you tell someone that they are experiencing sleep paralysis if you aren't having a personal one on one couch session with him? Thank God he experienced whatever it is he experienced that brought him one step closer to God. We cannot say the same about others.

pat22 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 ya, and some of those accusations weren't really valid
picchick Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 C.B.: What I don't understand is why do you call yourself a pagan? You believe in the one true God. Pagans believe in false gods whether one or many. The god(s) may be real to them but the fact is those gods are not the one true God. And to others: sure, maybe C.B. doesn't believe in Jesus. Neither do the Jews. Maybe he doesn't understand the Christianity the way we do. His convictions are true though so why not build on it whether than question how he came to the understanding that he did?

[/quote] To add to that, he also has clearly stated that he is open to what we believe and is actively exploring his new faith in Christ- a work in progress, so to speak. To ignore that would be truly reprehensible.
Resurrexi Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 [quote name='Selah' date='20 September 2009 - 10:39 PM' timestamp='1253504358' post='1970166'] Huh? [/quote] A priest who does not believe in God can offer the sacrifice of the Mass as long as he pronounces the words of consecration over bread and wine with the intention of doing what the Church does. The Early Christians who were coerced into offering incense to the emperor had to do severe penance for the sin of idolatry, even if they did not believe that the emperor was divine. So too, an atheist who participated in the sacrificing of a bull to Poseidon would be worshiping that god, even if that atheist did not that Poseidon was real.

Nobody says he behaved well, but do you not see how you could have come off as unnecessarily rude and dismissive?

There is a reason that kid often ended up ostracized, friendless, and convinced that all the other kids were out to get them. We're both grown ups, in fact you're older than I, why don't we leave the playground croutons and "attitude" behind?
