It's your insanity that people are reacting to. Stop ranting and start paying some real attention to the real facts. Not your facts but the real facts. Again, take the entire transcript to your minister and then to your psychiatrist. They'll both have some good advice for you.
Oh, he'll be back. He does a YAGE on a regular basis on at least three forums, but he's always back. Always.
@Cody Fousnaugh....I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't state that you know what my opinion would be about anything. I am perfectly capable of stating my own opinions on topics of discussion and I do not like your taking it for granted that I agree with your opinion or you using my name and my faith to back up your opinion. I also do not like that your brought your drama onto my Prayer thread....which has nothing to do with my topic at all. Being that it doesn't have anything to do with my topic I have asked Yvonne to remove your posts from that thread. Cody, Christians do not have the right to make others bend to their will or change their lives...or opinions. Being a bully Christian will never bring anyone to Christ, nor does it show Christ's love to others either. No one has to answer to you for the way they live their lives Cody or the way they decorate their bodies, etc....show love to those you don't agree with and pray for them instead of judging them.
If someone makes me feel uncomfortable in a restaurant, for whatever reason, I probably wouldn't go back because it's important to be able to trust the people who are cooking your food, but I wouldn't make a complaint or try to get him fired or anything. There are plenty of restaurants so it's easy to simply find another. That's not a moral issue, but simply a practical one. There are a couple of restaurants that I didn't go back to because the employees seemed weird to me, and in a way that was more uncomfortable than interesting. I don't know what weird people might do to my food. They might be perfectly okay, and they are probably perfectly okay to prepare it, but I don't have to justify my reasons for preferring one restaurant to another. It just makes sense to me to go where I feel comfortable. I think most of us make decisions about where we eat, or where we shop, that are based on things that are not necessarily clear-cut. Why do people prefer one business to another business that sells the same items? No one really has to justify or even try to understand that. I also don't shop in small clothing stores where the store clerks hover and barrage me with questions about helping me. Yeah, I know that's their job and some people might be offended if no one offered to help them. But I turn around and look for a place where they're not going to do that, like Amazon.com. Personal preference.
I have just now happened upon this thread by chance and must say, if I was not already predisposed to expect the direction it would go, and read it as a new-comer, my impression would have been that, well, .......these people ought to "get a life". Everyone gets gradually more agitated, with invectives thrown at @Cody Fousnaugh , who then seemingly throws in the towel, but that still is not enough...........still on and on......... I see the sensible reasoning in this thread to promote my absence, but still don't want to do it......... Maybe the new location to which @Cody Fousnaugh aspires will have no internet connection.......... Ludicrous, at best. Frank
I certainly wasn't becoming '' more and more'' agitated'', not in the least. I actually thought it was kind of amusing!!
I'm sure there are things that members of this forum don't like and that should be ok with the ones that do like those things...……...no matter what those things are. There will be criticisms on both sides, the ones that "like" and the ones that "don't like", but both should be ok to feel as they do. Trying to change somebodies mind about something "liked" or "not liked" can become a hassle. Wife and I are NOT "open-minded" to some things and that should be fine with those that are. What do you think?
