They aren’t posers, they are Liberals.How do we know that you and Swan aren’t “posers”?
I suppose you don’t. If you wish to assume that I am a man and a Catholic wingnut, then do so. But I would assume that that my posts would appear quite strange from that prospective. Most people cannot keep up a facade for long. They betray themselves in language and such sooner or later. One here has for sure in claiming that Eve is the evil whereas Adam was simply duped by her.How do we know that you and Swan aren’t “posers”?
You betcha!
Actually I never have questioned that you were a woman.
I accept many women who don’t agree with me, but your post went so far beyond the bounds that you are either a male or you hate your sex so thoroughly that you cannot speak honestly about it at all. There is nothing liberal about knowing that Eve was no more at fault in the fall that Adam. That is the teaching of the Church. To claim that women are not equal to men is to be bigoted in the same way that whites were against blacks. It’s simply unacceptable and misogynistic. You would fit in quite well in that compound in Texas with those other brainwashed folks. Such self-loathing is unfortunate and you have my deepest sympathy. I would suggest therapy.
Well, wackjob, you will be waiting a L O N G time for me to crack. And your false and without reason, accusations are a joke. And I never said that Eve was evil. (Although, EVe and EVil, ahh, nevermind) I explained why, according to the Bible, it was Eve who interacted and was in fact, duped by the devil. Distort it all you want, but it explains why God wanted the setup the way it is.
I see you haven’t gone to my blog to check out my profile yet…huh?
LOLOL Yeah, that’s the first time that has EVER been said to us! LOLOL You Liberals are really beginning to bore me. LOL Freethinkers,
You guy’s have nothing new. And nothing left. All too easy.Apparently you haven’t read my posts…or you would be able comprehend what I stated.
You know, I just apologized to you in another thread because you accused me of getting personally offensive when I said you were funny. Now, not three minutes later, I find you calling someone a “wackjob”.
I don’t assume anything about you. I figure everyone is good unless they prove otherwise. I don’t know you. All I know is that you seem to love to argue endlessly and you do it in an uncharitable way. It doesn’t appear that your goal is to win people to your way of thinking, otherwise you would be a little more patient and kind. Why are you here?
For my part, I’m the pariah here - why would I lie about my beliefs seeing as how they are so unpopular here?How do we know that you and Swan aren’t “posers”?
As to why I’m here at all, I like to support those I agree with, who are usually in the minority, and to offer a different perspective for those who are genuinely interested in hearing one. This is why I try not to get into long winded debates with folks who hold other points of view - I’m not giving in, I’m such keeping my participation in a what is often a futile excerise to a minimum (though I confess to sometimes getting over-emotional). 
You know, I don’t find SpiritMeadow to be any of these things - but that’s no doubt because I agree with her. Instead I find some other folks to be a bit rude and overbearing. True, there are folks I don’t agree with. BUT, there are quite a few posters I don’t agree with that I do not feel are rude and overbearing. So you can’t just chalk it up to my disagreement. You know that old adage about how it’s not so much what you say as how you say it? I think that applies here. Interestingly enough, I’ve seen posts by folks that I radically disagreed with only to find a post by that same person on another thread/topic that I did agree with - in some cases this was such a surprise that I nearly fell out of my chair. My lesson from that is to try to be patient, keep an open mind, and give the benefit of the doubt. But I’m human too and sometimes I’m tired, or depressed (I’m bi-polar so this is a real issue for me), or just out of sorts and it come out - though not purposfully.I don’t assume anything about you.

Well yeah, did you expect me to roll over?You know, I just apologized to you in another thread because you accused me of getting personally offensive when I said you were funny. Now, not three minutes later, I find you calling someone a “wackjob”.
LOL I leave for one afternoon (went to UNC to see ron paul) and when I get back I’m so confused about what’s going on. Oh well…I’ll post something of substance later when I can get more energy.
It’s better than that now. I had some good girlfriends at the old church, but they were sort of the tomboys of the group. There was so much pressure to get married. I thought about it all the time, wondering if I could stand it. It just sounded like a nightmare.I was never pressured to get married. My mom/aunt/grandmother never really gave me the whole “when you get married, this” and “when you get married, that” routine. I always expected that I would though and looked forward to it till my parents got divorced. I saw the pain my mom went through and it killed me. They started out so wonderful and then bam, 20 years later it was over.
I didn’t get the pressure at home, but from the larger society. Even running around with rebel type friends, if someone was engaged, the automatic reaction was to be happy for her/him, regardless of who the person was about to marry. When I was 18 I got engaged to prove I was old enough to be serious, but the idea of being married was so repulsive to us both we set the date about 30 years away. Of course, we broke up. He pursued me and begged me to come back. I knew better. I hid from him, confronted him, had my friends tell him to go away… and then I met someone I thougth I wanted to marry because I thought being married to him would be like hanging out with him. But neither of us wanted ot be actually married, as in stuck, just two of us, in each other’s faces.
He got scared first that time. I’m so glad one of us put a stop to that relationship! Around and around, trying to decide how to live, whom to end up with, it went on for years.Me, too - peaceYou know, I don’t find SpiritMeadow to be any of these things - but that’s no doubt because I agree with her.
