I find it ironic that the one who offends the most is also the one who claims to be offended most easily. I know you weren't serious about leaving, Bat, but here's hoping you change your caustic behavior.

Could it happen that we've all become just a tad bit touchy about all this? Are our belief systems so fragile that we fear someone as insignificant as "bat" might have the power to shake our personal levels of faith? If so, I find that ironic and an unfortunate state of affairs.

Bat is not "insignificant" anymore or less then you are... we are all precious in the eyes of our Father In Heaven.

Like it or not we are all different and part of what keeps us different are our individual histories. If something shakes one persons faith and not another’s it isn't wrong. If our faith isn't tried and tested there is no room for growth and without the potential for growth that is what would be considered an unfortunate state of affairs.

Strawberry,

Thankyou, I agree with you there.

Bat,

I miss our talks, and your posts...Hopefully you won't make the mods mad again, I would miss ya dearly bud.....It's great to have your humor back

I cannot make the moderators angry. They must choose to feel anger. They choose to become angered because they Fear me.

Fear leads to anger.

Anger leads to Hate.

Hate leads to suffering.

Don't make people suffer. Resist the temptations of the dark side. Darth Vader wants you all to turn to the dark side. You should all strive to be like Master Yoda. That way, when you die, you can come back as a ghost and talk to people. Wouldn't that be neat?

Lindy,

I think you have a great outlook!  I know I could learn a lot from you (and probably many others here could!).

Thanks Shanstress :)

Maybe if my response were more like that, I wouldn't have to be moderated so much.
