Except for me….I can see through your charade and what you are doing is using Jesus to piss people off and that is wrong wrong wrong, going to hell wrong.

Just as you have always used your feigned ‘goodness’/ ‘godliness’ to create subtle and questionable controversy and then defend your innocence by the same ‘goodness’/ ‘godliness’, you are indeed a work of false light in the worst way. What you are doing by continuing to push these prayer threads and ignoring polite objections, is reaching for more vile objections to Jesus as people continue to protest this board being used for religion instead of what it was intended for. You are using Jesus for your own personal agenda. Baby, you need to stop it. I don’t think Jesus would be proud of you. I do think Satan would since you are creating adversary via Jesus.

Prayer is a personal thing, and surely you should continue to practice it, but there is a time and place. This is not it. "To everything, there is a season"…go look that one up if not in your Bible, then try the song, Turn Turn Turn- by the Byrds. You are in the wrong venue for what you claim to want to accomplish.

However, now that I have entered my piece, your prayer posts will probably be accepted with accolades by past protestors. I don’t care. I just wanted to say that I think you are out of line and transcribing onto this board a bunch of prayers might be a useful way of making people not attack you for your pushiness, but it is wrong to use Jesus that way…just as it has been wrong that you have used this board all along to create trouble under a guise of being so ‘playful’, not understanding ‘words’ etc. It’s one thing to do it as who you are, but Please stop using Jesus and God to get under peoples’ skin. OK?

What you are doing by continuing to push these prayer threads and ignoring polite objections,

Vil - maybe I am missing something but I have not seen any polite objections, only attempts at ridicule. I honestly dont see the harm in these posts, but if some people object surely the best way to deal with it is to respectfully request they stop, why does everyone get so nasty about it? I really dont get it.

Dee's posts only seem to occur when there are no other discussions going on, when there is a real discussion religion isnt brought into it at all.

I dont read anything else into these posts - for all I know they could be a cry for help, or maybe not.

All I know is that when people are attacked/bullied, it makes them act in all sorts of ways - look at what happened to me for an example.

It was not my intention to have anyone 'get' what I posted. I am not of a mind to try to persuade anyone. I only stated my opinions....and that is that I find it offensive to my beliefs about Jesus that Dee should try to cram Him down the throats of those who don't want to read it constantly and obsessively....and as I will stand up for my religious beliefs when I feel like it, so I did. I called it like my religious beliefs see it, and I am now done with sharing my religion here.

You have every right to say what you feel, just as I have a right to say what I feel - the truth is I just dont get what is happening here. Im not asking you or anyone else to respond to my confusion, I just wanted to state how I felt, the same as you did.

I dont know Dee's reasons for these posts but are they really doing anyone any harm? All these reactions are way over my head, I just dont get it at all.

LOner, I've read the responses to Angels's post and none of them are particularly nasty, nor do people ridicule. The problem is that they have nothing to do with scapegoating. I also find some of them a bit morbid, but that's not really the issue. I'm not sure what they say about Angel's mental health but they suggest a troubled soul to me.

I have a great passion for Hibernian FC (soccer), I also find the music of Bonnie Prince Billy very emotional. However, if I were to post random threads about either on this board I doubt they would find a welcome audience. Although I recommend both to you all, I appreciate that youmay not want to discuss the merits of the Hibees great cup victory over Kimarnock or whether "Even if Love" is the most beautiful, sad, song the Bonnie one has yet recorded. No I go to Hibs Net or My Space for these types of conversations. Do you see the gist of what I'm saying?

LOner, I've read the responses to Angels's post and none of them are particularly nasty, nor do people ridicule.

I have to disagree - telling someone they have lost the plot and to get help - how is that not an attempt at ridicule? Maybe ridicule is the wrong word, maybe just a pure insult. Im not having a go at anyone here but that is how I see this - if Im wrong tell me, I want to know. Im not afraid to admit Im wrong, Im actually finding it quite interesting how differently I see things compared to how other people see things.

I understand these posts have nothing to do with scapegoating and I can understand that people may object for that reason - but like I said, I dont understand why they are getting the reactions they are - a simple polite respectful request such as yours is surely the best way to go about this.

If people posted threads about subjects I knew nothing about, I wouldnt feel the need to insult them, I just wouldnt join in.

I have told certain people to "get help" in previous posts.

When I said this, I felt anger and wanted to "get back". (I feel my anger was justifed but thats another story). Regardless of whether my anger was justifed or not, how I dealt with it was wrong and I believe immature The good news is I am learning from this and learning to deal with things in a different and better way.

Because thats how I felt at the time when I used these words, I am assuming thats how others feel when they use these words - they are certainly not kind words are they? Maybe I am wrong to assume but that is how I see it. The reason for my confusion is that when I used these words I felt angry (Im not saying thats an excuse for using them), yet I dont understand how these posts could anger people so much that they would want to say these things. I know different things anger different people but I see the posts as harmless.

I am aware that this is something I can be particularly sensitive about due to family issues so this may be me being oversensitive but this is how I see it - If someone posts on here they may be hurting (I dont know Dee's situation so cant assume one way or the other if this is the case). From my own experience, if I am hurting and someone then makes fun out of me for my reaction to that hurt - it makes the hurt so much worse. I see this as ridicule but I know I very sensitive about this kind of thing so I may be over reacting.
