My Apology to Believers

1. 59

   marinealways24posted 14 years ago

   I sincerely appologize to all of the believers that I have upset by analyzing how your faith works in comparison to logic. I truly appologize if I made you think about how your faith and belief works and operates.
   
   I will call it truths. I forgive you for your emotionally driven backlash in defense of faith.
   
   I hope you can forgive me as well. Afterall, the bible does teach forgiveness.

      Marinealways, you apologize when you're sorry for something you've done.  This apology clearly says you're not sorry at all, so why bother - did someone ask you?
      
      You haven't upset me because I'm not a believer, but I can't blame believers for being upset because I've noticed the threads you've started.  Your tone is belligerent and deliberately provocative.
      
      I'm all for rational debate on beliefs, and it annoys me when some religionists respond to calm discussion in a hysterical or preachy way.  But that doesn't justify non-believers deliberately baiting them.  Let's face it, you're not going to achieve anything worthwhile that way, except get people angry.  Why do you want that?

         People only get angry when they want to get angry. It's not my fault they put their emotions into my hands. It's not up to me to control their emotions unless they let me. They should control their own emotions.

            So you're saying that if I were to call your mother a toad or say you were stupid, you wouldn't get angry?
            
            Grow up, please.  If you're going to be rude about people, they are entitled to get angry.  I see you making post after post about people's beliefs where you are clearly being rude and provocative.
            
            If I read them like that, bearing in mind I agree with a lot of your opinions on religion, imagine how believers must react.

                        You have learned nothing about what causes people to believe the Bible is true. You ha ve gone on in this thread quoting about forgiveness. You are like a person who asks for forgiveness for what they are going to do.
                        
                        When Jesus died on the cross, all sins of all men were forgiven. God gave His Son that the world might be saved. Not one sin is not forgiven. What it takes to believe the Bible to be real and true is a relationship with Jesus. If you do not believe in Jesus, you cannot know what makes anyone believe the Bible.
                        
                        What you have learned is this. You have learned that many will call you out on what you say. Some will stop conversing with you because of what you did. Others will distance themselves and get away from you.
                        
                        You have alienated many people here. Why do you keep doing that? If you want feedback, write a hub.

                           I am not dependent on people to agree with me. I want no part of a god that has to let his own son die to prove a point. If a god is so powerful, prove the point without letting your own son die.

   Hi,
   
       I have been watching your numerous threads in utter amazement and am so suprized this one has not recieved any attention. With your energy and tenacity you could encourage something helpful or positive.
   
       In the past few days there have been so many alienated, toyed with and disturbed by your threads. Most of them start with a jab or a challenge to a core value. Like you draw people out to ridicule them. And when they respond you become shameless.
   
      Seems much like a toddlers behavior...trying to see what you can get away with before you get in trouble without concern for the consequences. It doesn't look pretty and is most revealing about you. It doesn't reflect logic or faith, but an inability to mature into an adult. That you are now a father I would have expected more from you.
   
     I doubt the sincerity of your apology to those you hurt as you continue to be inflamitory on many threads. Your objective seems clear.
    
     Just an observation.

      I can agree with this statement that believers should study scriptures for themselves and discover just how real God is.
   
      My faith and knowledge that there is a God is A reality.
   
      However there are unlimited interpretations that too many believers are following. Reading books after books of interpretations that only cloud the mind as to what scripture actually says. There is only one truth.

             You may be baiting people to get their reactions because down deep you really want to know how people can have "blind faith" about anything.  Maybe you are a tad envious of their beliefs and the huge support system they have to bolster their faith.  well, any way that's how I feel sometimes when I come up against someone who rather stupidly quotes the
             Bible at me instead of using some real thought.  But if you were less abrasive about your bait techniques you might learn more.   I guess I'm saying that your ignorance is like a cry for help.  Those of us trained to always use logic have a lot of trouble just believing in something.  Check out the Buddhist way - its a little more logical and still full of mystery - plus truly founded on trust and compassionate behavior.   Some more compassion in the world would be nice.

    Hello,
    
    I can honestly say that I have read very little of the threads that have dealt with the false conversion.  I will say this ... only a deeply wounded person seeks to tear down another.  I don't know if the apolgy was sincere or not but here is the truth ... whether or not it was sincere here in lies the challenge for Believers ... receive it as if it were.  We are called to forgiveness and in the forgiving we are blessed.  We are set free in the forgiving just as we are redeemed in our being forgiven.  My heart is truely grieved that the conversion was not a real one ... and so is God's heart.  Marine ... Believe in Him or not, He believes in you and He desires that you would truly come to know Him.  Oh, and I do forgive you.

             I'm not for or against marine, although I admire his courage very much. Reading this whole thread made me think of how much people can react when they are provoked. Maybe because I don't feel much in the issue that's why I don't get upset on anything that he says. In fact, I saw clearly what he was trying to point out - he was merely showing who the believers are and how they behave. I say good training for those who really believe. (I am a believer, by the way.)
             
             Keep it up marine! You are a good source of strength for those who believe in what they believe in.
             
             Those are the reasons why you misinterpreted marine's "cheerleader" comment. As he has explained very well, what he meant about the comment is not the stereotype that cheerleaders are weak, but that a hubber was only cheering the rest of those who posted quite angrily about his thoughts - that is, just joining the mob. So why did I say, "It's just a common stereotype. No need to get too sensitive."? Because that's what you think, and that's what you thought he thinks.
             
             Let us think more clearly. Marine may have made his point already, but very few people are getting it.

    Your credibility is gone, marine. People have made it clear they don't trust you. I'm sure that hurts even though you won't admit it.
    
    But don't make matters worse by continuing to sing your silly logic/faith song and acting like a smart-arse when you respond to people.
    
    A blind man could see you're starved for attention (a case of "new father's new baby jealousy" perhaps?) but you're going about getting some in a bad way.
    
    Why not get away from the forums for a week (from the looks of things you spend most of the day here), forget about HubPages entirely and enjoy your new baby? Things may look a lot different after a week of allowing the fallout and emotions (yours included) to settle.
    
    Then you can make a fresh start, maybe with a new perspective on things; maybe everyone will have a new perspective on things. It will take time to get people to trust you again (maybe some never will) but a little time away from here certainly wouldn't hurt anything.

I have met a wonderful host of friends at hub pages. Some I have read and choose not to go there.We have choices. Many are lost many  and perhaps spiritually  ill. They need prayer.

    Or is this silliness going to continue. You people have made your point, even those who are of a religious following. Yes, you've been scorned, and hurt.
    
    Well, MOVE ON! Get over yourself and be done with it. It is absolutely completely uncalled for and it's not all Marine's fault. For those of you who haven't be keeping up with the forums...then you should be making wide-eyed B.S. comments, when you don't have all the facts.
    
    Unfortunately, for those of you who are believers...NONE of you ever decided to ask the man what is beliefs really were?
    
    Absolutely NO ONE bothered to ask. Yet, everyone is willing to cast stones. The believers- for those of who have the decency to show some respect and NOT even engage...You are a priceless faith. You truly are, you are a credit to your religious beliefs. I commend you.(the people I am referring to are all those who remained quiet through it all, never said a word. it is those people who apparently grasp their belief more tightly and have a better understanding.)
    
    Now- for the rest of you- including non-believers- if any of you just for a second didn't use your brain or your conscience for one iota of a second, then you would've seen thru what Marine did.
    
    Since you didn't, you place no blame on yourself. That's pathetic. And, for anyone who really wants to know what this was really about- read YOSHI's long posts and LEARN something for a change.
    
    Don't bother directly challenging me. It won't do any good, because I reject all religions that have anything to do with anything outside of reality. You want to have a mystical belief in the unknown. That's your business. My work is based on understanding how you form your belief and I can tell you right now- many believers belief is out fear of death and hope their is a better life waiting for them when they die.
