Leaving the Religious forum, last goodbyes

1. 77

   Castlepalomaposted 12 years ago

   In the beginning most of my questions were answer with a better answers, truth is in degrees, for everything changes. After two years I’ve hit the ceiling of this forum where most of my questions go unanswered or they are not good enough. My atheist Mother loves us three children equally, including my Brother who is a pastor.  Like most veteran artist, I love the World more than my own family, so I respect and love atheist and religious persons equally.  Yet I find too many small problems on this Forum that could be left for politician to solve.  I’m on this forum to learn more and the aim is to handle the larger problem so want to move to bigger things.
   
   
   Just to name a few  helpful  people
   Rad Man, Mark Knowles, A Troubled Man,Emile R, penny, disappearing head, Randy Godwin jonnycomelately and many others.  Even give brotheryochanan lots of love, or who ever like him, needs it.
   
   The fastest growing "religious" group in America is made up of people with no religion at all, according to a Pew survey showing that one in five Americans is not affiliated with any religion. Most people tell me they are spiritual rather than Religious,
   
   Saying goodbye doesn't mean much when our time spent together mattered. Being involved and a part of something that is really a phenomenon has been serious fun. Moving on To a deeper spiritual sided forum, for is more of our future flow of the World is headed.
   
   
   Thank you and goodbye...
   any last words?

         Art work will be displayed under Arts and design coming soon here on Hubpage
         
         I’m very grateful for all the people that have contributed to my personal growth and work to present on Hubpages. As you could see too much of my work and soul goes into my questions then too often goes unanswered here and worst not even attempted.  For one example on “Ask an Atheist” thread. My only Religion is to respect and love people and nature, It’s time to graduate toward a deeper spiritual side forum to further personal growth and the film documentary titled “Spiritual Age”
         
         Working on a grants and already have many wonderful people on board.  Won’t go as far as being so Monk like because as soon as the woman, that I worship,  gives a BJ, any other group membership goes out the window.

      Too bad you didn't learn anything.
      and what you thought were good answers that you gave - weren't, they were just in lines with the other losers you mentioned. You needn't have bothered mentioning me. I am just glad one more spiritual robber has left the forum. You guys are dropping like flies...

            BO probably skipped over that part. Pesky words that would only keep him from feeling superior. What fun is religion if you can't use it to convince yourself you are better than others?

         Fortunately there is more than one meaning of the term "B.Y.O."   
         
         Brother it must be a very tiring job you have there!   Living in that superior role, so much better and higher place in the view of your Lord and having to defend the position against all enemies......
         
         Please accept my humble apologies if my comments and critiques of your style and opinions have caused you to stumble or falter.  I was assuming, it seems wrongly, that your faith was so strong it could buffer you from any assault which the Devil could conjure up against you.
         
         If you can ever do a University Degree course in the art of giving and receiving humour, please bring what you have learned back here to Hub Pages and share some of the learnings with us....let us laugh with you....... your Lord won't mind, in fact He will most likely laugh with you.

      It’s time to Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead. Why Christians prepare their entire life to die is beyond me." Been here too long, two years of research on Religion, best I can do is accept it, although I think imagination is more important than the Bible's knowledge.
      It’s good to a few deep thinkers like you on the forum anyways, kess

      Will be promoting my off grid green homes and art works on HubPages. Some sculpture theme are Religious, yet no more after all this heavy arguing, debates forever disagreement and afterlife threats. Well an honest answer can get you into a lot of trouble." If most Christian believe most of us go to hell, If we get very upset with someone in Hell, where do you tell them to go?

            We were, literally and figuratively, in the same boat. .... According to mythology the journey of life your path is toward salvation, some huge believers prefer to lag behind in separate row boats, that call themselves different religions and domination of those religions.
            
            I prefer more of a boat of kindness rather than a boat of more separte Religions. A unified boat moves towards a friendlier world first and no need to love your enemies, if we are all Gods.

                     That's an interesting assumption based on our limited interactions. 
                     
                     To do away with the metaphor, we're all in one boat teeming with humanity.  Occasionally, we need to step out of the boat and follow our own individual path for a bit.

                              Too often many people here are majoring in minor things, not all. It's important for further my  research with people of deeper thinkers Did find other Spiritual forums offering better working environment for open and  free minds.

   When I stopped posting in the Religious forum, I felt no need to leave in such a grandiose way. If you're done discussing with certain people, just stop discussing with them. This is the beauty of the internet. The repetitiveness of this forum has, in my observation, always been here, and probably always will. It will be there again if/when you feel the need to indulge. Just leave quietly. Nobody will notice. There are plenty of people on both sides of each argument for the nature of this forum to continue on. If it's stressful and annoying to you, the easiest way to quit is quietly. If you're sick of it, you can just leave, and you will be left alone--nobody sent me a private message when I stopped responding to these "god is" and "god isn't" arguments.
   
   Oops, guess I started replying to these forums again. My bad.

            Who else on the this forum claims everyone is God in order they all can be respected equally. Even the USA declare by law Atheists as a Religion, even world champion Richard Dawkins claim he is deeply Religious.
            
            The World is changing the direction of the spiritual age, just that I would not use the word "Religion", it might be disrespectful to non religious people like me.
            
            I'd be a poor artist if  didn't  stir anything up. Being Rude, that concept is too wide open, just not belonging to Yahweh to be saved could be coincided rude to the fight club. I know, from losing family members and jobs project, just for not belonging to the right righteous domination.

         Nothing wrong in your thinking small, I think toward middle ground when it comes to the extreme of "Us against them" Too many over ego group fight clubs, who are not really seeking larger pictures of getting along with new ways of thinking very well. Fighting is not my thing, honest and harmless solutions are.
