I don't care what color you are. I don't care what your nationality is. I don't even mind your choice of music. Perhaps it is because I know that you aren't going to attempt to change me on any of the above... 
But folks of any religious persuasion, have a need for me to see it their way, even though I have no need for them to see it mine. They tend to feel it is for my own good. They are just trying to enlighten me.
I like the folks that can tell me why they believe what they do, without trashing another belief in the process. I've found that type of folk harder to come by, in recent years. And for sure I want someone who is MORE then their religious belief.
I think for me, religion is what abortion and politics are for others. It's that one item I am willing to run/NOT WALK away from.. 
What topics make you cringe... besides butter refrigeration? |
Hey Floppy
Words of wisdom my friend. I try....not always...to stay away from Politics, Religion and Philosophy. Oh yeah, and some of those self-help threads where you give advice that was asked for and the member keeps having the same problems over and over and over, and doesn't listen to a word that you said.
I just kinda stay in my own little world of topics that hardly anyone likes....spicy foods, astronomy and oceanograph,
and just post some things for some members who do like these threads and myself.
