Jeanie: I am so biting back some seriously smart aleck remarks. Yah - so beautiful. And so limited.... I like star gazing, etc. myself but we are so much more than that.


I find it rather hurtful that just because I'm not religious you can so freely and openly trash my personal beliefs. I imagine if I logged on here and said christians are foolish and limited for having their beliefs (and, no, I do not feel this way) I would not hear the end of it. Why is it acceptable for you to stab at my beliefs? Do you feel that just because I don't believe in a god that I have no emotions? That I cannot get my feelings hurt?

May I ask your sexual orientation?


No you may not. Since my arrival on this forum I have taken great pains to be as polite and civil with every poster on here, yet you have derided me twice now in what I consider to be a very offensive manner. You have put words in my mouth and described my personal beliefs as limited. I do not use my real name in an online forum and I do not reveal where I live. There are posters here I have exchanged private messages with and I've spoken about these things with but that is not in a public forum for the whole world to see. If I don't share these things openly why on earth would I talk about, of all things, my private bedroom activities with you and why are you asking in the first place? I'm here to discuss the topic of creation and evolution, and if there's something I disagree one of the two sides has claimed I intend to target that claim, not the person making the post. What about you?
