Well, that's the beauty of the forums. You can decide what you care to read and what you don't.

You can also decide what kind of emotions you'll allow yourself to feel when you read words.

It's all entirely up to you.

well "artgurl"..my point is when creativesoul was arguing with "JennieBean" and "Feralcatlady" was he as you said also degenerating into something less honouring as an indiviual or was he just creativesoul in a debating forum debating an intense topic with two people intensively

possibly

I haven't been following the religion threads for several months (as I said)...just read the odd post here and there...

In the past, I have seen creative's words twisted, his integrity questioned and personal attacks made upon his character while he took the high road...

And I have seen him cross the line ...take responsibility and apologize for it...


Are you asking me to comment on "arguments" that I did not follow through a thread? Uhhhh okay ... lemme get my swammy hat ...

I Creative

Me too

no need to get your crystal ball out because when you said that you seen him crossed the line...did he make that determination or did he let others do if for him

I am going to need more than a crystal ball if you continue to want me to answer for someone else...

But the time I remember ... he made the determination himself... as soon as he wrote a comment he was disappointed in himself and set about correcting the situation.

see "Abracadabra" you just taught "star_tin_gover" how to act more christian-ly ...you are simply a shepherd tending the flock...and I'm not flocking kidding either

Thats right

since you seen the behavior in question then there is no need for a crystal ball... so would you agree that creativesoul at times would {in your words} degenerate into something that is less than honouring of the individuals ...

To even ask such a question is less than honouring and rather rude.

He is one of the most honouring individuals I have ever known and will absorb more than most before becoming reactionary. Is he human? Yup ... just like the rest of us.


And no... I have not seen him do some of the character assassinations I have seen others partake in ...

well "artgurl" creativesoul speaks in parables so he may have assasinated someone's character and you just didn't decipher it but others may have the ability to unparable his parables.. but anyway.. it appears you caught on what I'm up to and now trying to defend that type of behavior when you yourself were at first condemning others that displayed it...but let's make sure first

..so "artgurl" I didn't asked you was he human or not..I asked since you said that you yourself have seen creativesoul cross the line do you agree that at times he would {these are your own words} degenerate into something that is less than honouring of the individuals ...it's a simple yes or no question

so is it more rude to ask the question or is it more rude to make such a statement about others... those are "artgurl's" exact words ...so please don't shoot the messenger ...

I was on to what you wanted long ago funches ...

I may not have been able to decipher his parables but others can? I lack the brain power huh?

You underestimate me Funches ... I may not say alot here anymore so you don't know me ... but very little gets by me ...

I would actually guess that it is others who have the more difficulty understanding where he is coming from ... so many assume they know his intention ...

I am curious though why you are so intent on making this about someone who is not here to speak for themselves...

My comments were to the OP ... and yes I agreed with him on the futile nature of some of these discussions.

I still do...

On many occasions I have been attacked without provocation. I speak from my own ground of being...the operative words being 'my own'.

If you have questions for creativesoul then I am sure he will be more than happy to entertain you when he is settled after the move.

We all need to think about this


The Orthodox Jedi Code
There is no Emotion; There is Peace.
There is no Ignorance; There is Knowledge.
There is no Passion; There is Serenity.
There is no Death; There is the Force.

Additional lines to the Jedi Code:
There is no Chaos: There is Harmony.
There is no Fear; There is Courage.
There is no Foolishness; There is Wisdom.

Alternate version, written as a rebuttal to the Sith Code:
Passion is a crutch, peace is the truth.
Through peace I gain serenity.
Through serenity I gain knowledge.
Through knowledge I gain understanding.
Through understanding I gain wisdom.
The Will of the Force will guide me.

The Jedi Creed
I am a Jedi, an instrument of peace.
Where there is hatred I shall bring love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
I am a Jedi.
I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
The Force is always with me, for I am a Jedi.

Three primary tenents of Jediism
Focus
Knowledge
Wisdom


speaks for itself

(((Mirror)))


The Jedi that wrote the creed sounds alot like St. Francis

Im sure that if Creative was here he would agree with me
