Contempt before investigation

JK666

Wow,

I have read though Maddie's thread the last day or so, and have really been repulsed by some of the comments that she received. Some just responded BS; How eloquent!?

And some of our most prolific posters that try to become logical all of a sudden! I will reserve comment, but they know that they have earned my contempt.

Maddie, I do not have an opinion either way. I wish you nothing but the best in your future. May your life be eternally happy.

I just want to remind you of a quote that will warm your heart against the naysayers:

“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance— that principle is contempt prior to investigation.” —HERBERT SPENCER

Thank you JK and I wish you the same happiness in your life too

The "Bullshit" comment was rude, but everyone else pretty much seemed supportive. I don't see what the big deal is.

Freudian,

This has nothing to do with Maddie, but all to do with JK666 and NVR who have a history of sorts. Maddie is just being used as a Trojan horse for those with a personal agenda. I agree with you, that she was 'supported' by the vast majority, and those who did not 'support' her have the right to question her experience, as much right as she has of presenting it. Understanding this takes a level of maturity that seems to be missing in some posters - hence this pointless thread. HS

HS-

Since, in the initial post she said:

I know there are many sceptics and atheists on JWD but

I kinda think she expected some skepticism (a huge leap in reasoning, I know ) and therefore doesn't really need protecting against it.

Freudianslip - You are right in what you say, that I expected some would make fun but I am not offended and most posters have made nice comments.

Maddie-

You appear to be a grown woman who has a mind of her own and doesn't need any person to validate her. I appreciate that. I just think THIS thread was created in a misguided attempt at chivalry . It seems pretentious.

hillary,

This is my last post of the day.

So let me tell you that you are full of yourself. If it smells like bovine excrement, that is what it is!

Maddie,

You have been a big help to me, and I will never forget your words of encouragement. I am sincerely happy for your newfound happiness.

Who really knows what is out there. I sure don't. I have been drifting more toward agnostism, but that isn't necesssarily reality. Some know it all ex-elders have now got it figured out, and everything can be put in a nice, neat little package. I say F them, and the horse they rode in on. If this new situation works for you, go with it. It sure is better than anything I have, or those pompous assholes do either.

I do not have contempt! Luv ya Maddie!
