The man who abused many of his family members over many years, finally passed away.
Was I sad? Not even a little bit. Was I happy? No, there is no joy in the death of a wicked person,
just relief that they cannot hurt anyone else anymore.
On his death bed, just hours before he died, he still would not admit that he had raped his own daughters,
he told her that he would haunt her from his grave if he could.
Some people are pure evil, and deserve it when they die.
I's the b'y that builds the boat,
I's the b'y that sails her
I's the b'y that catches the fish
and takes them home to Liza
i talked with my father in law yesterday... he is very much a simple minded man, deeply fanatical about the religion.. he said to me "you do have to realize that it's the truth, you see the truth never changes like other religions".
i wanted to vomit in my mouth, but i just remained silent, no need to draw undue attention to myself, or about my true feelings.
as far as anyones concerned i'm just inactive.. but i was on the tip of talking about many things that change, and if they change they say the light is getting brighter.
"You do have to realize that it's the truth, you see the truth never changes like other religions"
I admire your lack of restraint in keeping quiet!
I would of bit my tongue so hard it probably would of bled.
This is the type of people that the Society wants - ignorant simpletons with no education.
No offence meant to your FIL.
think about this.. go way back...far far back in history.. go back before the internet.
go back farther.. go back before newspapers, tv and radio.. go waaaaay back before there was public education.. return to a time when there were no universities or libraries.. go even farther back in time and return to when it was thousands of years before any modern era.. people got their ideas from their families and neighbors period!.
everything was rumor.
Do you mean to say: No God, No War?
There will always be War! With or without God.
TopHat, No, not at all. I was just saying that belief in God begat religion,
Religion in turn caused certain wars/crusades, and that caused bloodshed. If I am wrong, I humbly stand corrected.
Yes, there will always be war, with or without God.

It is amazing that the fabrications of our own mind, turned into belief - could cause so much bloodshed and terrible panic.
When we decide to make those beliefs quiet...what is left?...it is not the vacuum we expect, but a sense of contentment and peace.
Thank you for putting it so succinctly, Terry.
if a new policy arose stating that everyone could return and start afresh, would you ever think about returning----especially if you had family and friends in that would now talk to you again?
?
No, I do not want to be identified with them ever again.

does he/it really exist to you?
since i've become more empowered in my fade.....i've been realizing satan is just a huge guilt tool used by religion in general.
at this point i believe 'he' doesn't exist...........
Lore, help me to bite my tongue.
i regularly talk to a poster on this board via the pm system...............mainly because i like his mind.......today he suggested in reply to something i had said that basically men and women dont do friendship.........he asked the question 'why do people even bother with each other if they dont fancy each others intimacy?
'...............not that he was suggesting this about us.........but i am just wondering what you lot think.. it has been my experience to have some wonderful men friends...........i love mens company and their conversation..........now i am wondering if all those 'mates' were/are after something else............well not really........i am pretty sure at least some of them arent.. so whats your view/experience.........can men and women just be good friends.. oh and to my friend who i pm.........this is not a criticism of you.........i am interested in what others experiences are..........and i will give you a big kiss (on the cheek) one day when i see ya to make up for it.......... fi.
I have both close female and male friends of all ages...
we have alot in common, we share laughter and tears, so far none of them have turned romantic.
Yes, I think men and women can be just good friends.
