What is the "Right" religion?

[Jalu]

Listen... you asked a question...I answered for the sake of understanding. If you are still hung up on that, then I am the one who's sorry I answered. This wil be the last time. You can ask and answer your own questions if you like...I won't interrupt. And you are the one who's always focusing on differences not me. Who brought it up?

Sorry, I forgot I am not to contribute my thoughts and beliefs in this topic. Thank you for the reminder. So much for setting aside our differences, what happened?

 

[Jules]

I missed you too Jalu. It is good to read your "cheery disposition" again!
I will say this though. YOU do not tolerate other people contributing to this thread who differ to you. I am not hung up on anything. I DO NOT mind learning more about other religions. Do you?:indiffere

 

[Jalu]

Julie,
That's very sweet of you. I am so intolerant that I am the only one with these beliefs in a family of six. All my brothers and sisters believe the same as you, so do my mother and father. They differ greatly from me, so do most of my friends. Makes one wonder how I survive being as intolerant as you think I am. As for learning I don't think that there's anything you can teach me (that I'm interested in) unless you know about Hinduism and/or Shinto. I was a Christian for over 30 years. Don't think I need help there, but it's still sweet of you. :indiffere

Jalu,
I just wanted to make one point. My origional question was directed to another member who has not had the chance to respond yet. You chose of your own free will to answer. I did not mind hearing what you had to say. I just wish you did not mind my input.

 

[Jalu]

Julie,
I don't mind your input at all, but you make it seem like I'm some kind ogress who's out to get you. Just because our beliefs are different doesn't mean I have anything against you (or any other person). I think what's going on here is that we are taking people's opinions way too personal. To get something straight once and for all whatever I said in the past about Christianity and the Bible was not aimed as an attack. It was simply "my" personal opinion based on my life's experiences, and study and research.
I have never told anyone to abandon their beliefs or that they have to embrace mine. As for asking another member...well you know this is an open forum....right.

Jalu,
How did we get from asking and answer time to bonking heads? I never asked for this. I was innocently asking questions. I put one comment in on what "I" am going to do when "I" die. You slammed on the brakes and got in my face. Please Jalu, let me participate here too. You have been giving me a hard time from day one and I want it to stop. I am willing to look past this and be friends, are you? I thought we had already got past this before by computer crashed. Let's shake and share input please. A friend, REALLY! I mean it. Julie

 

[katw_03]

How about a truce, Julie & Jalu??

 

[Jalu]

For the sake of understanding I don't see it as "slamming on the brakes" on you. You have express your belief plenty of times, and I haven't even interfered. What I meant was that the question was about what those who don't believe in god.....well...here it is again:

Julie:What does a person believe in concerning the after life if they do not believe in God?

I answered because I think it will help you/us understand where others are comming from.

You said: What do you mean by you just keep coming back until you get it right? Can you, I mean get it right?
For me, I am not coming back. Once is enough. When I die I am going home to be with my Lord Jesus Christ.

Above you are answering me as if I was saying that my belief applies to you.
I was just saying where I come from not that you have to accept it. That's what I meant by sticking to the question.

I haven't given you hard time at all...you take things into heart. If you want to avoid misunderstanding just ask what I mean if you are not sure. Nobody makes our life hard for us, but ourselves.
I have no problem with beings friends...I have friends of all kinds.

In Buddhism we see adversity/enemies/harships as an opportunity for learning, and we end up being grateful for having the opportunity
to overcome adversity. It makes us better equipt to deal with similar situations in the future. In the end our (perceived) enemies end up being our greatest teachers. There's no greater compassion.

I think you two are arguing about two different things.

I come in peace.

That statement that Julie said ("For me, ... ") can be taken two different ways. The problem with forums is that all you can do is type out words for you to post, but you cannot express the tone with which you say something.

You may write something thinking that what you wrote is a calm statement, but the person on the receiving end will interpret it completely differently.

Just something to think about ...

So, I guess you're all friends now ... and I was hoping to see a catfight

 

[Jalu]

I think you are right....and about that "catfight":
What fun would it be unless you get to see clothes come off?

[yudansha]

And NOW we're thinking ...

Where's Craig ... we need to pitch him the idea of having live-feed ...

 

[Jules]

I have received "interference" almost everytime here. Scroll back and check.
I asked questions out of curiousity. Curiosity killed the cat I guess. I wanted to share what I would do when I croak. I choked on that too. I have never condemned or judged anothers faith, but shared mine. When I do it is considered Shoving it down others throats. As I do when I read of other faiths, you can embrace it or not. Period. Jalu and I were having a friendly chat until she stopped it. I thought we got passed all this so we could contribute "together". Why is it when I said what "I" would do the converation turned ugly? My two cents not worthy? I am tired Jalu. I want to contribute without controversy. A friend Julie

 

[yudansha]

We've got a big wallet here!

And Tora brought in her big jar. So, throw all the cents that you can. We (or at least I) will accept all those donations.

 

[Jules]

You seem to have a big heart too Yudansha. Don't lose it. I would go to chat but my computer says I am not registered. ????

[Jalu]

So...if we are on the same page why is it that you keep ranting about how intolerant (you think) I am. What exactly is it that you want?
Look...I'm not mad at you or anything, but if it's gonna cause you so much heartache I will stay away from you and you can stay away from me. How's that? No hard feelings....

Everything was peachy until I contributed. Enough said. Next thread.

 

[DoHuhJooSay]

Julie came back with a !!!!!!!!!BANG!!!!!!!!!!. Welcome back girl..it's good to finally see you again.

 

[tora]

Ah well,Yudansha has a big heart,never mind...but I do have a big penny jar.Never mind either... And someone's so generous on throwing pennies all over the place
Hey Julie,here are my 2 cents You believe in God.I believe you believe in God.Don't you believe I believe you believe in God?I believe in everything.And I believe in nothing.And you're supposed to believe I believe in both.And I'm supposed to believe you believe I believe it.
If it was a little more than 2 cents,I don't mind it.I still have my interest running up high.
