SOTC thread...Why NOT to post when your angry



Recommended Posts

How can I explain it to you better?? Maybe you misunderstood what I said. Please reread the post. I WOULD NEVER God bash. I love the Lord with all my heart and I take great offense at seeing Him used this way by Christian people. Sometimes even Christians need a little reminder that their behavior could be considered very offensive by Christians and non Christians alike. Im sure my angry post last night came across as very "Un-Christianlike" but it was NOT God bashiing...

Kathy as the first line in my post said I laughed it off thinking you were having a bad day. I was talking about the few who posted after who.... (but won't name any names) I agree with what you were trying to get across. If you are going to toss the words of a child of God I do think you should live it... But in all fairness we all act a little dumb now and then... And I did not read yesterdaY post, That is one reason I am not on here much. I am so tired of all the HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA that happens here.... I hope you are having a better day and I never thought YOU were God bashing...

:deadhorse: :deadhorse: Could we please drop this thread? It is no longer productive whatsoever.

I can't believe some of you would even want to post on this thread at all.

Anyone that continues to post in this ridiculously juvenile, drama filled thread will be required to tell us how much it hurts to be an idiot.

How's that?

re: "I believe nothing that cannot be verified by my senses."

I believed that too for much of my life.

Yet how do I account for these:

Time, tide, gravity, TV signals, pheromones, brain function in relation to blood glucose levels. Brownian movment. Strong and weak atomic forces. Calcium and sodium channel pump. Mitochondrial function. Ionization. X-ray and gamma ray production. Radiation. Atomic decay. Fossilization process. The growth of Redwoods. Ova and sperm...invisible to the naked eye. Microscopic anything. Pluto and Xena circling the Sun. Sun spots.

My beliefs are subjected to the performance of devices that extend our senses. Yet how accurate are they and how do we interpret the data they provide? The church refused to look into Gallileo's telescope and denied the existence of the moons of Jupiter. Did they suddenly pop into existence for the convenience of a theological argument?

And what of subatomic particle physics? Quantum mechanics. Quarks, leptons, gluons....magnetism itself? I don't see electricity. I can't see the ocean....does it still swarm the shore and nourish creatures I've never encountered?

Our concepts of blood changed when we invented the microscope. And they changed again when we could look at 100x instead of 10x. And they changed again when we looked at 1000x....and again at 20000x and 30000x.....and when we could measure electric signals, and chemical signals...and again when we discovered hormonal mediation of cellular processes....and again when we could observe and measure those processes due to the effects of radiation, of environmental factors previously ignored....and when genetic mapping became possible....

Did the universe change with the addition of new devices to our world?...

Spring--hand me a bottle please. And love....I'll take a pound of it. No, make that 2 pounds.

I no longer consider my senses to be that which defines the Universe.

This, however, is poetry. It should be memorialized amongst the ashes. :clap2:

Hey people. she apologized.. Get on with it... She stated...." read it again, You must have misunderstood what I said."

Points to Ponder........

Many non-believers' last words have been, "Oh, God." However, It may have been too late.

Just for the record, I'm not offended at all by the original post. It made perfect sense to me. And you're absolutely correct, PPL

Me too, so I'm hoping NurseKathy won't mind if this thread gets killed. Come on guys, I know there's some cheese lovers out there. I, personally, love avocados. Do you know how much fat is in those puppies?:wacko:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
