Never mind... my opinion isn't worth the bandwidth. Have a nice day (and I do mean that sincerely).

You know if you go back and re-read, I don't believe you will find that I said to quit posting on this thread. I pointed out that he gave fair warning about the content, and also that it might be more appropriate to start your own thread rather than threadjack his thread. If you will notice, I did not even say that I would not read your thread nor post on it so how does that demonstrate my intolerance?

Owl, sorry for my own threadjacking I will leave. I just think that the issue came down to being respectful of you, and I certainly felt your warning was considerate and respectful in trying to set the tone for this type of discussion.

Well, I'd like to point out that by no means did I intend or want anyone to attack or feel attacked on this thread.

I can understand that some people don't believe in God, or feel that God let them down in their crisis.

I do agree that this thread was NOT intended to bring in disupute on overall Christian behavior, political agendas or civil rights issues...the intent of this thread was to provide hope to those who do believe that God can and will work in their lives, if they give Him the freedom to let them.

GBH, I wonder if at some point in your life you might not look back at this discussion from a different viewpoint. I was saved late in my life compared to some...I was 33 at the time. Always believed that 'a god' of some kind could be out there, but he didn't have anything to do with me.

I have no intent to try to 'convert' you, or anything along those lines, but I did want to get you to stop and think about one thing...you mentioned that "God wasn't there for me"...did you truly LET him do His will in your situation? Or did you insist on controlling it yourself? There MIGHT be your answer....or I could be full of doo doo...I don't truly know your life.

I would ask that everyone please stop attacking and drop any references to political issues or views that are outside of the scope of this site and thread...focus instead on the gist of this thread. If you don't agree with it, feel free to post...but don't cloud the waters with any other issues. And lets remain respectful of each other, regardless of our views.
