I bow to your omniscience bro James … and that yer always one step ahead of the ball.
People care but it suits you to believe only that people who care about what you do really care. Yours is a gated community of one James.
Can you stop trying to be The Messiah and just be normal and yourself, The Messiah was always right. you I assume are not omniscient and are human, despite having what I think I can safely say: one of the most haughty demeanours I have ever encountered . Again constructive criticism, if you want to convince anyone you are right lay off the proselytising and start thinking just maybe once, maybe in your lifetime you could learn something from being wrong. Admitting you are wrong is not a sin, hell we all are human and flawed. I can safely say I have learnt more by being wrong on a forum than by being right because everyone learns by mistakes. If you want to spend your forum life learning nothing then so be it though.
Heads up people are becoming bored of your sermonising, it might be worthwhile changing your posting style if you don’t want to become a forum joke as you are I am sad to say rapidly becoming your highness.
God help you James, because only humility will save you from yourself. Another offer of objective criticism you can take or ignore before it’s too late.
“Pride cometh before destruction and a haughty spirit before the fall.”
Some Bible dude.
TRALIX: Enough of this trashing James for his participation in this conversation. A little kindness and humility goes a long way if you want people to take YOU seriously. No one here is trying to be anything but what they are…including you. You [and others] don’t like what you hear because it makes you uncomfortable, so you attack it and apparently, in your mind anyway, that seems to make you feel superior. Well, don’t think of yourself more highly than you ought. We are all flawed, even me. Have a nice day. :-"
We are members one of another. Brothers and sisters. So of course we’re gonna fight like brothers and sisters. It’s the way its always been. There’s nothing wrong with me giving you a noogie, or a wedgie. It’s what bros and sisters do. So look out sister …
Do as though would be done by, since James treats my posts with contempt and arrogance refusing to answer even the most logical and correct arguments. Then why should I not respond in kind? I don’t feel the need to stroke James’s ego, besides if I did it would take more than my lifes work, because it is so large.
James casts big rocks from his green house, perhaps he should turn his perception on himself, start talking to people as if he does not have all the answers, before he expects anyone to give him the same accord. Don’t expect reciprocal behaviour on the basis of your Anointed status.
Quite although I am soon to be banned for telling James what he really needs to hear, publicly so that anyone can disagree with anything I have said, rather than in private I think.
I’m tired of being talked down to by someone who doesn’t really understand the subject, demeaned and accused of being in a grade school class if I don’t understand his great wisdom. I shouldn’t have to put up with it and nor should anyone else. My advice is don’t insult people if you do not expect to be insulted in return. I would turn the other cheek but then that’s not the way I think certain situations can be resolved, even if Jesus said so.
At the moment it is pretty much the one who insults someone the most subtly doesn’t get banned with James, something some forums call skating on thin ice or raking ( where you insult someone close to a rule being breached for the sole intent of provoking a reaction), well I am tired of that too. I think it’s time we laid some sort of card on the table, even if it isn’t a flame war card. 
Enough is enough James if you can’t answer peoples questions then say so, don’t just avoid them and talk down to everyone like you are the next big thing, it’s weak. You don’t have the qualifications to talk down to anyone. Your degree is not in maths physics or theology so can the superior chatter, thanks.
OK, Tralix, take it easy. Smile and take a deep breath and start over again. Life is too short. No one is giving you that hard a time, are they? Talk to you again soon. Have a great day! 
Two, thanks - yes its been a good time. But then we are confronted with the lads here … and wonder about maturity and all.
I know that you have been bugged by the excess baggage of Christianity and I think you have influenced me too. I have recently left the job I had with the church because they are one of the worst employers around and they took a stance on my position - but it has been to the best.
I was recently listening to “the four horsemen discussion” youtube.com/watch?v=n7IHU28aR2E between Hitchens, Dawkins, Dennet and Harris and thinking they had a point that all religionists simply miss: It is simply our opinion if we choose to follow some tradition. The authority of what we obey is given by us. There is no innate authority in the Bible - we either find something in it, or we don’t. If we choose to follow some other idea, well thats OK too! The whole excitement arises from times when people’s safety relied upon being loyal to the group. To project this situation on churches in Europe or America is being somewhat paranoid - its enough when the less developed countries are stuck in this dilemma.
However, I rose to make a comment and James has said it isn’t his agenda to discuss with people, so I ask myself what he’s doing here. He says that people don’t care, but I think that people become indifferent to his attitude, rather than not caring per se.
Anyway, look after yourself mate!
That was the point.
As long as people are judging truth through the concern of attitude; what they like, who they like, and such, they will remain hopelessly lost and pervert everything said into something unsaid. My personal “agenda” has nothing to do with trying to make them different than they are, merely giving the opportunity. And they can’t do that as long as they merely agree with whoever they like and disagree with whoever they dislike. So, “let them filter themselves”… for now.
It takes a lot of filtering of the mud and gravel to find even one diamond.
Although we’re not on a psychology forum, I think that you are projecting some experience generally rather than communicating individually. There wasn’t even the suspicion of indifference in my attitude towards you in reaction to your post, it was more the generalisation you made that peeved me. I was prepared for argument but not with what came and you offered nothing in the form of argument.
You are on some crusade that I don’t understand, but you are writing on a discussion forum - so you shouldn’t be surprised that people don’t understand what you are about. You don’t say it. You’d rather have us filter the mud to find the “diamonds” of your intelligence. The question is, who hasn’t become indifferent towards your attitude? Is anybody going to filter the mud as you would have them do …?
Always enjoy your threads Bill, please keep posting more. You add an extra spring to my step each day.
Why perhaps the greatest thing humans are is emotional appropriately, and when they feel aggrieved they often talk sense. Take a deep breath, pretend nothing matters and vegetate, I’d rather die. Embrace who you are and what you feel, being fake, calming your inner spirit is for chumps. Although I would advise if you are going to be yourself, you be yourself well without any insulting prose or downright infamy. 
I am not banned, have no idea why, but when I posted that the sword of Damocles was hanging over me. 
I am used to people saying they think everything is shit, they don’t get emotional, they live in a funk. This happens all the time and has been happening to young people for all eternity. There have always been “goths” the fact they have always been assholes however is probably an eternal truth. Take a series of breaths, think what you want to say with your head held high and say it because you care. Even if it is full of shit at least it is honest!
“Filter yourselves”, not “the diamonds of my intelligence”.
Just leave it at that.
That is a wise poem … especially: “Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit!”
PS The ignore button is helpful …
then stop looking in gravel, unless you’re a fool
You have an alternative?
try a diamond mine, or a jewelry store
This thread became a pissing contest early on and went down from there. There was never a discernible thesis to begin with except for disagreement with O’Reilly’s of the wall statement. I was busy over the holidays and let this thing get out of hand. Sorry. I’m locking it now.
