New Planet of the Whiners.
Gosh, they sure are touchy on planet Brandioch.

It used to be your wounded pride was amusing. Like teasing a cat or a Frenchman. But it got old fast. Trouble is, I'm not even trying to provoke you. I just speak plain sense, sometimes not even to you in particular, and you just throw a fit.

Well, I'm not about to shut up for your benefit. You'll just have to get over it. Or not. It's all more or less the same to me.

(Yes, folks, I do troll on purpose every once in a while. But nowhere near as frequently as it would appear from the reactions I get. I'm mostly an accidental troll.)

Truth is that which is the case. Accept no substitutes.

"For those who need to think in concrete terms."

Go ahead.

You claim to be closer to "The Truth" with your opinions. That requires that you know what "The Truth" is.

I just speak plain sense, sometimes not even to you in particular, and you just throw a fit.
:)

I guess that asking you to share "The Truth" is "throw(ing) a fit" to you.

I understand that. I've seen that same behaviour in most religiously obsessed people. One must NEVER question the revealed Truth of the prophet.

You're having a problem because you can't tell the difference between your opinion and "The Truth". Or, more correctly, you know there is a difference, but you think you're closer to "The Truth" than I am. Which, effectively, means the same thing.

How very Clintonesq of you.

New Whiners and the truth
usually the whiners are the ones that are spilling out the truth left and right. They are the ones hurt by the lies and the wrongs that have been done.

Face facts, if everyone always did the right thing, it would be a perfect world. But because not everyone does the right thing, and people do sin, we need religion to forgive ourselves. That is why Jesus came to forgive people, because everyone has sinned in some way. Because of this, nobody is really 100% innocent unless they were just born, or are divine in some way (like Jesus, his mother Mary, etc) because they were born without sin.

I do what I think is right, not everyone will agree with me that what I do is right. Like complaining on public forums about how bad my life is. I just felt it was the right thing to do, and seek the opinions of others to see just what are my options, what I can do about it, and also this is how a document things in case I do die and someone wants to know why and what happened to my last days?
