Do you not even know where you are? You've seen the illusion or you wouldn't have said you can't even go out around the holidays because it makes you sick to watch all the materialism.

So don't act like someone ELSE who sees the illusion of it all is weird.

Dunno what you're trying to say there. But it's okay. As long as you know what you're trying to say.

I don't really want to over think things here SBG.

Or is it that you're scared of the conclusions that might come from overthinking things?
Do you actually want to know me in any real sense, like my dream, hopes, fears, desires, interests, ect ect. Or are you trying to work out how to break me down just so I'll accept Jesus.

Because I am on a Christian forum, and everything here is God, God, God, God. Which I honestly think end's up deterring you, and the other Christian's here in getting to know each other for each other.

You know what I mean?

You know what I think about people like Joyce Meyer, and all Christian's.

If you all took the 10% you hold for your God, and you put it into scientific research rather than your churches.

We'd all be cured by now.

You're projecting onto me again.

I mean, of course I'm going to talk about what's important to me, what I've discovered or learned, what has helped me and what hasn't. Its going to come up in conversation, it just IS.

And really, you can be a bit strange. Its like going on a website for old car enthusiasts and then complaining about how all they ever want to do is talk about old cars.

I understand your anger at what happened to you and finding out about a lot of religious people being shams and being nothing like the person they claim to follow.

But if there is any wisdom or help in a certain book, take it point by point and don't refuse to see wisdom just because someone else you don't like recommends the book. If you find help or wisdom in anything, even a newspaper article, keep it. If another part of the article is atrocious and has no wisdom or help, discard it.

I didn't complain about Christian's gabbin about their God. Because it's a Christian forum, like I said. The point I was trying to get across is how this obsession with it is hindering a lot of people in getting to know other people in a fair manner.

I can help with that. Jennie, - likes to watch cute animal videos when she's feeling blue, hates long walks in the rain and thinks people who do are idiots. Thinks Keurig creates a cup of coffee with no soul and laments the fact that an entire generation doesn't even know what coffee's supposed to taste like.

So...you lamented not truly getting to know people so I let you know a little about myself, even what I like to do when I'm feeling low, which is actually a very private thing, and I let you see that I like creative humor and lighthearted jesting. The result was that you logged off. That went well...

And I was being lighthearted about the coffee, but I meant it. They don't know what coffee's supposed to taste like. How do I take my coffee? Seriously. Very seriously.
