Vale, you couldn't be more wrong about my intentions in starting this thread.
I am not "hurt" by anyone's posts. I am not incapable of being rude, smart assed, ignorant, inconsiderate etc.
I'm sorry if someone hurt your feelings and turned you into a bitter, angry young man.
The odd thing is, why do you feel you have to interject your painful experiences here?
If I see a thread, for example, where someone wants to start a movement to be arrogant, rude, ignorant and aggressive, because they felt like it wasn't fair that their precious feelings were hurt, and they wanted to get some payback by gathering up like minded wounded lonely hearts - I would simply not post there.
Vale, why do you keep posting here, if you do not want to join with those of us who actually want to be the kind of people that Jesus Himself, tells us we should be?
If you truly believe being an angry, self righteous, young man is what Jesus truly wants, then go start a thread and see how many people want any part of it.
Your theory is that people will learn better if you are ignorant, rude and quick tempered.
That's like trying to teach your son/daughter how to drive by sitting beside them and freeking out at every single beginner's mistake they make.
That never works Vale.
If you want anyone to take you seriously, then you have to be respectful, and patient.
I have to wonder what your agenda truly is Vale.
Exactly what is your mission in continuing to post here?
If you believe I'm suddenly going to see the error of my ways, and listen to anything you have to say, then I can tell you it's a huge waste of time.
Try to remember Vale - no one is forcing you to join, or even agree. If you don't like the idea of being a calm, reasonable Christian, then start your own thread and see how many think the way you do.

I once started a thread about how the righteous men of God in the Bible were not "nice". Somehow I think it would be wasted here. It's actually kinda cute, the way immaturity can sometimes be seen as cute. I used to do that too, starting "butt hurt" threads whenever I got my feelings hurt. Finally I had enough people seize upon my immaturity and tell me to grow up and quit whining that I never did it again.
But boy threads like these bring back memories.....
Also, if your butt hurts, you should see a doctor, instead of posting about it. Just sayin.
