Look at the thread Just Pray... I didn't mind the just pray idea, I thought it was funny and might be helpful for many people... I didn't like the idea that a user typed Jesus Christ is Our Savior because for me, that is certainly not true... I didn't want to get into a heated conversation with that user but please consider that talking about a savior or a deity on a message board might end up badly... At least save those comment for Religion/Spirituality, in the lounge... |

No problem, not a huge deal I'll let one of the moderators address the issue however. |

There is nothing preventing someone from expressing their beliefs here, but any debate or discrepancy pertaining to said beliefs should remain in the proper forums or within PMs as Exobyte said. As far as this thread goes, an idea was presented, so the responses should consist of results and ways to even improve upon the method (if possible), rather than critique on one "religious" belief or another, in this case. |

"If there was one thing the lucid dreaming ninja writer could not stand, it was used car salesmen."
I'm keeping an eye on that thread and I've PM'd the person who wrote that asking him to keep faith general. For the time being it seems to be back to talking about effect on lucid dreams. If it degenerates into a religious discussion again then I'll lock it again. |

The prayer approach to lucid dreaming is also addressed in LaBerge's ETWOLD, in a completely non-denominational and non-sectarian way. |

I didn't read that thread but, give me a break. Are you really that sensitive that you're "offended" because some one believes in Jesus Christ as a savior. Seriously, how much more lame can you get? Does the whole world have to cave in to people that get their panties all in a knot because some one is man (or woman) enough to express a belief in something GOOD? |

After that post, I don't think you have the right to complain to him about "getting his panties in a knot." |

I'm sorry but there is just no way around this. When you come to a forum, there's always SOMETHING that is going to offend SOMEBODY. I'm sorry you're offended because somebody said the word "our". If you are that easily offended, it's best if you avoid these types of threads completely. Everyone needs to be accepting of each others beliefs... unless you are posting in the R/S forum, that is |
|
I went to that thread so that I could reason with the user about how not everyone believes in the same thing... I created this thread so that the Mods could try and fix this... Now people are making it seem like I'm easily offended... You could say "NightLife, you're going to hell" (I wouldn't be offended) "NightLife, your stupid" (I wouldn't be offended) or "NightLife, nobody likes you" and I wouldn't be offended at all... It's when a user says that Jesus Christ is my savior??? Savior from what... Overall I'd say that my life is going great... Yes, everyone needs to be accepting of each other beliefs... *Unless that person says that I have a savior. (I still have no ______ idea what a savior is and why anyone would need one) I feel like no one is going to understand me because you're all caught up in your beliefs... Okay, and example... Terrorist would say to you guys "Okay, if you sacrifice yourself to kill others, then you're going to heaven with I don't know how many virgins" If a terrorist told you that, you would argue the point or just laugh in his face... I didn't want to laugh in the face of that user because I think that it's wrong to mock someone's beliefs... So I argued that he shouldn't be saying that on a forum because it might become offensive to some users... By the way, back to that user who said that I shouldn't get my pants up in a knot or something... I don't get angry at this stuff, I just like to prove my point... As I was creating this thread, I can honestly tell you that I wasn't wearing any pants... So don't think that this thread and my argument was out of anger... |

I don't think you are understanding my point. ANYTHING that is posted could be construed as offensive to ANYONE at any given time. What if someone says they just bought a new Honda? But I hate Hondas and only think people should buy American cars - Should I get all offended and start a thread about not letting people talk about their foreign cars because it could be offensive to some people? No because this is a public forum and people have the right to express their opinions. Do you see what I am getting at here? (btw, the car thing was just an example analogy for anyone who will offended that I'm offended by foreign cars ) |
|
Oh, I get it now... Sorry... I just thought that most people would be even more offended by discussions dealing with religion... Considering that religion is serious business to many people... Anyways, I'll stop now because I don't want to get even more on your bad side... I'm actually a fun loving person... Hehe... |

What if you say hello? |
