[QUOTE="Eudaimonist, post: 72053582, member: 6065"] My post was mainly about how we [B]aren't[/B] all that different, and that we may have some common ground. Does that bother you? Or was it the differences I had mentioned that you're reacting to? I'm not sure that I understand your reaction. Perhaps you can spell out those ways you think that we are similar, and those ways you think that we are different. Wow, those are your words, not mine. I didn't say anything about you being "deluded" or an "idiot". I have no such impression of you. My point is that I [B]don't[/B] claim to have a perfect life and live in perfect peace and bliss, but still my life is worthwhile. You mention peace below. Perhaps I should mention here that I tend to associate peace with bliss. If you don't, perhaps you've misunderstood me. Okay, maybe I missed the posts where you had mentioned that, because your sales pitch for Christianity comes across as glowing, and promising frequent miracles. I am not spared those life difficulties either, but I also have the strength to deal with what I must. I understand that you believe that. I think that you are in error. That's not a personal attack, but simply my honest view of things. You are free to disagree with me, just as I am with you. Do you happen to remember when you wrote this: "As a christian i am not spared at all from the realities and difficulties of life"? And now you are talking about experiencing "a peace like no other". Compare those two statements. Can you understand why I would say that I don't walk around in a perfect state of bliss? Can you understand what it is that you are promising in your sales pitch that would make me be careful not to oversell my experiences? All I ask is that you are fair with me. Don't treat me like the bad guy when you are promising some extraordinary ability to deal with the hardships of life. [I]eudaimonia[/I], Mark [/QUOTE]
