Huzzah for dire monotony. Threads in this forum are so droll and predictable it's not even funny any more.
Slander, politics, one non sequitur after another, hyperbole, propaganda, assumption, accusation, self-justification, emotion, dogma, slogans, disapprobation, stereotype, et al., all rolled up into a great big headache-inducing heap of skata (if you'll pardon my Greek).
Cui bono? -- Whom does it benefit?
Some insist they need to educate people in what is right, some feel the need to stand up and shout about injustice, some seek answers, some seek very specific answers, some just want a fight...it all eventually dissolves into the eternal ping-pong game from hell.
Personally? "To sharpen a point of view, hone it against many others."
So, frankly, I don't need to hear that "conservatives/fundies are all the same", or that "xyz is typical liberal reasoning". I don't need to see another Prop8 video, or pathetically sensationalized media headlines from what is laughingly called the "news". I don't need more references to mythological agendas, nor pseudo-science.
Seeing as this is now (for better or for worse) a "Christian-only" section, let's accept and approach each other as siblings in Christ. (As a brief aside, I dislike the supercilious labelling me an oxymoron).
Incidentally, this is a message board forum. Not a conversation. Do not cut up my posts in order to address specific parts out of context. My writings aren't the bible.
