Better than Cops!?
Better than Cops? Heck, I was thinking better than Jerry Springer. It's kind of like an accident that you know you shouldn't watch but you just can't tear yourself away. Such drama!

flagging
Hi Cheryl,

I know you said, "if you want to argue the above, then PM me...", and I am NOT going to start posting multiple responses like I did when all this came up a month ago (if there's any more to be said about it after this posting of mine, I will do it via PRIVATE message), BUT... I don't think it's fair that you just had your long say in this post and then tell anyone else to just PM you about it, when you're the one who actually flagged Diane's message, which is why you know the CSN staff then talked to her. (I wouldn't be surprised if my post here now gets flagged and removed too), but hopefully not.

After all that happened before, WHY did you feel the need to flag it and get all this stirred up again??

No, the logo on the top where it says American Cancer Society does not say it belongs to any particular religion, belief system, etc., but as Ron said and as you agreed with him in your first line that "whatever gets you through is a good thing", then why are so offended by the fact that many people "get through" by their faith and sharing it with others? I believe it's my mission in life to share with others what I believe God has done for me. I am not proselytizing my faith here, I'm not going about explaining to others how to become a Christian, but to say "I'm praying for you" or even to quote Bible verses that may be truly comforting to others, I don't understand how that's a problem for someone who doesn't believe in the same way. You and a few others have talked often times about "sending healing energies" and other such things, which is not something I personally believe in. No one has ever mentioned that before (I don't think, anyhow) as being offensive or not being appropriate because we know that other people have a right to express what they think and believe. So many talk about tolerance, which I think can be a good thing. However, it seems that "tolerance" in today's world is for everyone and everything except Christians. I wouldn't dream of flagging someone's post as offensive because they talk about positive vibes or healing energies- they have the right to do that and it doesn't offend me. Please, on the other side, let it go. It does seem that more people here talk about God, praying, etc. and so many have expressed that people praying for them or quoting Bible verses is not a problem for them and they'd be upset to think that it couldn't be done or talked about anymore.

Okay, I'm done with this issue, so far as publicly going on the board about it- if anyone cares to comment on this subject anymore to me, then I will respond to private messages. I know I just posted recently saying I wouldn't be posting as often anymore, but I couldn't stop myself from this one- so sorry. I'll still be around off and on.

Take care,
Lisa

CSN was aware a long time ago
That Diane was out of line with her posts. She didn't need to be flagged. Right above her post where she told people they deserve to be in hell, there was a warning about giving out medical advice to someone.

THIS WHOLE THING WAS ABOUT BEING TOLD
WE DESERVE HELL IF WE DIDN'T AGREE WITH HIM.
DON'T YOU FOLKS GET IT???

THAT'S IT, NOT ABOUT IF YOU COULD SAY GOD OR PRAY OR ANYTHING.

CHRIST, I NEVER MET A BIGGER BUNCH OF MIND NUMB PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT JUST GO TO HELL.

HOW DO YOU FEEL???

Just because we have colon cancer doesn't mean we have to act like A$$HOLES.

La ilaha il-Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasulullah

English translation of this Arabic phrase is:

There is no God except Allah;
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

I am a Christian and have a very strong faith. I also think it is wonderful to not agree with me. I respect other religions and those without faith in a higher being. I love having debates about those belief systems because it makes me think and grow. It reminds me of what the word "faith" really means. This is NOT the place for that. That is not to say you can't say "God Bless You" or "I'm praying for you", but this is not a religious forum. I frequent one forum where they consistantly say they will 'swing chickens' for you instead of prayers. As a Christian, that is offensive to me but the PERSON is NOT! I have NEVER mentioned that I'm offended, it has never kept me from participating there or helping and befriending people there. Because I am a Christian. That is what I was taught to do. It is what MY Lord teaches.

I did not comment when this all started. All those many threads and I remained silent. (Shocking, but true...LOL) To start this again is foolish. No one has been attacked and this "goodbye cruel forum" stuff is juvenile. Anyone that doesn't want to be here for any reason doesn't have to be and they don't have to start a new, inflammatory thread to do that. We don't need more rules and to be monitored like children unless we continue to behave like children.

Not being a Christian doesn't mean seeing a bible verse should elicit rude (or any) comments and being a Christian doesn't mean you get special privlidges. Are we all really that thin skinned? I'm much more offended by canzer. Can't we get angry at that instead?

Treat each other with respect even if we disagree? Sigh....

Beliefs
I couldn't have said it better myself!!!!! I to am a christian, but like a good discussion about any topic, polictics, religion,economics,cancer, treatment, this is after all a free
nation at least till we get done selling all our banks and industry to China! Let's just agree to disagree on many topics, but have love and provide strength for one another. Praying for us all!!!

My joke: a little comic relief anyone?
your post reminds me of a joke I made up years ago on here. It goes like this:


Why are rectal cancer patients all so nice?

Because there isn't an @$$#0le among them!


Enjoy! Life is good y'all.

peace, emily

On whose say-so?
Sweetie, I don't care if you are a Christian, a Buddhist or pray to the great rat god! This is a cancer board. Personally, I am a Christian, but I respect the right of others to believe as they will. WE ARE AMERICANS! Don't leave like Buzzard. If there are petty people out there who just can't tolerate your faith, let THEM leave.....

Hugs,
Kirsten
