Anti-Christian has negative connotations to me. It suggests I'm against anyone with beliefs such as your own, which isn't the case. It has also been associated with the term "trolling," which has a negative meaning. A very "careful" way of calling me negative things.

Believe it or not, I'd much prefer the whole live and let live, agree to disagree thing that you mentioned. I simply don't take kindly to "delicate" name-calling.

Zach, the mods try to step in as needed but we also need to keep in mind that this site exists for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome, which by definition involves interpersonal issues. For some of us, AS manifests itself in a very passive, conciliatory personality. However the majority of us have some level of difficulty in applying the old adage "picture yourself in his shoes." (Even once we get over the literal interpretation. :wink: ) Our priority is to function as a support site. Having a certain standard of behavior is also important, so that respectful members can enjoy and make use of the forums, but 100% flawless behavior is an impossible goal for a site of this nature.

When possible, we redirect or work with posters who have made insulting comments, rather than booting them out. Sometimes members who make a habit of being rude and who refuse to modify their behavior must be banned, but we prefer to give them the chance to stay.

Misunderstandings and heated tempers are bound to arise here. The best we can do is to be patient with those who can benefit from our patience and not sink to the same level if we can avoid it. Use all the self-control at your disposal and be a good example. If you see situations that require intervention, please send a PM to a moderator.

Yup, patience is the best thing. Also, learning from your mistakes is also a very handy tool. If someone gets upset about it, learn and make the post less likely to attract abuse and the like.

However, some people may be too stuck-up to be willing to learn. I like to call it burning your hand on the heater, yelling at it for burning you, and then touching the heater again (repeat forever).

Nah. You know how they say "never discuss religion or politics"? That forum could be made a prime example. I dunno whether to call it a venomous swamp or a burning inferno or a gory battlefield. I'll call it....a venomous gory inferno. Yeah, I do pick the best names. [/irony]

Everything you think is wrong. You are stupid and not worth my time to explain the real truth to you.

Having any values is delusional. You are a moron and a F++ktard.


And you responded, be deaf to their words. They have nothing to say on the subject.

They can only hiss, spit venom, and they seek to produce anger to feed on.

The subject was Demonology. It is an old subject.

Some do think they are posessed. I have no faith in science, or psycobabbling pill priests.

Understanding deamons leads to control over them. Some are good, some are not so good.

I will give the Muses a pass. They have brought much joy to earth, comfort in our journey.

Every culture through time has known of the bearers of good news,

and of the evil who have only the power to destroy.

Religion is the Homeland Security of Demonology, it sees all as evil.

It loses the power to deal with real danger. It siezes nail clippers and bottled liquids.

I was once a believer in Science. It stops. It gives the age of the Universe, and that there was nothing before. The latest is, it was Created in 1/12,000 of a second, and about it's present size. That is much faster than the speed of light, the natural speed limit. So it was Supernatural.

Outside the Universe is still cold and endless nothing forever.

10,000,000,000 years later, DNA was created. When conditions were right for life, life appeared. One DNA, all life is one. 99.9% DNA is dead. 100% or nothing. DNA was Created 5,000,000,000 years ago, a Second Creation in a Second Universe, the first one had to blow up to scatter the matter, the building blocks of DNA, and a place where life could exist. As soon as it existed, it was seeded.

The Universe is constant, same matter, energy, with a few black holes to ponder, but mostly like our neighborhood. It would be logical to think, all got the same DNA. We have lots of neighbors.

I broke with Science over Creation. It just happened, it means nothing. They say the same of DNA.

I broke with Religion over their human view of Creation. God Created Man as the higest perfection.

Religion is Anthropomorphic. Man centered.

Both ignore what they can see, and know. Life exists in the Universe. They did not, could not, Create themselves. Religion lost it's spirit, science never found it's spirit.

I am a speck of awareness in a web of life. Life was Created. I will hold to that oneness.

There is another life beyond flesh, and some have never known flesh.

Evil does exist. I have studied it. Humans do become posessed.

Some can learn to protect themselves, some can purge themselves, and some need an outside force to drive out the evil spirit that has taken up residence.

Most are of the Minor Demonia, Imps are the worst, and the most easy to deal with. Exposed they will be cast out. The exorcists here are called Mods, and they cast them back into the pit from which they came, the Internet, but cannot destroy them. It is the same everywhere.

A few of the Major have turned dark, and hope you never meet the person they posess. It takes a cage or death to stop them. Caged, magic happens, evil leaves, they become a mortal, they change. They are weak and passive. They are old, ugly, dumb, and smell bad, and you have to wonder how they got fifty young women to get in their junker car, and ride to the place of their death. They show no marks of being tied, there is no blood in the car, the door handles worked.

Someone pulled into the parking lot of a convience store, she got in, and rode thirty miles to her death without a fight.

I have met several. Later when on trial, they had become a person. I know the signs.

The person can be destroyed, but not the evil. It will do what it does when they are caged, just leave and find another. They can only do harm if they have a human body to use.

The war will never end.

The best we can do is teach people that they exist, how they work, and how to protect yourself.

Humans are stronger, they can overpower evil.

I have no fight with most Deamons, just with evil.

As an antisocial writer I spend a lot of time with my Muse.
