I do have a life. My calling is exposing hypocrisy. Truth is a very spiritual concept and it is important to me. So when I see lies, especially lies cloaked in the veil of religion, I am not shy to expose them. I do apologize if this made you uncomfortable, fair Rapunzel. It is clear that you view religion as lies in toto so it stands to reason that whatever she or anyone says concerning religion is a cloaked lie and your truth is not everyone's truth so what you in fact are doing is exposing your own hypocrisy or perhaps intolerance would be a better fit? now Star, we went over this yesterday. I honestly don't care what anyone else believes. My own beliefs are not strong enough to try to force them onto anyone else. I respect your right to believe what you do, and I would fight for that too. What I defend is the right to express agreement or lack thereof without fear of being attacked. I attacked no one in this thread. I have been repeatedly attacked and only kept on trying to explain myself. I never said religion was lies because I don't believe that. It merely does not speak to me as it does to others. That is all well and good. You strike me as being straightforward - a bit too straightforward!! In any case, I don't feel like I am being blindsided by someone with a hidden agenda when I interact with you. For example, some other people like to cloak themselves in an aura of Godly goodness, when inside, they are rotten. They spew venom and dress it with bright emoticons. I can't just pretend I don't see it, sorry. We are all a work in progress. My faith is very strong but I try to live my life without being disrespectful of other's beliefs. the operative word being "try". I fall short on a regular basis and all I can do is try. It is obvious that you and Rapunzel are at odds. It appears that you are each feeling a bit irritated with the other. Again, we are all imperfect except for JB. By her own admission. Maybe if you each respect that each is as imperfect as the other you will find that you are two fine individuals that can become great friends despite your religious views? I disagree with much of what is posted here but I enjoy learning from others and I REALLY enjoy the interaction. Do you understand that I never took isssue with her beliefs? I am so tired of being accused of that. I took issue with her actions. I didn't like the way she treated me or my friends. She will never admit she did these things, much less apologize. So I buzz around like the annoying gnat that I am.

Redsoxfan, you seem like a good Christian woman. Please tell me what it is that I have said that has made you speak to me so rudely? Please, I would like to know. I just do not like how you disrespected Vanessa! I think and know, she is a nice person! Please don't!! Don't be disrespectful here!! Have you read the things that she has said to me here in this post? I have not come close to the level of disrespect that she has bestowed upon me.

A wise creature in star wars once said: "There is no try, there is only do or do not." I fall short on a regular basis and all I can do is try. It is obvious that you and Rapunzel are at odds.

I don't remember every saying that I was perfect, I try to hide that fact from people as it makes them feel inferior. Just kidding of course. I would tell you all about my faults and imperfections, but since I divorced my last husband, I forgot what they were. (He used to constantly remind me of them.) JB

Let me ask a question - If she slaps my face and I take her to task for slapping my face, are you all going to accuse me of attacking her beliefs? Because that is what is happening here.

I think the two of you should just hug each other. Seductively...... Camcorder is running. Vanessa is a very nice person just as you are. You will one day be friends. Count on it.

I know you are pulling our collective leg when you claim to be perfect. I should have used more emoticons to back my post. There.

What I think I am saying is "I respect your beliefs" but apparently what is coming out is "You are a nincompoop and you have it all wrong". I need to fix this glitch.

I find it difficult to display body language through text. I end up explaining what I am trying to say many times when saying it once in person would suffice.
