How many Lemons do you have to suck on to get that Pious Face?

"Gesh hates righteous people who love God because of her own surpressed anger and failed belief system

I completely understand and will continue to try and help her the best I can even after she tried insulting me

It's what sets us believers apart from atheists"- MAYBE

this not only sounds like an insult, but also sounds like you have a superiority complex. now she did call you a troll, but what happened to "turn the other cheek"?

please provide the proper context sir... in reply to this woman calling me a troll for not accepting her belief system as absolute truth I said she "sounds like an angry and bitter woman" this is not an insult but merely an observation based on that wrong and out of order comment she made to me which you seem to NOT have a problem with... a bit hypocritical, no?

I did turn the other cheek and did not respond to her crude comment with an equally crude comment but rather an observation of her behavioral pattern

much like it is not an insult for a mental health profesional to diagnose a person as being bi-polar if that person truly is

the troll comment is referring to your behaviour on this forum, I believe, (somebody please correct me if I am wrong)

I don't consider it turning the other cheek..... purely subjective

Frankly I think your excuse is a cop out... behavioural pattern indeed.

It's like saying "I think somebody is an idiot" and then saying it is only it is my belief.

is that how one gains acceptance around here? surpressing the opinions of others by labeling them a troll when they have a different idea?

I guess all great inventors, explorers and even scientists are trolls then.. so I'm in good company

difference is: when you call someone an idiot you are directly calling into question their intelligence level... I said gesh "sounds" like an angry woman based on such a derogatory and baseless comment she made about me

perhaps you need to re-read the thread?

one gains acceptance by discussing opinions ..... not stating them. When somebody asks a question, just don't say the answer's obvious or avoid answering all together
