I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity

It isn’t universally punishable, and where it is, not always by death.

Plus Muslims aren’t expected like Christians to martyr themselves before renouncing their God, Shia will in fact straight up lie about it and feel completely at peace about doing so. Most Muslim scholars are opposed to the legitimacy of false conversions under duress, to or from Islam these days.

I was in Iraq too. I assure you, Muslims are for the most part quite reasonable and human, you just have some really shitty strains of thought mixing philosophy with anachronisms. Koran was all over the place in being peace or jihading, and it needs to be remembered Islam at Muhammad’s death was very small, nowhere the size of modern Saudi Arabia. He really didn’t systematize the concept before he died, so Jihad us treated differently by different groups, just like war is by Christians. Not all Christians fight the same, and we have some very nasty groups out there claiming to be Christian.

It would be a better approach instead of cruising all muslims, which ist exactly Christian- Christ advocated turning the other cheek, and was open to interpersonal communication and forgiveness, is try to make a reasonable effort to respect the humanity of all people and not write them off as past being redeemed. Christians didn’t walk around rejecteding the validity of people to live who were not christians in ancient times, we didn’t plot to kill everyone off, in absolute rejection, was the other way around. We embraced them when they struck out at us.

I recommend a wiser balance, keeping the love and compassion of the old way, and keeping out military primed and ready in case they try something, and by “they” I mean anyone. Muslims don’t have a monopoly on Anti-Christian violence. We should also oppose violence on others as fanatically as when it is against ourselves if it happens before us, and as a country, continue to work to reduce the international incident.

lol
Despite the fact that you said you didn’t really miss me, perhaps you did :stuck_out_tongue: in order to have seen “me” in this Destiny person.
Do I even write like that? No!

I’m not a christian and I don’t believe in Jesus.

I know, one of the many reasons we could never be.

Destiny

,

But some religious beliefs are silly and how those beliefs influence us is also silly – and tragic.

True though the right kind of silliness can be a good thing at times.

We all need something to stand in awe of.

:-({|=

Aw shucks!!!
Just how many reasons, are there, Steve?

What name are you referring to meaning “Stout Warrior” Ferguson? Just curious.

BTW, you never told me what you thought my psychological map is - insofar as intuitive, thinking feeling…et cetera goes…
I’m so hungry to learn about my self.

42

Terra Infirma

42? lol Well, then, a snowball would have a better chance in hell. Who knows? There may have been even more.
But even a 5 might have made something as meaningless as Adams’ 42.

Terra Infirma ~~ it’s a good thing to remember that “this” is where we all stand whether or not we choose to believe it. Life happens when we least expect it. You’ve experienced this.
That’s not being negative either - just realistic.
Realizing “this” actually can place us on firmer ground or prepare us for that terra infirma when it comes.

But that is not what I was looking for from you.

What’s your perspective

I just took the below test…

humanmetrics.com/hr/jtypesresult.aspx

and the below is what came about…

INFP
Introvert(16%) iNtuitive(19%) Feeling(6%) Perceiving(12%)
You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (16%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (19%)
You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (6%)
You have slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (12%)

I don’t really think that is an accurate assessment of me.
For certain questions, I had to put “uncertain” because it was difficult to honestly come up with a real answer.
lol Maybe that’s why my intuition and perception were so low.

Is this where everyone is supposed to act astounded?

Don’t you wanna show off your Typing skills and type Arc… you know how accurate you always are :wink:

I told her a long time ago no. I nailed you 100% correct, though.

This E is killing me… I better get out of it and slip into something more comfortable :wink:

You didn’t type someone that asked to be typed, in favour of someone that didn’t ask to be…

Arc… I think A Shieldmaiden can type, but I’m not sure to what extent.

You needed to be typed, exactly in the opposite sense of why she shouldn’t be. You both wanted to be recognized in flattering ways, wasn’t healthy for either in relation to me or yourselves to play along as you would have it.

I didn’t realise I needed a good typing (snigger)

I guess professional typing and an unchanging MBTI score are wrong, and as far as the issue is concerned for me… I will be leaving it there.

I don’t think that Arc is looking for a flattering result, but merely for a professional eye to be cast over her score for some kind of validation of it.

No you’re not. NOOOOOOO! DON"T DO IT!

No, not at all. Didn’t I say that the results of that test isn’t me at all?
How could you have possibly gleaned THAT from what I said?
I’m going to take the test one or two more times to see what develops ~~ just out of curiosity.
As I said, I had put more than a few "uncertains in there.
Maybe that time wasn’t the most appropriate one to take the test.
We’ll see.

Have a Nice Year’s Eve and Day - also, have a nice rest of your life, Steve.
Did I leave anything out? :evilfun:

I just took that test yesterday…

Filled it out in about 3 minutes.

No hesitation, no regretted answers.

I know myself well though.

So, what were the results?

Destiny,

If english is your primary language, go back to school and shoot your teacher. If it isn’t; shoot your teacher, then go back to school.
