Luckily, I learned early on that we cannot change others, no matter what we say or do. Any change has to be initiated by them.
But I am healthy enough to let others know what is acceptable or not according to my "whim at the moment."
Using my attitude first and foremost, I was able to confront a gang of drunken bikers who were setting off loud fireworks. My wife and I could not go to sleep and our two dogs were upset. After our confrontation, they stopped the celebration and went home after 10 minutes.
Was it my words and actions that changed their minds. I have no idea. But I like to think so.
It's a bit like "psychological aikido." It is the only martial art that deals with one's opponent without harming them. It's the closest thing I have found to "turning the other cheek." I also use nonviolent communication as developed by Marshal Rosenberg.
I am simply a violent and cruel person learning to be nonviolent and respectful towards others.
Aikido7 "aka, Bruce Lee7" took on a biker gang single-handedly. I have a new found respect for him now.
And you have free will.
To me you seem a bit averse to confronting your own contradictions or paying attention to the admonishions and teachings of Jesus.
Perhaps your best strategy should be to just withdraw. But please know that I understand the good intentions behind your behavior towards me.
We all do the best we can.
Intojoy, why don't you stop annoying yourself?
Makes sense. The marshall is violence oriented and is busy being a person who is so strong they deny their moral side and don't ask for much help from anyone else.I learned my communication as developed by Marshal Dillon.
Let's not take adult discussion seriously. Let's call each other names and wallow around in the sandbox we should have left years ago.Ah, this is either a try at reverse psychology or some more of that Hippy Voodoo.opcorn:
glorydaze, why not come out in the open and tell us the teachings of Jesus that you agree with and follow?
I have not yet seen that from you.
You seem perfectly willing to idolize a Jesus AS "born of a virgin," "Son of God," "Savior of the World," etc. but you don't seem like you are even interested in actually following his teachings.
Christians these days seem content to urge others to "believe, believe, believe" and yet not suffer the slightest urge to change their own behavior and actually follow what Jesus preached.
Whenever Jesus talks of the Kingdom of God with parables or lets loose with one of his pithy proverbs, you can be sure it is the authentic figure talking.
Whenever he refers to himself in exalted and elevated titles from the theology of the first century, someone else has put those words in his mouth after the crucifixion.
So, glorydaze, What Would Jesus Do?

And be sure to add that little "twist" of making fun of others.
Nope. I have no use for such behavior any longer.
But you already know that.
"Isn't that the deal, Mr. Dillon?" asks Chester.

I'm quite sure I have never sent videos, pictures or images to anyone. Stop making false claims about me, you have resorted to the very lowest that you could possibly go now.
Back so soon?

I wait in vain for you two to address the spiritual and biblical points in my comments.Let's not confuse what you're saying with adult discussion. Seriously.
If you are going to say something in the form of a judgement or a label, you need to be accountable for your claims. Show what "Hippie Voodoo" really is by providing a legitimate standard as to what it is and what it is not.Let's not falsely accuse others. It's your psychology I'm calling Hippie Voodoo.
I have never EVER said I think that "everything is some sort of an attack" on me. I challenge you to prove this silly assertion. If you can find any comment from me that claims this, then you need to show it.Yeah, why do you think everything is some sort of an attack on you? You are way too sensitive, as I've mentioned before.
I just offered a post that observed the fact that even after saying you would ignore me you continued to spew out your insults. I pointed out that if you really have to ignore me, you should do so instead of continuing to involve yourself in the conversation (such as it is). Now you appear to be acting like a child who can only deny what s/he is doing.I know you continue to engage me, so I can only assume you do have some use for whatever "behavior" you think I have. :chew:
But Jesus said "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven."Well, kiddo, He'd probably say, "Get behind me Satan".
