Janet, it immediately followed another thread which made reference to religion (gay marriage thread) , that is why there is a connection as to who it was aimed at.

lol Susan :-D :-D

OP is used on another site I use to mean opening post, or opening poster if referring to the person who started the thread.

Having read the original post several times I cannot connect why anyone would think it was directed at them. It seems a perfectly reasonable thought/post-jl

I believe there is a "greater power" than us.

I also believe religions were made up to keep the "peasants" in line.

I'm pagan.

And that doesn't mean I worship the devil.

I don't think I have to have respect for other people's beliefs. What if they are wrong? I also thought that your relationship with your God was a private matter.

Well.....who says you don't learn anything on here?

I have read all the thread, chewed over the content with much deliberation, coming away much enlightened and quivering with awe at the in depth knowledge of other members....You see,I too thought OP meant 'other' person :-D

In all fairness as soon as I saw this thread it was obvious who it was aimed at.

FGS this is an old old argument ressurected from a few years ago.

I for one, will never get wound up about religion on here again. I will have my beliefs in private & thats where they will stay. If someone feels the need to mock, then if it makes them feel good then I let them. Then turn off or browse the net.

Life's too short .
