If you want to speak about me then speak using MY NAME and NOT as if I was some stranger not known here. I will take no offense if you address me on some point of disagreement. BUT I DO take great offense when you speak about me as if I did not exist which is just exactly what you have done here! I print my name clearly and precisely for all to see so that there can be no misunderstanding about where I stand and who I am in this world. I do not try to hide myself like some do behind some phony screen name because I do not fear any reprecussions from my participation in this forum.

When I come here I put all of my cards on the table face up so that there can be no doubts or guessing as to where I am comming from or where I intend to go in my discourse. Obviously I am not going to the same place that is your intended destiny. Nor would I wish to go to that place. I am not intending to take any unwilling soul with me to where ever I go and that place cannot be defined by you or any one else here. What ever POWER there is in the universe that gave me my ability to speak is not your place to define for me nor can you determine what my relationship is or will be with that "ONE" If you try to put your self between me and "THAT" you will find yourself in a very difficult position and I would not envy you in the least for your poor choice.

As I said, This forum is not a place for spreading your religion. if you want followers then start your own church but do not dump your theology on us. In doing so you are no better than the Muslims who you condemn. Your idea of Jesus in not my idea of who or what he was nor would I ever pray to him or in his name. To do so would be for me considered as blasphemy for such an act would be a violation of the most basic tennants of my religion. I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN nor will I ever be a Christian or Muslim for that matter. I do not hold with any anthromorphasizing belief about a diety. That has never been the way of my folk and it has never been my way.

Your religion has absolutely nothing to do with the Jewish Rabbi from Nazereth. As far as I am concerned it is little more than a Greco/Roman concoction of Mithraism and pagan mystery religions and it has absolutely nothing to do with me or any of my folk. It definately is not Jewish.

So PLEASE take it elsewhere
