In this case, none of the posts were deleted because the entire scenario played out overnight and there were 2-3 pages of discussion, and I think nobody had a spare hour yesterday morning to go through it and delete offending posts and responses.

I do want to make clear that nobody gets banned for saying Jesus is Lord. Calling other members satanic is a problem though

So basically if you can't hold a regular conversation with a Christian, there's a good chance they are hoping to push one of your buttons. If they belong to a church you can be sure their congregation is reading this thread right now and praying for us.

Hi guys.
I have to admit, I think there is some purposefulness in their attracting 'persecution,' and as far as the forum here, they truly believe they get banned for trying to tell people about Jesus.

I have this message for the guy who said Jesus is the Lord.

"Evil spirit""
Know not your life is the enslavement of strong Ego mind,
Know not who you are.
You generate and radiate strong dark emotions from strong judgments with ego winning life.
You are always afraid of pollution, the evil spirits and look for the things to keep clean and safe.
Worry not what comes into you, Worry what comes out from your mind.
Pollution is what you make with strong judgments in a lost ego world.
Do not fear the Evil spirit, Know you are the Evil spirit self."

I posted this message to one of Christian forum and got banned.

Freelife.

I'm pro everything, I don't believe in saying "Jesus is lord, Allah is squat, etc" Who are any of us to make these judgments to begin with?

Open Mind is the easiest way to live in this world.
That means only civilised people can do that with tolerance.

It is only natural that Non-Christians would label any kind of Jesus praising as favoritism, as I believe that praising Jesus as the only "son of God" is truly favoritism when we take into consideration the various human notions of "God" re-incarnate such as Buddha, Muhammad, Ganesha, etc. I have been baptized as Episcopalian, which in essence means that I must accept Jesus as the "only" son of God, and I did. However, they also preach that we are all sons and daughters of God, and that we are all "Saints" because we are all here on earth to do God's bidding and do God's good work. I do believe that is the case, however, I fail to see the distinction between Jesus, the saints, and me in that scenario which actually pleases me. If this didn't pleas me, I don't think I would have joined the brood. We all have the potential to do as Jesus, the saints, or any of the "Pagan" Gods have done and we should live up to this potential and we will know why as we approach a dying age.
