Religion IS personal, and it never makes sense to those who don't believe in it. Thank you for the post.<BR/><BR/>-SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01188178631216050035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31777566.post-4524618207123414712007-04-16T11:35:00.000-04:002007-04-16T11:35:00.000-04:00Hi Beth,I'm a blogless lurker who ocassionaly chec...Hi Beth,<BR/>I'm a blogless lurker who ocassionaly checks in to see what you're knitting. When I read this post, I just had to come out. <BR/>I used to read and comment regularly on Joe's site, until one day, he took my innocent ignorance out of context and made me a representative for the "bad guys". He does create provacative forums, which, along with his knitting, I enjoyed. But if you read his rules page (or whatever it's called) he tells you flat out he may use your statements as he wishes. <BR/>Be careful if you are commenting at his site. You need to be thick skinned, and I'm not. I did speak up for myself, but only one of many, many commentors acknowledged me. That one person, at least, was kind enough to go back and read my original post, and did agree that my comments has been unkindly used. This all happened some time ago now. I just wanted you to know how thoughtless he can be. It hurt me so much that he did this to me, I hoped he would have some remorse, but he never commented, so I had to quit his site. Many months have passed, I still feel sad and betrayed. Sorry for whining. I'd rather be knitting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31777566.post-70909440677423387682007-04-16T11:13:00.000-04:002007-04-16T11:13:00.000-04:00Your post is SO well-written.

As you said, there is good and bad among every group.<BR/><BR/>I think you must be among the very good. :-) To be able to write about religion in such an open way...well, all I have to say is "Amen to that".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31777566.post-12422852034593630832007-04-15T10:49:00.000-04:002007-04-15T10:49:00.000-04:00Sorry that some people made what could have been a...Sorry that some people made what could have been a healthy discussion of religious beliefs into a personal attack. Because the internet can offer anonymonity that a face to face conversation cannot, it is easier to be "not nice". People might think those comments but they would never voice them if sitting next to you. Don't let it get to you if you can. Those that practice hate and intolerance are reaping a much harder life than yours even if they don't realize it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
