This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
wow, that was funny.
the god thing i posted yesterday and then i left & went out & i came on this morning just to peek at there were 66 replies. i started a new post because i don't want to push that post to the top again.
sorry, everybody who thinks i'm a godless heathen and i swear too much. it's true, i'm the spawn of satan.
(um, that was meant to be ... ironic, sarcastic).
just wanted to say sorry to all of the people who got so fired up by that. really.
i have a way of stirring up drama without meaning to. sometimes my tone is a little caustic but if you heard me in person you'd realize that i don't mean to sound mean or rude. it's just how i come off sometimes.
i am completely cool with what anyone and everyone believes. i have my own spiritual belief system that i adhere to quite deeply and i'd never say that people don't have a right to believe anything they want to believe in.
i just was commenting on the fact that certain people sometimes get a bit in-your-face about their beliefs.
i really apologize to the 66 or however many people that got all upset because i said we should stop talking about god.
god's good to talk about, but i just don't want to push my god on you, and don't want you pushing your god on me.
peace, everybody. hope you have a wonderful sunday.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
you've taken me way too seriously. i've just seen a ton of discussion threads where people are arguing about their beliefs, and i don't think the arguing is productive.
i don't think i've mentioned anything specific about my beliefs in this post, at all.
except that i believe that everyone has a right to their beliefs.
for god's sake (no pun intended), talk about whatever you want. there's no need to take everything so seriously that people post on this board...
just lighten up. all I was saying was that I think it's unproductive to get into these god vs. atheism debates.
i didn't even target christianity, but i noticed that a lot of the christians on the board took it personally. not sure why.
this was an apology, silly.
I think sometimes people are wearing there feelings on their shirt sleeves.
i know i have done the same at times.
i have a thin skin myself.
that's why i felt kind of bad that so many people were riled up about something i posted...
while i was out having a lovely saturday. go figure.
"i really apologize to the 66 or however many people that got all upset because i said we should stop talking about god.

When a person posts a discussion about God, they are not pushing it in your face. You have the CHOICE to read the post or not. If you don't want to read it, leave the post alone. But DON"T tell us not to post about God. We have just as much rite to free speech as you or any one else does. And if that means starting a topic about God... then so be it. Just avoid the discussion post. A lot of people find reasurance through discussing God. That is their form of therapy. Telling people to form a new forum doesn't help either. We have both believers and non believers as friends and don't want to be bouncing back and forth between different groups. So just chill out and take a pill if you need to. Ignore what you do not want to be involved in.
dude. calm down.
i do avoid the posts.
i've just noticed a lot of ARGUING about god lately.
i don't really see how that is comforting or helpful to anybody.
(again, no pun intended. I actually DO believe in God, believe it or not).
I made that post just out of frustration of seeing a certain argument-ridden post continually pushed to the top. arguing on DS is counter-productive, i've learned that the hard way.
i personally have never once jumped into somebody's Christian discussion topic and bashed it or tried to insult the people there.
I agree with the testy cat woman that people DO find spirituality therapeutic. I do too.
what I don't find therapeutic is arguing about religion.
But maybe we need to leave it at that. Share your ideas your heart and let go. All this personal attacking is just going in circles and causing harm. To people and the Board flow.
...your words again: "for gods sake (no pun intended), talk about anything you want".
You're confused.
You again: "i have a way of stirring up drama without meaning to."
Look at what you're saying please. Either you are right or you simply need attention.. because you know we'll reply.
You again: "i don't really see how that is comforting or helpful to anybody".. I don't see how our NOT talking about what we want to talk about is comforting or helpful.
so STFU
