“…and also this is a Wendy’s.” That should have been my single response. Lol

Ghislaine is going to walk, isn’t she?

6/ The elder monk smiled.
“For also breaking the rule. I let that woman go two days ago on the river bank, but you’ve been carrying her non-stop for three days!”
You have to know when it’s time to just let it go.

5/ “You are right” the elder monk said. “Please brother, forgive me. Even though it was to help another, you are correct, I broke the rule.”
The junior monk nodded and began to enter the monastery.
“Wait” the elder said. “Aren’t you going to ask forgiveness now?”
“What for?” asked the junior.

4/ Finally, as they reached their destination the elder monk asked: “Brother, why are you so angry with me?”
The junior monk exploded: “You’re supposed to be my mentor! But you broke the rules! You not only spoke with a woman, you picked her up! And you haven’t even asked forgiveness!”

3/ The elder monk told her he’d carry her across on his back. The woman hopped on and he carried her, setting her down on the opposite bank. The junior monk followed. She thanked him and went on her way.
For 2 days, the monks walked in silence. But the elder monk sensed anger in his companion.

2/ An elder monk and a junior monk were walking together, under strict instructions to have no interaction with women while outside the monastery.
Coming to a river they found a woman standing on the bank worried about getting across.
There was no bridge.
“Can you help me?” the woman asked.

t’s happened a lot on Bluesky.
On X I was constantly attacked by right wing Christians. (You can’t be gay and a pastor!)
Here it’s the atheists.
I have to say in all fairness the atheists tend to be marginally more polite.

Some people do hoping to “achieve” that faith, and then don’t. Some have it to begin with and lose it - usually because of how badly they’re treated by other Christians.
But I think I’ve been pretty open about actually believing in God and taking Christianity seriously.

And, although Christians will deny it, atheism also shapes us.
After all, what is faith but a “choice to believe, evidence to the contrary”? All true faith has an element of atheism in it.

I am critical of Christianity not because I don’t believe in it but because I DO. Passionately.

I figure we all worship something. And even religious people aren’t always worshipping what / who they think they are.

Yep. Just had that happen on here.

I didn’t get defensive.
And I’m sorry I didn’t come with a single point you found logical or insightful.
Again, I would question who the arrogant one here is.
May you find peace.

And talking about it generally isn’t “imposing” it. Just as I don’t see a post from an atheist lambasting all religious belief as a personal attack that I have to address.

So yes. Let’s leave it there.

Im absolutely bewildered by someone who follows a priest, argues passionately with him that belief in god is nonsensical and all religious people are arrogant, then when the priest responds with disagreement you get angry that he isn’t being “logical” and calling him defensive.

And don’t add hypocrisy to your attacks by asking for a god you don’t believe in to favour me.
That just seems petty and silly.
