Your faith has left you numb to the feelings of others.
^^^ That is your opinion and maybe the opinion of others too, but that doesn’t make it a fact.
God bless you always!!!

P.S. If I didn’t care about the feelings of other people, I wouldn’t have done a thing when they started asking me to pray for someone last night.
Then you need to think harder about what you say and when and where you say it. So far I think you’re still blaming other people for being offended.
I don’t generally like to do any armchair psychoanalysis since as a general rule it’s presumptuous, but since this is something I have some experience with, it might be worth airing it at least.
A big part of obsessive compulsive disorder is magical thinking. For example if you have a bad thought about someone you think that you have to do some ritual or say some prayer otherwise something bad will happen to them or to you or possibly both.
Having to recite a particular tag line over and over is another classic symptom. I used to have one I needed to say when leaving and if by some chance I forgot I would have to go back.
However generally people with OCD recognize that these actions are irrational, except that when combined with a fervent religious belief or possibly other comorbid conditions, that aspect of the illness might become obscured and hinder any attempts to seek treatment.
I am not blaming others for being offended. What I blame them for is how they responded to what I believe. Saying that you disagree and why is one thing, but what reason was there to pretty much jump on me about what I believe? None. Another question is has any good come from jumping on me about it?
God bless you always!!!

P.S. To me, it is not about what is said, where it is said, or when it is said. Its about how it is said.
VERY good! Now think long and hard about what you just said.
^^^ I don’t need to think long and hard because I know what I said there and I know how I meant what I said there. To me there wasn’t anything wrong with how I first shared my belief on where people who commit suicide go. Y’all just don’t like what my belief is no matter how it was shared and therefore I was jumped on. What y’all are so ticked off about is the fact that I didn’t just sit here and let y’all get away with jumping on me and that I continue to stand up for what I believe. Well here is something for y’all to think about, if y’all didn’t keep this matter on the front burner, I wouldn’t have a reason to keep re-solidifying this belief that I have.
God bless you always!!!
Holly
The topic was nowhere near a discussion of the fate of suicides in the afterlife.
^^^ I never meant for the chat to get off subject. All that I am saying is that things wouldn’t have gone as far as they have if y’all had not jumped on me. Y’all could have ignored what I said or addressed it in a more civil fashion, but you didn’t and that is why we continue to have this conversation. If y’all had been more respectful of my beliefs, this matter most definitely could have been over and done with a long time ago.
God bless you always!!!

P.S. I have to go to the grocery store now. I pray that you have a safe and wonderful rest of the day.
:dubious: Or you could have avoided the issue entirely by practicing the things you hear in church and take on faith.
Blaming others for your mistakes seems almost unChristian, or am I wrong in that assumption.
I think we need to change the motto of the SDMB from “Fighting ignorance” to “We have the fattest trolls on the Internet!”

Well, I wouldn’t want them tortured for all eternity. Not even if they killed a dog beforehand.
Oh but this is so much fun - watching you chase your theological tail and all. I’m personally enjoying it anyway.
"You’ve gotta respect everyone’s beliefs.” No, you don’t. That’s what gets us in trouble. Look, you have to acknowledge everyone’s beliefs, and then you have to reserve the right to go: “That is fucking stupid. Are you kidding me?” I acknowledge that you believe that, that’s great, but I’m not going to respect it. I have an uncle that believes he saw Sasquatch. We do not believe him, nor do we respect him!
Patton Oswalt, on people’s beliefs
But I did practice the things that I hear in church. Where do you think my belief of where people who take their life go came from?
God bless you always!!!
Holly
P.S. And another thing, I don’t look at sharing what I believe as a mistake.
Don’t you really look at sharing what you believe as a mistake?
^^^ No.
God bless you always!!!
Holly
Are you saying no just to be negative?
She’s not going to argue with you anymore until she’s prayed. 
I don’t think that sharing what you believe is a mistake because it is being honest and straight forward.
God bless you always!!!
