And any Atheist on here is more than welcome to do exactly that. I would never oppose them. And I would certainly never question their right to post it.
My faith is not threatened by the beliefs (or non-beliefs) of others. If there's a post on Atheism that I don't want to read, I simply won't click on it.

I know this statement is from several days ago, but it just caught my attention. I have no idea on what you base this assumption.
I don't know who the people are that you'd expect to be so outraged by such a post, but I certainly would not be one. Admittedly, I probably wouldn't read your Atheist thread since it wouldn't interest me, and I don't bother clicking threads that wouldn't interest me, but there would be no "$#$%" flying because of it.

And I actually would read your thread on Judaism. So, feel free to crank out either or both.

I know this statement is from several days ago, but it just caught my attention. I have no idea on what you base this assumption.So, do you think if an athiest decided to spread the word that there is no such thing as God all over television stations nationwide, it would be accepted?
I don't know who the people are that you'd expect to be so outraged by such a post, but I certainly would not be one. I agree that you would be open to other people posting their beliefs, and for that I commend you. But again, you're spinning wheels here. The discussion has not be about whether or not its ok to express your belief, its about pushing your belief on others. Is this clear...at all???? Admittedly, I probably wouldn't read your Atheist thread since it wouldn't interest me, and I don't bother clicking threads that wouldn't interest me, but there would be no "$#$%" flying because of it.

And I actually would read your thread on Judaism. So, feel free to crank out either or both.

If you're passionate about faith. (and I assume you are since you've been chiming in here, why would Judiaism interest you, but not creationism, or atheism? Is it because these beliefs are beneath you? Just a question. Im not trying to poke the bee's nest here. I just would like to know why one religious idea holds more water than another does for you. Anyway, I do appreciate your last post!~

Here I've been inadvertently echoing a statement Snuka already made on the very first page. Their opting not to post about theirs, by no means diminishes your right to post about yours.

I would think you'd actually prefer that it be "in the title," so that you won't accidentally click it and read it. It stands to reason that you'd be more upset if it weren't labeled, allowing you to click it unawares. With it being in the title, you're fully empowered to simply ignore it. And if you simply find the title "Meditating on God's Word" inherently offensive, I don't think that's Snuka's responsibility.

As far as it being "every week," I simply see no evidence thereof. The most recent Biblical message I see from Snuka was posted on January 1st. He's posted other "quotes," but I didn't see any that were Biblical. I saw an Agatha Christie, as well as 2 from Dr. King. So, I'm not seeing these weekly Christian messages you mentioned, unless I overlooked them, or they were from someone other than Snuka.

And even if he were posting them weekly, I'm not aware of that violating the Terms of Service of the messageboard. If it is a violation, the moderator obviously has every right to delete or ban such posting. But if it's not a violation, then Snuka has every right to keep posting. You can obviously continue to express your disapproval, if that's what you're into, since freedom of expression works both ways. But the irony is that you've helped a thread that offended you continue to live on 2 weeks past its origination.

activated,

I answered your questions, you just didn't like the answers. I can't do anything about that. I'd say that you don't have the "mental capacity" and/or spiritual capacity to understand what I said.

---------------

For anyone that was offended by this post, I didn't make you click on this post. This post was clearly labeled and you had a choice to read it or not to read it. Some of you still choose to continue to read it. My goodness, I ignore so much stuff on here that doesn't interest me and I don't complain because people post different things on here. People can post whatever they want in the "Off Topic..." section. You're really trying to censor me because you're not comfortable with God. As people in the entertainment field, you should object to censorship.

I conclude that although you're debating against me, the spiritual part of you thirsts and longs for God. You're looking and searching for answers. Even though you feel and think that you're fighting against me, you're really looking for answers from the Lord Jesus Christ. The day may come when you have an encounter with the Lord God Almighty and you'll remember this little post on BackStage.com that caused such a fuss.

emmyaward4,

You said, "he posts ( I mean PREACHES) very often, it's offensive, i have to constantly be reminded that i am not as good as he is."

I really don't "preach" on here. I have put some inspirational quotes on here. Every now and then I'll put something on here of a spiritual nature that blesses, inspires and encourages me and because I choose to share that with others so I'll sometimes post those things on here.

If you're offended then don't read it! No one is making you read it! You are choosing to read it! You're creating your own problem and offense by reading it. Do you read every single post on every board on BackStage.com? What you claim is so offensive to you is a blessing to somebody else. Why are you trying to block someone else's blessing?

I never said that I was that good. I never claimed to be that good. I never said that you were bad. I'm a sinner saved by God's grace, love, mercy and favor!

You said about the Lord God Almighty, "There is no such thing!" The time will come when you'll find out for sure if you're right or wrong about that.

You are helping this post by keeping this conversation going, alive and at the top of this board by responding. Thanks!

I have read Snuka's posts in the past. First point: Snuka never gave a damn about posting in "Off Topic" because he posted in "General Forum" in the old BSWest format. This could be a forum about freshwater fish tanks, and Snuka would preach and hijack-YES HIJACK-religion. All I know is Snuka has convinced me...that passive aggressive religious fundamentalists get all the attention...and yet I get more inspiration from my basset hound than snuka...I see God in both-It's just my dog is a little less condescending, and never preaches. Snuka, between us, God wants you to shut up about the bible. He doesn't even read your hacky posts on the message boards. And before you get all upset, I spoke to God and he said he loves us both HOWEVER thinks my posts are funnier and more interesting than yours, and God has a great sense of humor! Because God made us to be creative and thoughtful, so don't blame the messenger for the message. But God clearly talks to you more than to me, and I am jealous. I just speak to him once in a while, yet I get the feeling he enjoys our time together.

as i said before
I do not care about keeping or not keeping this post going, I am simply having a conversation, & AGAIN
I know you can post whatever you want but expect backlash
alot of people made it clear we don't like it
I am sure your intentions are good
but did it ever occur to you
that *I* may have had it up to HERE in my life with this kinda thing? So i come here to backstage & here it is again.
did it ever occur to you that I am jewish or atheist & really do not want to hear about it here?
some Jews can't even go into a church. tis is not a church & again
it''s not a topic about religion, it's MULTI times for a while you have been bringing it up
take a hint: Knock it off
again
last week I went to my good friends band( A christain band) to support her
so i am not condemning anything , but there is a time & a place to Preach & by Posting "GOD"S" word according to YOUR CHRISTAIN bible, that is preaching, '
why can't you understand this>??

I answered your questions, you just didn't like the answers. Snuka, its not that I didnt LIKE your answers, its just your answers were A) opinion and you claim them to be fact B) Vague and lacking any intelligent thought and C) Contradictory to the actual facts of the bible itself. Thats all. I can't do anything about that. I'd say that you don't have the "mental capacity" and/or spiritual capacity to understand what I said. No one has the capacity to understand what you said because everything about it was simply illogical. Im not trying to be mean, Im just stating facts.

People can post whatever they want in the "Off Topic..." section. You're really trying to censor me because you're not comfortable with God. Again, you're insinuating that we have a problem with God. It is not with God, but with your narrow-mindedness of how you think OTHERS should believe. Please tell me this is getting through to you. I said time and time again that I think its great you have a relationship with this "Jesus" character. I have a relationship with my "Moneto" character (in all fairness). I don't tell others that if they don't live by my rules, they're wrong. I don't tell them they HAVE to do certain things in order for God to love them. This is where my faith differs from yours. I dont have to sell my religion. As people in the entertainment field, you should object to censorship.

I conclude that although you're debating against me, the spiritual part of you thirsts and longs for God. Again, your wrong. This is not fact, this is your opinion. Be careful on how you word things. Who are you to tell people this? If you were to say, "I THINK the spiritual part of you thirsts and longs for God" it would be a more intelligent statement. You're looking and searching for answers. Even though you feel and think that you're fighting against me, you're really looking for answers from the Lord Jesus Christ. This is why the post keeps going. You're (again) trying (and failing miserably) to tell others how to live. If you can prove this, Im all ears. The day may come when you have an encounter with the Lord God Almighty and you'll remember this little post on BackStage.com that caused such a fuss.

I think he'll give me a high-five!

avidactor,

I directly and clearly answered your questions. Like I said, you didn't like the answers and that's not my problem

-------------

People keep responding because they want to justify their own ways of thinking. That's fine! If you all want to keep this going on forever then that's fine with me.

Wow, that is so egotistical.
i don't need to justify anything, but if it makes you feel better to believe that fine.
Let me ask you~
You do know that your way isn't the only way? Don't you?

People have their own ways of thinking. I'm not concerned about responding anymore because some of you are prideful and just want to argue.

Hencefore, I'm only going to respond with the Word of God. The Word of God will speak for itself.

No wonder god's been silent for so long, there's too many idiots trying to speak for him, he decided to shut up and let the morons fend for themselves!
