Words are not intrinsically rude or insulting.
Words used a certain way have a certain intention.
The same word used differently can be rude or be neutral.
When I say person,s who live only by materialistic standards are living like hogs, dogs, camels and asses........that is not rude.
It is informative because we all know that hogs, dogs camels and asses live to satisfy their senses and have no care for enquiring about God.
Therefore persons who have no care for enquiring about God and who simply live to satisfy their senses are just like hogs dogs camels asses.
This is informative and not the least bit insulting.
However those who are dishonest will interprate that informative piece of knowledge and twist it to be rude.
The information is not rude .............but their mind is rude to twist the comment into something unintended..
Is that crystal clear?
Originally posted by DasaYes, you use a range of words, Dasa, and "analogies": snakes, monkeys, rats, rutting dogs, feces eating pigs, camels, cockroaches, donkeys, old men with dementia, a 7 year old child with cerebral palsy etc. etc. for people who have a different belief system from you. People only have to mention that you used these words - and quote them verbatim - and you accuse them of "twisting" them.

There are no insults or rudeness..........just information.
If someone deliberately comes to the forum to play mind games with no care to learn I may call them a fool.
They are a fool to throw away the opportunity to learn something.
The only thing I can be charged with - is using strong language to wake up all the sleeping souls.
I love all living beings and I must wake them up......and I must take the risk of people saying I am rude and insulting if I want to get through to their dull brains.

Are you claiming you haven't used analogies involving rats, rutting dogs, feces eating pigs, cockroaches, old men with dementia, a 7 year old child with cerebral palsy, and such like, to express your point of view about those whose belief system is different from yours?
I can go and find the posts in which you said these things if you want.
Originally posted by DasaI have read literally hundreds and hundreds of your posts; and taken a look at countless links; I have responded to hundreds of your posts; I have almost always been measured and relatively polite; no one has engaged you with as much patience and in such a sustained way as I have; no one has supported your right to believe what you want to believe about yourself as often and as staunchly as I have. I have had plenty of opportunity to learn about you and what you believe, and I certainly have not thrown the opportunity away. I know all about you, I know all about your beliefs, and I know all about the effect your beliefs have on you. I think I have treated you fairly and I think I have learnt a lot.

Analogies are not rude.....but informative.
Is the word rat rude?
Is the word dog rude.
I have never used the word runnting in my life - and it is a word you made up from your imagination because you are dishonest.

You have been patronizing and sarcastic and condescending..................never polite because to be dishonest with me repeatedly is not polite.
Originally posted by DasaYou suggested that my spouse and I were no different to "rutting dogs" because we still have, after almost 20 years of marriage, wonderful spiritual bond expressed in many ways including sexually. It was around the same time as you compared me to "a 7 year old child with cerebral palsy" because I do not subscribe to the same belief system as you.

Originally posted by DasaQuite a wide range of people, in the past, have commented on my polite, measured and patient approach to you. I have also consistently supported your right to believe what you want to believe about yourself, even as others have actually attempted to dissect what you believe and ridicule it; something I very deliberately do not do.
You have never been polite.

as I can recall. However, you did insult Christ, Christianity, and myself by
referring to my religion as false because it was the religion of the animal
killers, as if it is always bad to kill animals. You said that Christ and any
dead body could not be risen from the dead, which if true, would make my
faith vain.
