24. Don't raise issues of personal morality and responsibility on here, Paul.
Some people find it very distressing, indeed outrageous. And they have that 'killer' put down: 'You're not perfect!' You're on a hiding to nothing.

An atheist posting bad-mouthing God in the religion/theology folder suggested I could be banned from DU for bad-mouthing him and his atheist tribe. I was touched by his concern for my poor witness to 'gentle Jesus meek', which only proved that the big stick worked. His tenderness for Christianity shone through 'like a good deed in a naughty world.

Still, it was my posts that were deleted, so I left the religion/theology folder to the atheists to run riot in (I avoided it up to then, for that reason, but somehow fondly imagined that the video I posted would be deemed uncontroversial, given the name of the folder. Obviously not the case.)

I'm beginning to wonder whether it's worth posting here any more. It's not an 'I'm fed up and leaving' flouncing out, door-banging me in the butt, 'Please say you want me to stay' thang. I just see less and less point. Hlthe2b's post just confirms the madness on here now. Or was it always that way? If I leave or am kicked out, I dare say I'll still mine DU for info from the economic and financial pros and quote DU posts and links.
