SLS,
It is not my intention to submit 100 posts . On the contrary, my post wrote that I would like the referrence to Rousseau to be deleted because to discuss Rousseau and all of the implications that could come out of it would be too much posting and that is why I have asked for it to be deleted.

SLS,
The admin. board is created for participants to discuss this type of matter, yet are you saying that I am to be limited to a spacific amount of time or posts to discuss admin. issues even though the moderator has not responded with a clarification to my request for clarification as of yet?
I do not consider my requests for clarification to be frivolous, for they they are to clear up matters that are important to me.
For instance, in the post that you are referring to, Dr. Hsiung has a link to click on about what Jean Rousseau writes. In that link there are statements that if are endorsed by the forum could cause me to have to leave, for I consider Rousseau's statement that[...christianity preaches only servitude and dependence....true christians are made to be slaves...this short life counts for little in their lives...]to be a violation of the forum's goals of support and I am asking Dr. Hsiung to clarify if he endorses that statement for the forum and that christians are to be seen in that light because Dr. Hsiung writes after Rousseau's statement about[..whoever dare say...no salvation outside of the church...] that that supports the posting policy hear. I have asked him to delete it because I really do not think that it belongs on a mental health forum particularry when it is put on the forum by the moderator because it could have the potential for others to think that the forum endorses this type of attitude toward christians,
Now I have an interest as you do here, and I am asking DR.Hsiung to clarify this, for if the forum endorses that christians are to be put in that light on this forum, then I feel that they are being defamed and if they are defamed, then I am defamed.

SLS,
You wrote,[...an option that is {less disruptive} would be to email with...].
Well, I do want you to know that I have sent emails to Dr. Hsiung and Dinah when she was a moderator deputy.
But this forum is for discussion of these things and I am responding to the invitation to discuss these things. I feel that they belong on this forum as much as any other admin. post because I feel that resolving the clarifications that I have requested to be clarified is more impotant than if it takes a long time to do so.

> It is not my intention to submit 100 posts .
I am greatly relieved. Such behavior could create a very real need to impose quotas on posting. I would be in favor of using the administration board to discuss this need should it present itself. I truly hope that it does not.
> On the contrary, my post wrote that I would like the referrence to Rousseau to be deleted
I understand that this is your request of Dr. Hsiung.
> because to discuss Rousseau and all of the implications that could come out of it would be too much posting
Hmmm. How would you define too much posting?
> and that is why I have asked for it to be deleted.
Because it would be too much posting?

Hi Lou.
It might be desirable to give people more time to respond to your requests for clarifications and to interact in general. It would probably enhance discussion and reduce the number of sequential unanswered posts. I believe that this would help maintain the continuity of threads and the readability of the board.

Friends,
The opening page of the faith board calls attention to a part of Jean Rousseau's writing. In that writing, Jean Rousseau writes,[...christianity preaches only servitude and dependence...true christians are made to be slaves...this short life counts for little in their lives...].
Let us look at what christianity says.

In reply to What are Christians? Is Rousseau correct?10, posted by Lou Pilder on September 25, 2004, at 20:21:25
Friends,
This Jesus of Christianity could be the Jesus and Christianity that Jean Jaques Roussea was referring to. I belive that it was , for the history of the world, and in the time period of Jean Rousseau's time, the Jesus that spoke the previous words was the same Jesus.
This Jesus Jean Rousseau says [...preaches only servitude and dependence...].
Is that what this Jesus of Christianity preached in the previous posts? Is mourning a part of this dependence and servitude that Jean Roussear writes about? Is being merciful part of the dependence that Jean Rousseau wrote Bout?
Are hungering and thirsting for rightiousness part of what Jean Rousseau was referring to as dependance and servitude? Would not servitude to rightiousness be a good quality for a person to have?
I have questions that I would like anyone to answer. Is Jean Jaques Rouseauu the athourity here on this Jesus of Christianity? If so, where does he get this authority from?

Friends,
Jean Jaques Rousseau write, [...christianity preaches only servitude and dependence....true christians are made to be slaves...].
Let us look at what this Jesus of Christianity said .
He was questioned greatly about life. And on one occasion when questioned on why He was here for people, He said," I come that they may have life and that they might have it more abundanly."
Does that sound like what Jean Rouseaau says about Christianity?

Gabbix,
Thank you for your interest in this discussion. You wrote,[...should be ...on the faith board...].
Well, the posts in question are in relation to refuting Jean Jaques Rousseau's accusations that [...Christianity preaches only servitude and dependence,...made to be slaves...short life counts little...]in a thread that it is relevant to. If i was to post it on the faith board, then it would not appear in the thread here.

Gabbix2,
This thread is an administrative discussion on what in part is written on the opening page of the faith board that I beliveis defaming to Christians and others and I am in a dialog with Dr. Hsiung in referrence to my request that the referrences that use Jean Rousseau either be removed or ckarified as to if the forum endorses what is in question here.
It is my belife that the statements in question by Rousseau are in violation of the forum's goal of support, for I belive that the statements by Rousseau put down the christians faith and that is why I have posted the posts that you have asked about. I am showing that Rousseau's accusations about Christianity are not consistant with the Jesus of Christianity in relation to what He preached, for what that Jesus preached is different from what Rousseau writes about Christianity.
If this is so, then could not the parts on the faith board by Rousseau be deemed false and deserve to be removed?
I hope this gives more light on why I posted the posts in question. The posts are part of a dialog with me and Dr. Hsiung and others in this thread, not something that I wanted to post as a faith post. So I am not seeking faith responses . If I was, then I would post it on the faith board.

I think you voiced your disagreement very eloquently in that single post Groovy Lou. The reason I mentioned that I thought this belonged on the Faith board was because read individually the single posts appeared to me to be Bible Teachings..
By the time I got to the bottom I'd lost your original point.
However after reading "Lou's reply to Gabbix2-B" I understand your concerns much better.
And I really don't mind if you post 10 times
or 12, (except in certain situations) but I do think others would alsounderstand what you had to say much better from a single post (or a Gabbi double) But I know you've heard all that before : )
Then again, I'm hardly one to give advice on how to get one's point across succinctly.Foiled again.
Last post for me!

thank you for your reply. I guess I better let it out here. You see, I can not write any other way than I do. I have a rare neurological disorder that prohibits me from posting (normally?). Your comments are kind ones about my posting.

Normal? I understand, and I'm sorry that you had to explain, if it hadn't made such a significant difference in my ease of understanding I wouldn't have mentioned it.

Lou,
I have just been an observer to your thread because I am not well informed about your topic.Nevertheless, I wanted to jump in to say that I believe it was very brave and generous of you to share with Gabbi and the board the underpinnings of your posting style. I applaud you. Can you hear my applause from your end of the city in which we both live? :)
Take care,

"Tolerance should be given to all religions that tolerate others, so long as their dogmas contain nothing contrary to the duties of citizenship. But whoever dares to say: Outside the Church is no salvation, ought to be driven from the State."
I, personally, think this statement says an awful lot, but it does not mention ANY particular faith.
What I see it as saying, is that any "nation" is made up of many different religious beliefs, and that all should be tolerated. To me, it says that salvation can *only* be found within any particular religion is incorrect, and that all different beliefs should be respected.I rather like that quote. I don't know the full of what it comes from, but Dr Bob didn't post the full text, only what I have quoted above.
