What really matters

I didn't really know where to post this..I know we want to be healthy, but the most important thing in our life is our relationship with God. He isn't going to ask us about our weight loss journey, but our walk with Him & how well we loved. This world is getting worse every day. We need God in our daily lives. We need to be close to Him; that's what really matters.

    I understand you feel this way. Not everyone else does. But I wish you well.

    I thought this was going to be about family and loved ones, because of the school shooting.

    wish it would have been.

    I know you probably mean to do the right thing, but not everyone shares this belief.

    I'll stick with what I believe in and kindly not impose it on you.

    You're welcome.

    Its a very sad day and I can understand why you felt the need to post this.....but please look at the bigger picture and realize that not everyone believes the same thing(s) you do. While you feel it necessary to walk with God, be ready for others to not agree! This site has people from all over the world from many differnt countries, religious backgrounds, ethnicities, and such.

    How about we leave it as - whatever your faith/religion/belief we should send thoughts, prayers, blessings, etc ..... instead of trying to impose your belief on others.

    It's simple people, if you don't agree or have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

    You probably mean well, but this sentiment isn't going to fly with everyone. There are a growing number of people who believe that what matters most is how we treat ourselves and others. No belief in a deity necessary for that. Take care.

    Agreed. I've been enjoying a few classes that have physical and spiritual wellness in mind. I love "Yo-God, an Exercise in Worship." It's a yoga class with prayer and meditation. And also "Faith Fueled Fitness," a dance class that burns a lot of calories dancing to high energy praise music. You should check out churches in your area to see if any of them offer anything so you can incorperate your physical well-being journey into your faith journey. :smile:

    And I have to agree with leannacoullie; if you don't have something nice to say, why bother. Does it make you feel better to be rude to people? I didn't think the post was imposing beliefs on anyone. If I ran into a post about Wiccan beliefs I'd simply read and walk away, not tell them how wrong they are or that it's insensitive to talk about such things because everyone doesn't agree. Everyone doesn't agree on whether to eat your exercise calories back or not but that doesn't keep people from posting about it constantly.

    She did. I'm not being rude. But telling others they need God in their lives is offensive to people of other beliefs. You are free to worship and believe however you'd like. But please don't tell me how to do the same.

    Suprised this thread has lasted as long as it has. Most other forum sites, and for good reason, politics and religious threads are not allowed. Think this should go too before it turns into something really nasty.
