    It isn't really about what you believe or don't believe. You stated that to get attention; just like all internet trolls do.
    You read a post that you by no means had to comment on and read and posted something completely irrelevant to what the poster was trying to say.

    Religion is only a topic that causes discourse when people, like you cannot respect other people’s beliefs. Her belief in the devil has absolutely no affect on you. Just like you not believing has no affect on her.

    Also, if you hadn’t commented she probably wouldn’t have “preached “ at you. What exactly did you expect her to say back? Oh my gosh. You are right. There is no devil. You have shown me the light.

    I think you are just being a bully. If you don’t like what she is saying, don’t read it.

    Hanfordrose, you are awesome. I love reading your posts. You come off as such a sweetheart and my thoughts are with you on your journey to getting healthy (and to your new knees).

    You have a fan in me. 

    I'm not a troll. I just stated what was the cause of my scale going up. That's not trolling. Trolling would have been me saying "you're stupid, satan isn't real". Don't even TRY accusing ME of trolling or bullying. I didn't demand that she not believe what she does.

    People are bloody ridiculous.

    Loving this! This is so true. We get discouraged to easily and give up. Or let me speak for myself.. ** I ** get discouraged to easily and sometimes feel like "Man, im NEVER going to get this weight off!". Thanks for this posting! Gonna keep going and continue to ask God to help me! :)

    It's not nice to make fun of Satan's fat foot. He's very self-conscious about his cankles.

    Does Satan make himself obese or is that Gabriel's revenge for making the Bible Belt obese?

    To put it out there, there are Christian groups on MFP that this might be better received.

    Thanks for your suggestion, Sis. I haven't joined any other groups...except MFP. I didn't see why my little cartoon and my beliefs should be that offensive. However, some folks feel the need to censor other folks thoughts. All I can do is pray for them. 2 Timothy 1:12

    You did speak in the first person plural a lot in your OP. Without qualification, of which there was none as far as I can tell, that could be taken by some as you projecting your beliefs on anyone who reads it.

    Satan didn't make you overeat and gain weight. That was all your own choice. Placing blame on someone else is unhealthy.

    God didn't make you lose weight. That was your own effort. Do not short change yourself and give away your victory.

    Because not everyone shares the same belief. It's best to just keep religion off the main forums and just in groups users have created.

    Amen, sista! Preach! Thank you so much for your original post and this comment! I needed to hear this today! I stand in agreement with you in regards to our battles! With God, we can do anything!

    This!!!! I've recently realized that I haven't included God in my other weight loss attempts and that needed to change. Between Satan and my own temptations it's a pretty sorry state otherwise!

    My post wasn't meant to offend anyone, but I will not be ashamed of my beliefs. I am just an old lady with so much gratitude for all that God has given me...including 43 pounds of weight loss since Thanksgiving and some wonderful, supportive sisters on MFP. :heart:

    I thought that my illustration would give someone encouragement...and maybe even a laugh. :wink:

    It was a good reminder! Thank you!!

    Fair enough - and well done on the weightloss. But do you not feel like you're short changing yourself on the achievement somewhat?

    No. I spent too much of my life thinking that I was a fat failure. I didn't like me, let alone love me. I can't explain everything that has happened in my life...without speaking about miracles and God. I will just leave it at that. I know that my successes have their source in My Lord. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I certainly do not want to say anything else that might offend the young lady from New York.

    You didn't offend me. It seems like you got offended by my comment. Not my intention whatsoever.

    Anti-God people are full of themselves. You can take it to the bank. They walk around with a chip on their shoulde andr are in amazement when people are repulsed at their arrogance. They are a bunch of intolerant fruit cakes in my opinion. The good news is that when we get to Heaven, we won't have to tolerate them. To Hell with them, literally.

    delighting in the eternal torment of others doesn't seem very Christian. Just sayin'.

    I am sorry that you are finding out the hard way that this site is most certainly not Christian friendly. Any post with a Christian reference will draw this type of response. It's sad that we are demanded to be quiet about our faith. It would be different if people were proselytizing, but they aren't. Just the mere mention will bring out the ones to shout you down. Not a very tolerant bunch I am afraid.

    Mark 12:17: "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's." Obey the rules. Besides, no one is censoring your thoughts, just your posts.

    Matthew 6:6: "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Just a thought.

    I spent years in parochial school. I respect everyone's right to their religion. We simply live in a world with many of them. There are groups for this type of post and no one is stopping anyone from posting in those groups.

    People like you are the reason why Christians are seen in such a negative light. I'm not arrogant. I believe in live and let live. My comment was reflecting upon ME and ME alone. I don't see why me not believing in a devil is offensive and has brought forth such vitriol from everyone else accusing me of being offensive, when it is they who are being that way. I felt I was being preached at, so I NICELY asked not to be. I was pretty cordial.

    You, however, are being rude.

    Wow... this is truly one of the worst things I have ever, ever seen written in these boards. :noway: I will assume you are a Christian, so here is a lesson Jesus might want you to remember:

    1 Peter 3:8

    To sum up, let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;

    You cannot be against something you don't believe in. As for the rest of your post, it is too funny and full of hypocracy to comment on.

    Sounds like the sin of wrath to me... welcome to hell friend.

    Don't turn this into "we're being persecuted because we're Christians!". I didn't persecute anyone. All I did was post that I don't believe in a devil that gets in the way of MY weight. That is all. It's the rest of you who are turning this into a ****-storm of victimhood. Religion doesn't belong here. That means ALL religions. There are groups that are for christians. It would have been more appropriate to post there.

    I just want to clarify, she is talking about groups within MFP -- look under the community tab.

    It's all promised in the Bible we believe. Not everyone gets in. Sorry. God is pretty strict in his immigration policy. First order is that you have to believe in him. I am pretty certain that lets most of you out, for now.

    I guess that I write like I tend to speak. I will try to be more careful with how I share my thoughts on MFP. My beliefs are MY BELIEFS. If it looks like I am 'projecting' them on someone, it is probably just my way of speaking. I believe that everyone has the right to believe what they want to believe. I just happen to be a Christian, and I don't want to be denied the right to acknowledge that belief...on MFP or anywhere else.

    If someone is a Muslim...a Hindu...an atheist, they should be able to say it without fear of criticism or censure.

    I'm sorry that you felt that my comments were directed toward you, that couldn't be further from the truth. I was directing my comment to the OP So that she might save herself some grief in the future. I sincerely hope you didn't take offense because none was intended. Have a great evening.

    If this "heaven" is full of people like you, I'm glad I'm not allowed in. Since you think you know your bible, did you overlook this little snippet?

    Sorry. A lot of people seem to be thinking I'm some troll or bully, so I assumed another was jumping on the bandwagon. I'm also cranky, so excuse the post above.
