How can Loveologist have the arrogance to lecture us?

Loveologist, if you live in North America, Central or South America- you are in fact an american.  So get a little more technical when you preach.  Considering that the US economy supports multiple indigenous countries (i.e. remember USA for Africa? Christian Children's Fund? Brought the oppressed Vietnames, Koreans, Filipinos, Indians, etc, to US and they have educations and great jobs.) Anyways, to answer..... yes it is hyprocritical and in fact twisted!!!

He strikes me the same way. Even his name "Dr. Phil" strikes me as arrogant and insincere: He wants to be an "everyman" and hence goes by the shortened version of his first name, Phillip, but he also wants to rub his professional title in your face. Unfortunately, as with most arrogant people, he is no more right or wrong than anyone else, but his arrogance makes his good advice hard to accept and his bad advice seem that much the worse.

arrogance..fear .close minded....you would have to be arrogant as well as dogmatic in your thinking not to even entertain the possibility of life elsewhere...and afraid of the unknown... and the possibilities that would bring....are too much for some people to fathom....personally I could do without the anal probe...but other than that... I'm willing to meet and greet ..lol...

I tell you what!  You are doing a good job at insulting them. Just keep being your self.\nThis so call "god lover" and puritan groups believe  of them selves as being some type of special human race that have conquer some type of special place in this galaxy of beyond.

Tell him in a direct way that focuses on how his behavior makes you feel rather than judging him or condemning the behavior. For example, don't say something like, "God, I'm sick of your bragging! It totally annoys him!"\n\nInstead, give him some concrete examples of things he's said that annoy you. Tell him specifically why that behavior is annoying to you. If you can keep the focus on neutral facts and your own feelings rather than accusing him, you lessen the chance that he will get upset.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

then we created Him to explain us and the critters...  In our own image no less.\n\nImagine that, a contradiction in the bible.\n\n(I can just feel the thumbs down from the fundies already)

I know that sucks. But you have to look at anyone's behavior from inside their shoes.\n\nPeople who do this honestly believe that if you do not convert to their point of view, you are going to suffer in the afterlife, or have less than others, or be eternally destroyed while others continue on, etc.\n\nTherefore, it really is the most loving thing to do from their perspective. From inside their worldview, you are missing 2 hours of sleep but will possibly, by accepting what they honestly see as the truth, escape an eternity burning in a pit of flames, or life on a lower heaven, etc.\n\nIt sucks, but there it is. The logical consequence of their theology is that it would be selfish of them to NOT do the things they do. \n\nNothing except changing their theology will end that conviction...and changing their theology can only be achieved by giving them more respect than you feel they are giving you and then talking to them. And it will rarely work.\n\n~ Lib

Dude, you're back!!!  I have the same problem, but he is much more forceful about it.  I just argued as an atheist and basically told him his views were bullsh*t.  He got so pissed off that he took the rest of the day off and was granted a transfer to another shift.  The rest of us had a party!  Other than that, bring in your own boom-box and jam it louder.

Its arrogant to not question gods so-called word.

You are right but you are preaching with a few exceptions to an audience of morons devoid of any knowledge of history and replete with bullshit propaganda.\nDon't expect simpathy or understanding from the IGNORANT.

Well put. I often get trapped into snide comments.\n\nI need to defend the faith, but in a loving way. Thank you.

Actually, what is mocked is the image they present to others using ancient writings.  Which I find odd since they basically put down anyone else's image based on ancient ideas as well.  Personally, I just see this as a way they can "threaten" people into shutting them up when someone points out something wrong with the presented image.

why won't you enlighten us with how you deal with your blatantly obvious homsexuality?

I do, I am one. Yes we will be persecuted, mocked, and ridiculed, but can our opposers give us everlasting life? Can they promise us that we may see our dead loved ones again? Can they help us learn the TRUTH about the Bible? NO!!! They are humans just like us, their statements are very rude and insulting but who cares. Remember those who don't listen to our message are rejecting JEHOVAH, not us, so keep on persevering in your ministry.

I find the athiests are the rudest, most malicous.  They attack our beliefs, applaud each other for attacking us, then get their little feelings hurt if we don't sit and take it.  If you don't believe in anything, why are you constantly harrassing us.  Why hang around in a religious/spiritual area if you don't think anything exists outside of this life?  Go pick on the republicans/democrats, I'm guessing you at least believe in them.

We have a right to disagree, but not to disrespect. We can disagree in a civil matter. When we go about burning down places of worship or marking grafitti, using their icons and symbols purposely in a demeaning way...all of these are disrespectful. And one can be satirical about religions in a respectful way as well. I think we just have to ask ourself "if it were me, how would this make me feel?" before we act or before we say something...because sometimes there are better ways to phrase what we have to say, but we don't stop to take the time to really think about all the ways we can say something. If we did then we wouldn't have to say things like "I didn't mean it like that" or "oh, well you know what I really meant".

kind of, but my arrogance is like yeast in bread.  I keep having to punch it down.
