Rise above it.
Do as Jesus would.
Do not return to the ways of the past, but rise to the place where God desires you to be.

Be the glimmer of hope; the shining example.

Or, you could always:

Kind of like that saying, "If you are not part of the solution, than you are part of the problem!"

yes you have a good thought there

Perhaps you missed my post regarding this.I've spoken out against this for years. But, I have decided to change tactics. I am tired of this type of behaviour and the only possible solution I see for change is ... "If you can't beat them - join them". I don't like this type of bahavior. But I can only hope that if I join them that there will be enough outcry about this behaviour that people will start to see it and hate it.

So ... telling people what they believe is what I will do. Telling people they are lost seems to be the popular theme so I will join them. Yes pk I have decided to be part of the problem instead of the solution. But only because I see no other option at this point. The problem here is not viewed as a problem. My goal is to help others see that it IS a problem.

It is my hope that there will be a truce . I would be the first one to agree to it. ANd that is my prayer.

AGAIN you are trying to high jack this thread

Is it useful, though, to say something like "Based on what you've posted, you seem to believe that... - is that correct?" As you said earlier, Woodie, to ask someone to clarify their belief, rather than to assume you know what it is. Drawing others out, rather than beating them down, is IMO the purpose of a discussion... and this used to be a discussion forum, not a war zone. I hope it can be again.

YES I AGREE WITH YOU
