“Promote what you love rather than bashing what you hate.”
Interesting that so many people on here spend so much time bashing.
I hardly ever see atheists for example promoting atheism. Or other religions promoting their own religion. Most people spend most of their time here bashing Christianity. I wonder why that is?
PS: This is not me bashing atheism and other religions. 😅
@dj2becker saidWell, since Dasa was banned there isn't really anyone else. I'm an agnostic and it's essentially a skeptical position, in the old sense of the word, meaning that I'll happily criticize theists and atheists. Being an agnostic I don't really have a position of my own to defend, other than that when I'm criticizing I hope that it's generally in the critique sense of the word rather than the condemnation sense.

You seem to have completely ignored the "..." thread, in which considerable amounts of what appear to me to be Buddhist and Daoist poetry are being quoted. This seems to be to be promotion of a non-Christian viewpoint.
@deepthought saidI have merely glanced at the poetry post, is there a lot of bashing of the people who are writing in it for their motivations, and the poems themselves? You bring up a good point, I have to give you that?

@mister-moggy saidI used to share an apartment decades ago with a friend whose mom would send care packages every week. One of the things she sent was cat food, there was no cat. Never knew why. 😉
@KellyJay
i promote kitty litter.
@kellyjay saidThere is always 'a cat' sir, a stray somewhere that needs feeding.

Or do we only feed those cats that we own?
@kellyjay saidI haven't been through the whole thing, but there appears to be no criticism at all. This was my point though, that that poetry does not appear to involve 'bashing' of any other belief systems.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOnce again, you open my eyes! 😄

@kellyjay saidI like to think your friend's mum was sending you subliminal messages to feed all strays cats as a juxtaposition to feeding the hungry and those in need.
Once again, you open my eyes! 😄
