Firstly - thanks oasis for this great message board. Would like to know what others think of message board bullies that attack a poster because of their faith. I have noticed that wherever I go and post an encouraging message under religion or spirituality they come flocking in with negativity, put downs and name calling etc.

Does it change your believe? I guess no. So just ignore them. Isn't it a wonderful world that everyone can believe what they want to believe. And I think we should encourage that. It would be so boring if everyone would believe and agree with everyone else. When I was at school a teacher said something I still use as a rule: He said: Everyone's freedom goes as far as the freedom of the others start. It means something like you have the freedom to think and believe and do what you think is right but don't force it onto others.

Yes I agree with you, it is great that we can all believe what we want and I certainly have never forced my faith onto others, some just like to argue and debate for the fun of the chase, but bullying is one thing I can't stand and never will. Nice to meet you Ivyplus, I used to post in the new age section and spirituality of trademe , what about you IP ?
