Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

God asked the woman to get up, he asked where the crowd that wanted to stone her had went.. they had walked away.

God says he’s the only person who can judge us, it says in the bible judging someone is a sin, for no one.. is without sin.

I hope your baby is type O when the father is AB

I really hope that the husband/boyfriend in this relationship finds out and leaves this person soon, if he hasn’t already.

Oh and btw, OUR son has blue eyes and we both have hazel. I didn’t cheat on him.

The way I grew up–I need to be constantly reminded that I’m appealing, attractive, and infinitely lovable.

I know you probably hate yourself for this, and–trust me–becoming a better person is hard, because you will feel tainted and dirty around people who have never been there, but ultimately it will make you happier.

I hope you realize this.

How could I? Honestly, how could anyone who has been in that situation?

My ex cheated on me for 3 years, and he’s the reason it’s taken me over a year to even begin to trust my boyfriend of 2 years.
I have sympathy for your boyfriend, but none for you.

Believe me, it’s a bitch when you realise that the guy you wanted to marry is the reason you had to go get tested for STDs!

So go look in a mirror. If you’ve been making caustic remarks to whoever posted this, consider the fact that you’ve probably shown just as much disregard for moral conduct as anyone. You just don’t have the guts to own up to it.

Get over it and get a life.

If you say you’re sorry for doing something, and then continue to do it… you weren’t really sorry in the first place.

However, that isn’t the case, because if he had fallen in love with your Mum, he’d leave his wife. But he won’t because he’s a liar (to both his wife and your Mum).

Don’t worry about yourself though, you just don’t know what will happen. You may very well meet the love of your life and stay blissfully happy together until one of you croaks. It happens more than you’d think.

As for your Mum, she WILL come unstuck, one way or another. Just so long as you’re prepared for the fallout.

And I would add that she’s setting a pretty terrible example to you. You don’t have a warped perception, family is family, whatever they do. But that doesn’t excuse bad behaviour.

I guess it annoys me so much because it’s so obvious that it can never have a happy ending. Maybe your Mum’s lover will leave his wife (poor wife), but will it be for your Mum? Perhaps, but then how can she ever know he isn’t doing the same thing to her? the one thing he has demonstrated is he cannot be trusted.

I feel for you, but it seems like you’re getting a good education in how not to handle your love life!

You cannot prove a negative. There are lots and lots of things that we can’t prove don’t exist, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t so unlikely that we can be pretty sure they don’t exist.

Your suggestion seems to be that it’s ok to believe anything that has not been 100% disproved, which is pretty odd when you think about it. **I believe I can fly** – can you prove that I can’t?

Thought, given the way this thread has gone, you may find this amusing:

As you have just demonstrated.

And yes, I know what they say about arguing on the internet, but I thought the whole point here was to hear what people had to say on a particular topic. I got flamed for stating my opinion, endeavoured to back it up and got thrown a load of personal attacks!

It’s debatable (excuse the irony) whether I was actually arguing for the sake of arguing: I simply had a difference of opinion on the actual topic of discussion. If you think I’m wrong, then tell me why, but don’t just flame me personally because you don’t like my opinion.

Looking back, I did attack Evershrike personally in one of my posts (you spout meaningless rubbish…..), which was wrong of me and I apologise for that. Emotion overtook me in that instance.

And when I say I’m sorry, I mean I will try my best not to do it again (just to get us back on topic!!!!).

There is a difference between raw intelligence and the ability to put a rational, thought-through argument together.

The fact that you have personally attacked me (rather than my argument) three times now, suggests that you can’t actually articulate your argument, or you don’t have the courage of your convictions. Or, as you suggest, I am indeed more intelligent. Twas not me that made that assertion though.

I’m beginning to think I’m the only one having fun here

Something of an own goal, methinks.

You logic seems to be: “unless you have been a jerk, or someone has been a jerk to you, you can’t possibly understand. I have been a jerk and been jerked around, so I am well qualified to comment!”

I’ve never murdered anyone, nor been murdered myself. Does that mean I can’t judge a murderer, because I have no personal experience? At least that would make jury duty more interesting…..

My post above was basically saying that people use the abstract concept of god to say that people don’t have the right to judge. This makes no logical, rational sense as people judge everything, all of the time: it IS human nature. Even the person who make the secret was judging their own behaviour (sufficiently so that they felt the need to write a postcard about it and publish it to the world). How can someone comment at all without making some kind of judgement? I would argue by creating the postcard, the writer invited judgement, be it a judgement that they should be forgiven, demonised, lauded, hated, etc etc.

I appreciate I was a bit harsh (the god thing really bothers me – there is as much evidence for god as there is for fairies and goblins living at the bottom of my garden).

I don’t have a chip on my shoulder, I just enjoy a good debate!

oh, and hag implies female. And you obviously do care what I say or you wouldn’t have felt compelled to reply

I say what I want to because I can. If you don’t like it don’t respond! You live on inviting conflict. You have a perpetual chip on your shoulder because you must not have anything better to do. If you think I “spout meaningless rubbish” why do you even read what I say? I couldn’t care less if you like what I say or if it’s helpful. It’s what I want to say and I can even if you don’t like it.
