General purpose rules of engagement and intro post

Dec 31, 2020 22:00

If you've found my journal, hello! Pull up a virtual chair, put your feet up, have a cup of tea (or drink of your choice). You are very very welcome!
I was Friends-only for a while. I'm not any more, but quite a lot of my posts before about mid-2007 are still Friends-only. Generally speaking, unless I'm making posts that are really only for me ( Read more... )

Hi David!

Just wanted to say I've really appreciated your posts in christianforums.com. I have encountered a lot of hostility (and I would venture to say, stupidity) there ... and having a person like you around has been a breath of fresh air. I am an atheist, as is shown in my christianforums information, but you have made me feel that it is actually possible to talk to
religious people and have a meaningful conversation!

With all good wishes
Andrew (Andreusz)

Salutations. :) flamingfemme September 8 2008, 20:27:45 UTC

Just like the person above me, I also appreciate your posts on CF. As a pagan, and as a queer person, I have really enjoyed your input on various subjects. Would you mind if I Friend you? I don't post on LJ as often as I'd like, but I try to update periodically.
Hope you're having a wonderful day.

Hi there! Yeah, I don't mind at all if you Friend me.

Nope, today's been crap, to be honest, but little things are cheering me up (like your cake or death icon!!! *g* )

I'm sorry about the crap day. Having a chronic pain disorder, I can TOTALLY relate. But, YAY for Eddie Izzard making it that much better. :)

Hi,

Hope you don't mind me commenting.

I came over randomly via one of the LOM comms and noticed you're a Christian. Nice to find another Christian on one of my comms (LoM, Dr Who etc). I'm an Anglican. Best wishes for the wedding.

A few questions for you.... anonymous November 2 2008, 11:48:21 UTC

Hi David ( ... )

I believe the standard response to people who quote the bit of Levticus they happen to agree with is to ask them if they're also pro-slavery, and anti-people wearing mixed fibres? Do you even keep kosher?

You might also be interested in researching the history of Voodoo, which started out as a synthesis of African beliefs and, yes, Roman Catholicism. (As Terry Pratchett puts it, Voodoo is a do-it-yourself religion, made out of whatever comes to hand.)
