Being blocked

I have now been blocked by three Christians on this site.

The reason given by the third is that I have been "abusive", this 26 times! I suppose our perception of exactly what constitutes abuse is very subjective.

I have simply suggested, in reasonably polite language, that said Christian does not in fact represent the only "true" knowledge of Christ, does not in fact walk the "only" way. That in fact there is a Universal Christ beyond anyone's personal experience and understanding.

This appears too hot to handle which I find regrettable.

They are among the most easily offended people.

@LeopoldBloom Yes. To be honest, I have mental health issues. I can be vulnerable at times. Said Christians have on other forums called me liar, hypocrite and even once, the Antichrist himself! The suggestion/implication that I am damned has often lurked in the background.

Yet, I have found with Nietzsche that what does not destroy us makes us stronger.

@Tariki Nietzsche had a few choice words about Christianity, too. But my favorite after being married for over 30 years is that marriage is a long conversation.

@LeopoldBloom 43 years here!...Early on I was often chastised (gently) as not talking enough, so perhaps my "conversation" hasn't yet been as long as your own...😀

Sue Prideaux on Nietzsche (from her biography of him "I Am Dynamite"):-

[i]One must be fleet of foot; one must dance. Life was not simple. If, one day, man would dare construct an architecture corresponding to the nature of the soul, that architect would have to take the labyrinth as the model. To give birth to a dancing star, one must first have chaos within. Inconsistency, changes of mind and urges to wander were a duty. A fixed opinion was a dead opinion, a made-up mind was a dead mind, worth less than an insect; it should be crushed underfoot and utterly destroyed.
[/i]

Whatever Nietzsche said of Christians, as I see it many simply stop "dancing" and replace a [i]Living Word[/i] with a dead text. They judge our world, themselves and others, by a "formulae" - one of "justice" and "consistency", leaving no room for mercy, for the unexpected, the true gifts of God.
