A Good, Bad or Average Theory What's The Difference?

Really?  What happened to The Land of Nod?

He had children.

He had children.

Who had children?  And with whom?

Absolutely right.  But basically it is a knowledge of the use of words which some people on this Forum don't have.  Probably to do with lack of education, so not actually their fault.  And it can be quite hard work in choosing words carefully.
Why bother when mocking someone is so much more fun.

I'm inclined to disagree with you, as I think most people who post on here are fairly well educated, although the less educated often use unusual words in an attempt to look smarter than they are.
Perhaps they subscribe to Readers Digest 

What I find  more striking is the woefully poor comprehension skills so often displayed here.

a persons beleif is part of their persona...Its not possible to mock someones beliefs and not mock the person

I think that post is absolute rubbish... It's our beliefs that make us who we are.  People don't just believe in the bible... They are Christians

Well that didn't take long.

[Mr Gray]

Well that didn't take long.

Theres no contradiction... Mock my beliefs and you mock me... Difference is I'm not particularly bothered... I actually find you particularly inoffensive... Hope that doesn't offend you

Do you understand what comprehension means...

That still supports the fact that our beliefs define who we are

Some people are inclined to believe certain things, others are not. I was raised a Christian, but I'm not one now. It's who we are that defines what we believe imo.

You agree with what I've said but don't seem to realise imo.  You don't believe smoking causes cancer.   That is a stupid belief in mine and most people's opinion.  How do you think that reflects on you as a person. It's our beliefs that define us as people

[The General]

Really insightful post deleted on sight. Why?
On topic, touching on all elements of the thread, answering the question - gone.

Sad.

So you say we are what we believe. I say the opposite and you think we're agreeing?

It's our behaviour which defines us as people. I learned that when I watched and listened to the nastiness and hypocrisy that church - goers can display.

Its our behaviour which defines us and its our beliefs that govern our behaviour. That really is quite simple. There are posters here who beleive the mccanns have lied...are hiding something...have covered up maddies death....and those beliefs govern their behavior towards the mccanns ....and then their bevavior defines then as people.

beliefs govern behaviour...that is a simple fact

Some people give their life savings to scammers. Whatever belief system they're subscribing to has clearly let them down. That's how unreliable beliefs can be. Of course in our touchy feely world we call them victims instead of idiots.

Expressing your beliefs is part of the behaviour which defines you as a person does it not?  So if someone expresses the belief (for example) that women are inferior to men then that tells us something about themselves as people, something not very credible or creditable. IMO.

You might call them idiots... I dont. Particularly old people who lose their life savings...to me they are victims...to you idiots. Thats your belief and defines what sort of person you are..to me vile beliefs equals vile person

Indeed it does - a rather unfeeling, cruel one, imo.
