Gay group discriminates against Bisexuals

I think you're just playing a role. A self induced one. Or, perhaps, you're 110 y/o. That'd explain a lot.

Reread your post this morning. I do not understand the notation "110 y/o." However, you either made an astute observation or a lucky guess but, I am a man of many roles.

One of my professors in grad school, many years ago, remarked that I have a multifaceted personality. One of the great truths I wish to pass on to others is that we all have subdued facets that we can develop. Don't just live one choice.

The challenge is to explore all that God has in store for you. If you avoid sin the choices are unlimited. If you choose a sinful path it enslaves you and you get stuck there.

You must be tenacious. When you make a new choice stick with it for one year. In so doing you will learn something new. Think of your skydiving activity as an example.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

So if I am working at a place that is very discriminatory against women, and I claim that I have a problem because of the way they are treating me, then I am projecting. What I really should do is accept that my "problem" is being a woman and not expect others to take responsibility for that problem?

Here, see if this helps.

Sometimes people demand wholehearted embracing and call it tolerance. A workplace or website being built around the requirements of a particular set of beliefs (e.g. requiring everyone to participate in a prayer that they don't believe in because the majority does) is not tolerance, it's embracing. Not permitting active proselytizing in the workplace is not rejection, it is, instead, respect for those who might not want to be proselytized.

Those people also can confuse tolerance with rejection.

. . . When you cry out that the other person(s) is/are at fault you are declaring yourself to be a victim. . . . The reality of SC is that I have been less than welcomed. . . . The key is to understand the enemy.

I don't know. When you talk about others not welcoming you and calling them "the enemy," it sure sounds like you're playing the victim.

A year ago I started participating with the goal of discussing Christian fellowship with other believers and those who were interested in Christian faith. I have 47 years experience with the sport and started the Christian Skydivers Association 23 years ago. I believe I have something to offer.

I think it's great that you have had the CSA going for so long, and that Christian skydivers are able to have a fellowship together. Perhaps a forum on that website (rather than a skydiving website) would be a better place for "discussing Christian fellowship" (beyond what is related to skydiving). I find Speaker's Corner an odd choice for this, since it is obvious to anyone who spends a little bit of time here that most come in here for argument or banter. (And since you provide a bit of that, I doubt that you are unwelcome here. ) Though I suppose SC is a good place to perpetuate the idea that Christians are always persecuted, since most in here seem to be non-Christian and will argue against it.

And for the most part, I have respect for Christianity. The basic idea behind it seems to be one of goodwill toward others. And it has mostly grown with the times regarding civil rights. There is unfortunately still some bigotry in the teachings, but perhaps that will go away in a couple of generations.

As I recall it at RB #1 Vince got pretty insistent until someone offered to step outside with him for 15 minutes to help him "get qualified"

Hmmm! There are some things that even *this* organizer doesn't know about.

If you are uncomfortable in your workplace, as I have been, I believe it is your responsibility to make the change for your comfort. When you cry out that the other person(s) is/are at fault you are declaring yourself to be a victim.

And that's a problem, is it?

Because, once again, that Christophobia article you posted explicitly stated that you were a victim, and that didn't seem to be a problem.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?
