And I thank too. Just did three minutes' silent contemplation.

That's kind of thrown me a bit, I'll drop by again later.

I'm unable to forget this day as it falls on my birthday.

RIP

I am a catholic,and I'm very proud to be so. I was remembering them in my way. You are entitled to remember this day in your way. I respect your freedom to believe or not believe. You can at least be tolerant of my beliefs.

Why are you desecrating this memorial? Can you put aside your ego to remember the dead? I wish you peace.

I wasn't addressing God.

[Brideshead]

J and chefmike. This thread is about remembering the dead, and not about discussing theology. Let all of us put aside our egos today, and practice tolerance.

i wasnt preaching anything....u did it ur way i do it mine, except urs actually does nothing but makes u look silly for talking about something u dont know like the lord and judging, whereas mine is positive and implores people to think ahead and actually make positive change..see urs discusses it, mine is real;)

I wish you peace.

I started this thread to remind people of this special day, and I have allow myself to become distracted from its purpose. To those who have lost someone to this violent expression of intolerance, I ask your pardon, and I like to write that those who have fallen will not be forgotten.

I find it horribly hypocritical that you are asking him to respect your beliefs while, at the same time, you are belittling his.

Who are you refering to?

[Castor_Troy05]

I should've been more clear, I am referring to J

[gaiseric]

I have to agree with Brideshead and Castor_Troy05 on this topic. We should remember those who have been the victims of violence purely because of their sexuality. This is not the day to become involved in an arguement about whose 'religious' beliefs are right or wrong. That arguement can never be resolved on a forum such as this.
Remembering today is a very personal issue for me as I have recently started a relationship with a TS who does a lot of travelling. It is often difficult to contact her and I have nightmares about her being found in a back alley somewhere. She's a sensible girl but I still worry.
I would therefore suggest that on today of all days, if you can't post something on this topic without having a go at someone else, maybe you should not post at all but have your own private moment of silent reflection.
