Ignorance on Facebook

[Deleted]

This supposed "spiritual" Facebook page has posted a negative commentary on gender transition (with Bruce Jenner at the center of it). They also posted a video by one of my favorite speakers, Mark Passio, as if it was defending their opinion. They seriously have no idea what Passio's message is. The video is called "New Age Bullshit and the Suppression of the Sacred Masculine" and not once did he ever talk about trans identity. I told them that posting a link to the video was no different than Christians quoting Leviticus as if to defend their stance on homosexuality. I posted a couple of quotes, too, and they deleted all of it!! Go give em your own two cents!!

Facebook is the repository for the minds of trolls. It is a lake of knowledge that is vast in it's size, shallow in it's depth.
It is the place of cat pictures and memes that are but anothers thoughts put on someones idea of a pic they think captures it's essence.
The dumping ground for all miscellaneous that come from the minds of conspiracy theorists who don't know what a theory is.
It is the flotsam and jetsam of useless arguments, the left overs of reasonable conversation.
It is the emotional black hole. It's ads for your local convenience store telling you to click here for your free freezy.
The battle ground for words, the start of many a family argument because Uncle Bob's writing is never quite what he meant it to say.
It is the cookie dough of life with chips of stupidity strewn throughout it, waiting to be baked into yet another false truth.
See what kinds of things come to mind for simply thinking about it?
It is the no-mans land between the trenches of everyone opinions, and has no clear cut reason for it's actual existence, other than it simply is Facebook.
But it is a rather fun place to lead the trolls in life on to yet other ridiculous tangent of oddity that is their normal.
As such, it is a great place to realize that your own life has so much more self worth than anything a person could reasonable expect to find there.

Best to always ignore the ignorant and go on with your day! I have a problem with those who presume to speak for G-d. One of the questions in the Minnesota-multiphasic psychological test that is usually administered to people applying for responsible positions is, "Do you feel that you are a special agent from G-d?" Hah, surprising the number of people who get that one wrong, BREEEEEP you're outa here! Makes me think of The Blues Brothers! Yeah ignore those kinds of people, don't respond and let them wallow in the vacuum they created with that comment.

It's sad, but I have to at least make an attempt to enlighten. Even if they don't listen, a seed is still planted.

The thing is, nobody in the world really knows for sure what they believe. We simply do, because it's comforting. No matter what any holy book may say, or what experiences we have that "reenforce" our beliefs, or what new revelations we may have; there's only one thing that lets us know if we're on the right track, and that's our intuition. Too many people ignore it in favor of what the vicars say, what the Bible says, and so on. Egoic conviction puts blinders on us, so we go on espousing things that feed it. Nobody likes to be wrong, so we rarely acknowledge when we are either for the embarrassment or because our egos will be smashed.

It continues to bewilder me how so many people would rather cling to the doctrines of antiquity instead of embracing the ever-present and timeless force of Love. No matter what religion we choose or what spiritual avatar we admire, Love trumps all.

I looked over more of their posts. Whoever is running that page is disgusting. They criticise homosexuality and transgender identity purporting that God doesn’t make mistakes, then turns around and say how much they embrace all people.

This delusion that humans are perfect creations needs to be smashed. The human being is susceptible to thousands of genetic anomalies from developmental conditions, biological mutations and psychological diseases. We are FAR from perfect.

How we end up coming into the world has no relevance to “sin”. Some people are born with the predisposition for same sex attraction; some are born with the body of one gender and the brain of another; some are born as Primary Psychopaths; some are born with various levels of autism; and on and on it goes.

It’s how we choose to live our lives that matters, not the fact that we exist at all. The people behind this page should probably EVOLVE themselves before making a fest out of the idea. They should be ashamed.

The amount of damage I have from this anti gblt stuff is horrific.

I'm out of here before it destabilizes me again.

Was praying about this this morning. Couldn't connect on it, connected instead on recovery and moving on from it.

That's the only way to go about it.

Facebook has been losing my interest very quickly lately. It is boring, filled with repetitive posts and the same ol' catty arguments between friends that never seem to let up. I only use it to keep in contact with high school friends but I can contact the close, important ones via other ways (emails, txt messages, etc.) so I may as well delete my Facebook account as like Ativan says, emotional black hole is a very accurate description for Facebook.

I dont have it.  Its a privacy thing with me, I dont want it.  I dont go on it.  The forum is plenty for me, my second home.
