How about those of us who aren't like-minded with you? That would
be almost everyone on the Earth.

You see, we know that Pollyanna died of thirst because she
wouldn't allow it to rain in her world.

You keep saying this, but who doesn't like rain? This weekend here has
been raining, and it's peaceful and cool and melting the snow. Just because
people believe in creating their own reality doesn't mean they can't and
won't have contrast in it.
Have you ever read the story POLLYANNA? She had a hard life, orphaned
as a child, and went to live with her mean, old maid aunt (who didn't like
children at the start, and looked at the bad and gloomy side of everything)
Pollyanna played a game where she looked for the good and was grateful and
appreciated everything she could. And this is what she attracted more of
into her life.
At the end everyone (even the Aunt) was happier and had more joy. And
what is the point of life if it's not to have joy? Do what you love and
feel joy and create something wonderful. If not, why bother?

Look up the word 'metaphor'.

Then consider obtaining an 8th-grade education.

I just dumped your other post to me unread.

I am not in the mood for bitchy religious fanatics this
morning.

The proof is in the pudding: I have yet to meet an ACIM
follower who hasn't turned out to be an asshole.

And, I have met (online) one (or more) people exactly like you, using the
same words, terms and expressions (in attempts to put someone else down) I
don't know if there can be anyone else exactly the same, but if you are't oe
of them using a different fake name, apparently there i.
I don't usually block people, because I feel there's something to learn
from all, but had blocked you. Not that I don't and can't learn from you,
like it's a waste of time trying to discuss a TOPIC with you, when you keep
turning it into how you see me, as a person.
I recently reformatted and reinstalled Windows and got the newsgroup in
all over again, so you were no longer blocked.
I think in this case the lesson I learn from you (in all your many fake
personalities and names) is, it's not judgemental (in a bad way) to block
someone and not waste time going in circles with them) It's just a choice.

Carrie? I am not going to let you bitch at me again.

You are boring.

You are as boring as ACIM is repulsive.

Christianity stinks, whether it's called Catholocism or A Course
In Miracles.

I am not the first and surely the second.

If we were just going to agree, would it be a real discussion?

What if she really does agree? Do you want her to lie just for discussion?
I'm sure you will come up with something she won't agree with if you keep
trying.

Good you found the newsgroup. It has been more active in the past, kind of
died out for awhile, but now coming back to life (I think) Of course it is a
usenet group and unmoderated with no rules (though some try and moderate it
and enforce rules) Don't be discouraged by this, overall it is a great place
to practice and learn. We can't always have just "nice" people around us in
the world, and as the course says "what isn't love is fear and a call for
love". What I have learned about this, sometimes when someone calls for
love (in what seems like a mean spirited- attacking way) they aren't open to
receiving it in an open way back,. Sometimes the most loving (and peaceful)
way is to just let them be. Accept and allow. And make our choices (whether
we tie in with them or not) around this.
It isn't the words that teach.
Will be nice to have someone here to talk ACIM with, and maybe this
(joining) will attract more and more back. I know some of the regulars from
over the years still check in.
So, joining you back from northern VT USA....(where it's sill cold and
we have some in the shadey places, but at some point mud season will turn
into Spring. I thinik Spring was on a Tues last year (LOL)
