Where you, exactly, said, 'Age still finds something to make others feel small about'.
1. Are you 'now' suggesting, and claiming, that you were 'not complaining' when you said and wrote that?
2. you were 'trying to' blame 'me' for how 'you' feel, right?
But, then you might well be talking about and referring to 'another post of yours', which I was responding to.
Would you like to clarify, exactly, which post of yours I was referring to? After all there might well be a few hundred or so.
Now, if you were referring to 'that post of yours', then
Where you were complaining was in relation to how things, in Life, were not going 'the way' that you want them to.
And, where you were blaming another was in relation to God.
As can be clearly seen by your complaint, and your blaming of another.
'you' are blaming 'God' for letting the non ceasefire/warring take place.
But, I never 'look to' pick a fight with absolutely any one.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 2:48 am If you're looking to pick a fight with someone, maybe respond to something they said wrong.

Re: Dear God:
Sorry, Age. I was asking of any God that might be out there to please let the ceasefire hold. Wasn't blaming anyone as I didn't mention God as the blame for the war. I've only said how can God sit back and let things go to hell like they were. But you just assumed that I was blaming God for the war.Age wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 9:55 amGary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 2:48 amWhere in the post that you responded to did I complain and try to blame others?Age wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 2:37 am

And as far as blaming you for your response, that is no different than you blaming me for mine. Maybe stop assuming and stop blaming and stop complaining yourself if you find it annoying when others do it. BTW you have yet to demonstrate how I am responsible for the current wars. I asked you that before and you said you couldn't give evidence. Maybe you should look in a mirror once in a while, Age, before you go around picking argument by admonishing others.

If you are asking God to let the ceasefire hold, then this implies that God was causing the non ceasefire to happen or occur.
Obviously if one can let some thing hold, then, if that thing is not holding, then 'that one' has let that thing not hold.
Well if you believe that God can let things happen, then this means you also believe that God can not let things happen. Which then means you are, (although it was too subtle for you to have previously noticed), blaming God for letting things 'go to hell'.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 10:30 pm I've only said how can God sit back and let things go to hell like they were.

Take some initiative. And, even if you do not, yet, know how to stop and prevent all wars, then, again, take some initiative, and responsibility, and seek to learn what is needed.

Re: Dear God:
Yes, it's the fault of everyone else out there who, unlike you, doesn't "accept responsibility" for all the wars going on. Whatever it means to "accept responsibility" that is. We protest them, we voice our disapproval of our leaders, we speak out against them. But that isn't enough. We must do this thing "accept responsibility" for them. Do we pour holy water on our heads to anoint us with "responsibility"? Or how is this responsibility "accepted"?
