Psalm 25:19 “See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!“

Despite my agnosticism I have joined several Christian Groups on-line. Motive: Intellectual and Spiritual inspiration and to keep the old noggen occupied with things that interest me. Plus, because I am a Christian, and belong in the Christian Community on-line.

I am not very well liked in those Groups. I would dare say that I am quite hated and feared. Except for a few, a very few, people either ignore me, call me names or do their best to silence me. The most recent technique they employ is to bump (yes, just “bump” – with no content…) other threads in which I have not posted, so that my threads or threads where I have posted disappear from the “most recent discussions” roster.

It is very effective in depriving people of what, if only little, I have to contribute, nfortunately for those people employing this technique, I have seen through it and have decided to “bump” my threads that very same way.

Another technique is to start a thread with almost the same title as one I have started. One woman did this just the other day, simply because she disliked the way the discussion was turning, and felt that what I had to say about Psalm 51:5 wasn’t her cup of tea. Or as she expressed it “un-Christian”.

A third manner in which these people try to silence me is by calling me almost every name in the “Christian Book Of Name-Calling”:

Unbeliever, foolish, deceived by the devil, not born again, not enlightened by the Spirit, false prophet, Christ-denier and other “nice things”…

One poster even came in and suggested that I was dangerous to the community…

I believe, they said the same about Huss, Calvin, Luther, Schartau, Laestadius and others who didn’t write according to the opinion of the majority. It seems I am in good company
