'Exorcism' victim Wins Compensation

It's a shame that people who claim to be Christian are anything but. Jesus taught to not to judge and look down on people ,yet myself and others I know have been from this particular church judged, and treated terribly. You see them in the street, although this has reduced lately shouting fire and brimstone at people.

Each to His / Her own

As long as they don't try to preach their beliefs to me or anyone else

I say leave them alone

Unwarranted??? There's been some horrific comments on here that have since been deleted, ripping to shreds my (and others) core values, then Ranald calls me a professional offence taker who is throwing a wobbly (again removed since I reported that abuse).

I don't push religion down anyone's throat, I generally keep it to myself, but I have a right to be angry at the absolute abuse that has been gleefully dished out on this thread.

I don't care what people believe, but I would never be so evil and hateful to rip that person's beliefs to shreds with a huge ****-eating grin on my face.

I would never call someone a professional offence taker or accuse them of throwing a wobbly for defending their values.

I suffered so much abuse in my past and part of that is for my beliefs, beliefs that I have never pushed on others but beliefs I hold dear.

Imagine if I viciously attacked these people for their core values... That would be truly unwarranted 😡

I don't know if I can explain with words that appear meaningful, I can only say that words can indeed hurt, even if there was no intent to cause that hurt.

If you don't have a belief, then of course you might not understand if another feels, that on a disability forum of all places, that words can indeed cause great upset.

Someone who's suffered abuse in the past, well that too can bring the unwelcome past back, so in everything we say we have to be careful how we say it, as I don't think anyone usually means to say the wrong thing.

This forum matters to me enormously & I've received abusive comments in the past. I can assure that this does indeed hurt, & made me want to take time away from the forum, which I have done. These comments were nothing to do with religion, but any upset is very unpleasant.

When it's something that really matters to you; something that's a part of you, then unintentional hurt really was caused to @Wheeled_Weapon. I wonder how you know that 'most of us have a healthy scepticism' @WhatThe; I certainly haven't got a clue.

Surely this is who we are, disabled people united together despite our different disorders, & showing understanding about any different opinions we may have. I don't think discussions about religion, or any other matter should be shut down, & no reason for that to happen, so long as we show respect to each other.

As the Dalai Lama says, ''Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.''
