I find this sad, but this is today's reality. I like diversity, but not divisiveness. I think divisiveness is, in part, a product of intolerance. I find that tolerance of another's passions is helpful to me in moving forward happily in life without antipathy and the emotional energy depletion that surrounds negativity.

I am tolerant of some affiliations, but not of others. The key for me, again, is tolerance. I tend to be tolerant of people who are willing to be tolerant me. Of course, there are things that I am intolerant of, but I would prefer to talk about the positive. It is too easy to find the negative.

I disagree with the use of the words "the only", but I tolerate them, especially in this forum. I think passion can overwhelm discretion. Not everyone feels the need nor has the talent to craft words with delicacy and tact. Certainly, this is no great transgression.

You wrote that you would want to bring about some degree of resolution to our concerns. I am unsure as to what you mean by that.
My concern here is to save lives, prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions and bring back to those that want their life back to return the Green Fields that they used to know. It has been revealed to me how that can be done. This WAY is not by human achievement.
You see, it has been revealed o me that we are created beings that were once in a Paradise Garden to live forever, for we possessed a spirit from God that could not die. But events occurred to cause mankind to loose that spirit and we all die. And returning to The Green Fields that we used to know is accomplished by God putting that spirit back into you.
And it has been revealed to me that there are other spirits not from God. These spirits are from the devil. You can read it in the morning papers, hear it on the radio. Murder and war and death and crimes against humanity and corruption in high places and woe.
Having just an earnest of God's spirit could give those power to overcome. This power could have those in addiction or depression be able to overcome and not kill themselves from the drugs causing the addiction. This spirit is not held by Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Hindus, Islamic people and all other religions to be dolled out to people only by them. This Spirit is free and without price. I have come here to tell you how to have that Spirit come into you and I am prevented from doing so by the prohibitions to e here by Mr. Hsiung. And worse, the mind-altering drugs that are promoted here can cause this Sprit to leave, for it has been revealed me that our bodies are The Temple of this Spirit, and mind-altering drugs cause the person to be in a living death, wanting to kill themselves and others and even murder their own parents and commit mass-murder. Those are the works of the devil, not God's Spirit.
The Spirit that has been revealed to me is incompatible with the spirit of mind-altering drugs. For it has been revealed to me that the wages of mind-altering drugs is death. Whatever degree of resolution that you want to accomplish, is unknown to me, for you are promoting mind-altering drugs that has been revealed to me to be able to cause the death of a person, addict them, cause life-ruining conditions and ravaging diseases, and I am trying to bring life forever more to those here, free from addiction and the potential of having hideous consequences induced into them by the drugs that you promote. I have no resolution between life and death. It has been revealed to me to seek first this Spirit from God and more will be added to you to overcome all things.
