Hello, I am a mother of four children and a grandmother of 5 so far. I have been married for 35 years to the same man. We live in Australia.
I like to debate about religious doctrines. My other hobbies are needlework , gardening and some graphic art.

I was brought up in an agnostic home and came to believe in what the bible calls God after I left home at a young age. I have been studying the bible and religious doctrines for over 40 years.

I do not belong to any religion but have been to a few churches to learn what they teach and have discovered most religions teach falsehoods and doctrines which make no sense at all. I like things to make sense.

I have been on other debate groups which were run by professing Christians as well as in some which were run by unbelievers in God. I have found that most people, christian and nonchristian alike, refuse to consider or understand anything at all which is contrary to their own beliefs.

I believe in truth and from my experience I have found that very few people will tell the truth or accept the truth especially when that truth tends to offend them.

Most people are brought up with the concept that it is rude to speak the truth and we must not tell the truth at all when it hurts peoples feelings but we are supposed to say things which they like to hear, which are things that tickle their ears and stroke their egos. When people don't follow that "political correctness" then they are generally treated as an outcast and not accepted by the rest of the group. It makes no difference if that group is Christian or not. They have the same basic principles of casting out anyone who refuses to stoke their egos and who tells the truth about what they are thinking and calls a spade a spade.

People hate being offended and can't stand the truth which offends. They prefer to hear polite lies and hide the truth. In my opinion that makes most people hypocrites regardless of whether they are believers in God or not. Why ? Because most people will tell you they do want to hear the truth of what you are thinking but when it comes down to telling them what you are really thinking they hate it and don't want to hear it at all and end up rejecting you for offending them with truth.

So how many people really want to know the truth of what others think and how many want to have their egos stroked with political correctness?

I can see and understand both sides of most things and can therefore debate both sides of most things so I am very flexible, yet very stable and balanced in my beliefs.

I look forward to interacting with those who chose to debate with me.
