The Minimal Facts for the Resurrection of Christ.

Truth will remove the veils people and entities use.
If we are not cautious with our own words, we may reveal our true selves.

If someone stalks or abuses another, does it then stand to reason that the victim is also to blame and should own his or her trauma as the one who feels wronged?

Blame no, but yes, the traumatized owns the trauma. That is their responsibility to deal with.

As a child, I was beaten, concussed, and sexually abused for years. Indeed, I experienced traumatic experiences, and was traumatized afterward.

The responsibility for dealing with that trauma, and healing from that trauma, is entirely mine. 100%. There is no question of blame. It happened. There is only to accept that and move on.

I tried other ways. They do not work. Acceptance and full responsibility for trauma is the only way forward which allows for integration and healing

The “humor”utilized was a lot more than distasteful, it was disgusting and the mockery of God. If she was on a forum full of Palestinians and made the same mockery of Allah, people would understand the offense taken. But that’s just my personal opinion, ofc.

It’s all opinion. There are no special cases or classes. That some may feel more offended is immaterial.

Some things are just jokes and indeed the offense can then lay with the offended.

This was not that.

And that’s your opinion.

Others will agree, or not, in accordance with their opinion.

Cheers,

I also experienced some of these, and am sorry - nonetheless that you had these traumas.

And yes, I also agree that while the blame is on the actual abuser, the victim is left to deal with it and heal from it. percent, accurate.

But we are talking about decorum as well here, Ian. We are on a forum in a thread discussing God, in essence. And therefore it is logical that it’s not really a good thing to do to pop in out of nowhere and mock God. For those of is with faith - it IS a special offense.

But true as well we should all have the freedom of speech which is granted us. I will not argue against this.

To me the behavior displayed says a lot more about the displayer than it does for those of us offended by it. But so is it true of abusers.

True enough, but it remains a matter of opinion, and nothing more, regardless of how you may think or feel.

I agree that mocking is not a good idea in general, and particularly not toward people who are not reasonable, in the classic sense of faith versus reason.

To me the behavior displayed says a lot more about the displayer than it does for those of us offended by it. But so is it true of abusers.

That’s true of every expression, so I agree with you.

Cheers,
Ian
