I Hate ...add yours

[joyfulmother]

I hate it that more people don't find comfort in knowing God.

[donnia]

I hate the surgeon who screwed up my kidney... didn't do anything I asked him to do in preparation..... yep, hate is a strong word, and I do hate him.

There, I said it.... and mean it. 

I love my IHD family though

I hate prostelysing on a non-religious forum.

[joyfulmother]

I hate prostelysing on a non-religious forum.

  I'm sorry you think I was doing that.  I was truthfully responding to the thread - and I didn't go any farther.  Besides, by definition, that word means to try to convert.  No way was I trying to do that.

[paul.karen]

I hate people being intimidated by a word like God?? 

[Stoday]

OK, joyfulmother, prostelysing wasn’t quite the right word to express my initial understanding of your post. I was trying to be gentle with you. I do now believe you didn’t mean what you said. Moreover, I don’t think you realise what you did say, so I’ll repeat it leaving just one word out.

I hate it that more people find comfort in knowing God.

I’d like to point out that although I’m an atheist, I don’t agree with that statement. I’ve just written it to clarify how intolerant the original statement was. I’m happy that believers should find comfort in their belief; I would not dream of suggesting that I would hate them for doing so.

[joyfulmother]

I am not even sure I know what you just said.  It certainly wasn't my intention to be intolerant - again I was just simply responding to the thread.  I'll just end it all by apologizing if I offended you in any way.

[dwcrawford]

I find it unbelievably rude to criticize people for the beliefs or non beliefs in god.  Everyone here has a connection involving some interest or aspect in kidney diseases.  That's what you should be here for.  As an agnostic, if someone wishes me comfort in God I accept that wish in the manner in which it was offered.  You see, I'm not really sure and believe me, neither is anyone around.  I do not like the "hate" word bantered around so freely.  I agree that it would have sounded much better if joyfulmother had said something like "I wish that more people could find comfort in God" rather than "I hate that".  I'd like to go back and rephrase most of the comments about "hate" in here.  Even "I don't like"  would be better.  But to criticsize someones profound believe in her/his God is hateful.  I don't hate it.  I'd like to see it stop though.

I hear what you are saying and, truthfully?  I only said "I hate" because that was the way the thread was started.  I am hugely comforted by God and it is true I wish more people could be comforted in the same way.  I know I can't push it on people and I wouldn't attempt to.  Thanks for understanding what I mean.

[paul.karen]

I hate when people try to tell you what you meant to say.  Like you dont know what you said??


Becky please you were far from being intolerant and dont apologize for your feelings.

What is rude is the fact this was tossed towards you at all.

Stoday this is an open forum.  Not  a religious forum like you mentioned but it is FAR from an atheist forum as well.

Many people here actually and yes this is true.  Ask for prayers to be sent there way or to a loved one.

And why would she say as you want her to??

(I hate that more people find comfort in God )
 
That is what an atheist would say not a god loving person.

[dwcrawford]

I, too, WISH THAT people wouldn't try to tell you what they meant to say.  Oops, didn't mean to Yell.

[kitkatz]

Members of IHD.com, there is a thread for discussing religious beliefs and if God exists on this site already.  Please stay on topic.

The topic is I Hate...add yours.  Since it is in the general dialysis section, I think the author wants what you hate about ESRD, dialysis, and aspects of treatment.

Thank you.

Thanks Kitkatz.   

Although I try to be a postive person, some days I hate the whole kidney thing.

[dwcrawford]

I hate censorship when it involves the expression of ideas. 

[kitkatz]

I hate spending eight hours of my night in pain because a nerve was stuck by a giant needle.

[Jean]

There are times I would just like to smack some one who says, " But you look so healthy" Yes, I do look healthy and yes, I am active. Heck, I am not dead yet!!!

[marie]

I also HATE Dialysis .......

It's hard for me to believe in atheists. It occurs to me that possibly when a person (Atheist) is trapped upside down in a car, and the back of the car is on fire the person is thinking, "If there is somebody up there. . ." A good atheist would never think that. . . It would be "OK. I'mona die, Oh well" PRACTICAL THINKING! Then there is the God believer that's child was raped and murdered that quits believing in God . . . "How can God let this happen?. . .There is no God!." The truth is there is only degrees of doubt. The atheist has a greater ford to cross. So he has to be a greater believer than anyone of us that believe in GOD. "I'm special' I don't believe in God  nia na na nia na nia na"  But. . .

[angellady07]

I hate doctors with attitudes and huge egos. I also hate when my regular tech is off and I get some idiot who drags my needles.
 

[kitkatz]

I hate popping into dialysis at my usual time then having to wait and wait and wait for my tech to get to me.  Plus I hate the new monitor on my arm for blood leak on the arterial line. I broke the first one they put on me and I have no idea how I did it.

[dwcrawford]

I hate dialysis.... (see, you made me do it now)

I hate getting called a 6 AM to come in at 10:30 and then having to wait until 11:30 for a crappy little recliner chair and 15 more minutes for a tech.  I hate when the woman next to me coughs constantly and I wear my mask the whole time and told everybody to teach her how to cover her mouth when coughing.  I hate the  the player behind me is on the phone for the whole time trying to put the moves on woman -- all of whom are named "baby".  See!  Are you sorry you got me into the "hate" thread.  I've  got more.

[willowtreewren]

Dan,
It all depends on whether it helps you feel better or worse by venting.

If you feel better after getting it off your chest, then go for it. If you focus more on the negative by venting, then you might not want to.

There is a time and a place. This is definitely the place. 

[jbeany]

yup, what willow said.  Sometimes saying it out loud - or in this case, writing it down - can give you some control over the situation.  If it helps, then vent away.

I hate getting up at 4:30 3 days a week.  I hate when the alarm goes off, and I know that I have to get up, no matter how tired I am or how bad I feel.

[dwcrawford]

I hate dialysis.  I hate those tubes full of blood.  I hate that stupid little recliner chair.  I hate insurance/medicare fraud.

[serpico]

   I hate that everyone hates so much!

   I hope that GOD will take the hate out of your systems and fill  you with Blessings!
