Allow me to be a spectacle once again as I come back. Let me re-direct this more towards you, though, cause there is something here that really confounds me.
This may be a little more directed at swimboy other than yourself, but between the two of you, you seem to be the one that gives an answer that is more than just throwing a bomb and running away. At least you give some intellect and thought to your statements rather than just spewing hate.
You know, if I were a black or hispanic or another member of a minority group, and I was being attacked on here just for being that minority, then you and swimboy would probably be the first in line to defend me. If I were a homosexual or lesbian, and I was coming under attack on here for being gay, then I bet you and swimboy would be the first in line to defend me. And all that is well and good. But nope, I’m a Christian who professes to believe in God, and you know what? You and swimboy are indeed the first in line…not to defend me, but to attack and vilify me. You don’t know me or Bob from Adam (no pun intended)…the only thing you do know about me is that I believe in God - yet, you attack that - and that is the sole basis of the attacks! Anyone who has read swimboys posts on this matter can see the pure hatred and bitterness that he has towards us only because we are Christians. Your attacks aren’t nearly as vile, but they are attacks none-the-less. I don’t condemn you for being a non-believer and I haven’t attacked you for making that choice. If thats what you choose, then so be it. But where does the bitterness come from? What is it rooted in? Why does my Christianity and personal relationship with Christ eat so badly at you? Thats something that I just can’t seem to wrap my tiny little mind around!
