Reply #342: Perhaps I should have said "please"? [View All]

Really, I wasn't trying to scold, just to ask for some consideration. You may be surprised to know that I absolutely love "Life of Brian" and "Dogma." They poke fun at aspects of Christianity but they don't do it in a hateful way. They are good-natured, not nasty. I don't object to folks having other ideas about religion, I just object to it being done in a mean-spirited way. Although unfortunately, on message boards people do tend to voice their opposition to someone else's opinion in mean-spirited ways. It really doesn't matter what the subject is.It just seems to happen very strongly on threads mentioning Christianity, and that's what I was addressing in this thread. Folks on this thread are giving me a hard time for expressing my reaction (and calling it scolding them), but the responses folks get when they say something positive about Christianity often scold them for talking about it, if not just for believing.

And yes, folks here would like my politics much better. :-)
