very much generalizing, very much biased your statement,
in my opinion.
We know it is not all. Yet you insult and attempt to hurt all Christians.
Perhaps they don't deserve that.
Perhaps some are getting what they do not deserve from you.
Maybe.
Like I always snap back to that...
If you don't want to be lumped in with the Rick Santorums, do something to differentiate yourself. How about YOU do something to show me you're different. And by doing something, I don't mean getting in my face and saying "we're not ALL like that you know" and not standing up to the Rick Santorums of the world.

get it?
Are you speaking to me personally or generalizing again to all Christians?
And how do you know some Christians are not doing just that?
My point it is biased so say all Christians are hypocritical .... period
and a biased person is much more inclined to behave in a hypocritical manner....

not really relevant. I didn't say that. In fact I said some just whisper "we're not all like that" and hope Rick Santorum, doesn't hear them.0 -

seriously, god must be a hell of a sports fan... because if god is for your team, who could be against it?
I'm a Mets fan...."God" must hate me..........
hes doing to to test your faith(in your team)... just like he did with job.

perhaps your motto is 'do unto others as they do unto you'
I don't know
but that kind of thinking makes me feel doomed about our world in general

Not for me, it doesn't.
I've tried to treat people well and been rewarded with things like Proposition 8, the New Hampshire Government voting to repeal and dissolve all same-sex marriages, the State of Oklahoma reinstating DADT for their national guard, laws passed in Michigan and Alabama with BROAD Christian support that say it's OK to bully a teenager to death and call him "faggot" so long as you say "but that's what God wanted me to do" and Rick Santorum riding high in the polls based only on his "arrest and jail gay people for having sex in the privacy of their own homes."
Let's maybe mention Christians picketing a community theater performance of RENT because there's a gay person with HIV in it.
I'm sick and tired of being the the one who treats others how I want to be treated while they shit on my head with abandon. Fuck. That. Shit.
Tell you what... you go attack the vast majority of Christians who support all the bullshit above and I'll stop spitting on Christians, pissing on their churches, calling their kids "victims" and asking Catholics how much of their money goes to the Pedophile Legal Defense Fund.
Deal?0 -
looks as if god is a patriots fan after all.....just as i had suspected...."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Deal?
and no better than them
hate perpetrates more hate
one might think you would be better than those people just to be better
and to make a better world
then to lower yourself to insults and attacks
we are doomed when this is our world0 -

pandora wrote:well I guess you are treating others the way you want to be treated

This sentence makes no sense whatsoever. not even if you read it backwards in the mirror. What are you talking about?hate perpetrates more hate
I hope you also say this to Christians who attack me and my family for kicks.one might think you would be better than those people just to be better
and to make a better world
Good Gravy, who are you, Enya?
And why would one think I'd want to do that? To make a better world for whom? Them?
I'm sick and tired of being told to be the "better" person. I'm done with it. All it's gotten me is "treated worse."
If all my treating of people well and trying to bring on positive change with your BS hippy-dippy chicken soup for the soul has only lead to more Christians attacking me for sport, why would I want to do anything but spit on them? Hate DOES perpetuate more hate. And if they stop the hate I will stop returning it.
You get back what you give in this life... unless you're a minority, I guess.. then you get shit on and get told to "be the better person." Screw that, screw them.
And screw anyone who tells me any different.0 -
make a better world for everyone of course0

pandora wrote:make a better world for everyone of course
But... what you're telling me to do is just enable people like them to continue to attack minorities for fun and profit.
How does that make the world a better place?
I mean, I guess it makes the world a bit easier for them... not sure how that's "everyone," exactly.0 -

And are you stopping anyone or anything with more hate? No, I don't think so.
If anything everyone shuts down in the midst of hate.
I know a lot of gay people and they are not so angry ... they are not hating
just the opposite
I want people to give you
Respect
Appreciation
Forgiveness
Trust
because you deserve this
I want you to do the same for others, otherwise our world is doomed in my opinion
and no it's not easy to do ... it's damn hard for everyone.0 -

Their little rule book says "an eye for an eye."
So... they get what they give.I know a lot of gay people and they are not so angry ... they are not hating
just the opposite
My word for people like that is "doormat."I want you to do the same for others, otherwise our world is doomed in my opinion.
don't hang your baggage on me.
The state of the world is not my fault and I'm tired of being blamed for it. Don't tell me that if I don't lie down in the ditch and wait for them to come get me that it's my fault the world is doomed. I agree the world is doomed but it's because not enough of us fight back against the people like them...0 -

You are being blamed for the state of the world :? really?
the world is doomed because people can not, will not understand each other
if you want to be a part of that so be it but know and own the fact then that you
are part of the problem
I know no 'doormats' in fact they are stronger because they can love and understand
even those who they do not agree with. There is no need to retaliate nor provoke
change comes from understanding, deaf ears fall upon the offensive.0 -
