Have Faith, But Don’t Push It On Me
Posted by: branwynne77 on: November 20, 2008
I normally don’t comment on religious (or political) blogs….mostly because when I do, I usually end up with a lot of “YOU ARE WRONG AND ARE GOING TO HELL.” Another way to phrase it is: If you don’t believe as I do, you are going to perdition.
That gets old after awhile, and honestly, attitudes like that have turned me off to what they have to say. They could be the most intelligent person in the world, but the INSTANT they result to juvenile tactics to get the upperhand on an argument, I just shut down and ignore them. I refuse to cater to their need to …utterly beat down and dominate someone else for having different opinions and beliefs.
I need to stop reading those kind of blogs….they upset my stomach with their fanatism. I better stick to Sister Mary Martha for my religious enlightment. At least she’s funny and witty and has a strong belief in her God—without belittling others.

I know what you mean. There is a blog called conservatives4calvinsim or something like that. I read it on occasion, but it does nothing but anger me. Not just because I think some of their beliefs are off the wall (everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions) but there is a lot of hate spewed on it, and a lot of “why do you hate America” when one mentions something that goes against their belief system. I’m all for intelligent discussion about issues, whether they are political, religious, or about more non-nonsensical topics like why Star Wars is better than Star Trek, but I would like a genuine, well thought-out and reasoned response. Not just, you’re going to hell, or you seem to like Obama so why do you hate America?
