18. why? why do you care. someone doesnt believe,
Edited on Wed May-17-06 07:52 PM by seabeyond
not only would you and i agree it is their right, wouldnt they come to the conclusion that it is fairy tale. if they dont believe, dont we know without them saying it out loud. so really you are saying, we get to say our belief out loud, they just are not to say their belief out loud?

why do you care. do you think it is disrespectful to christ. that you must stand up and protect. because i dont think that is what christ asks of us. he is in each and every heart, (if you believe) the believer and not. he understands why the person says what they do, feels what they do beyond what we ever could. beyond what the individual can understand.

the only way a person can be bothered by what another says about them is if they allow it to. if they own what the person gives them. why would you want to do that?

i personally feel everyone has the right to be angry at christianity right now. even the christian. i am. i am having a crisis of religion. never a crisis of faith, never a crisis with christ or god, but certainly a crisis with religion.

i prefer to embrace these people yelling in understanding that they do not believe the same as i,.... and we christians are demanding by law that they live our religion.

looking at it that way, would you be angry?

i know i would

would be like a catholic, lets say,.... telling me i am not allowed to use birth control because they dont believe in it
