These people have soured me on many aspects of Christianity, and are partly to blame for why I no longer attend church. And yet, deep down, I am a believer, and I keep looking for the light. Thanks for letting it shine on common sense.Sandra Annasandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-42649239984639693312012-12-17T19:56:06.886-07:002012-12-17T19:56:06.886-07:00Andy,

Deep down many know the product they are pushing won't compete well in an open market...so they try to muscle out the competition. <br /><br />As for me, I have complete confidence in "my product"...probably why I don't freak out...Steve H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09428882214098606433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-71708689456847831192012-12-17T18:51:42.361-07:002012-12-17T18:51:42.361-07:00Heh...

I have had that experience with posting some items - my intention was to show contempt, but the readers failed to capture my sarcasm or irony (which, admittedly is harder to catch sometimes without the benefit of tone and facial expressions).

I posted that first photo on my FB(from Matthew Paul Turner's FB) with the caption "a very ugly and sad theology." I'm pretty sure the first few people who liked it didn't see my caption, and I was abhorred that someone might actually think I agree with it. It's like we tell God "you can't come in here!" and God says, "Well okay, you crafty humans!"Corihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117156360260347721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-15584860540304555592012-12-17T12:03:34.742-07:002012-12-17T12:03:34.742-07:00Thanks for reading Jonni!

I keep finding that I maintain a delusion - that such positions are held in ignorance - that if a thoughtful explanation is given, the "Mike Huckabees" of Christianity will see. However, I find again and again it is not so... there is something nefarious going on in a person who WANTS to maintain a belief that their god is being actively rejected.<br />Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494823779999456396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-16870953118968454792012-12-17T01:35:48.933-07:002012-12-17T01:35:48.933-07:00Wow, I just spent a whole afternoon reading many o...Wow, I just spent a whole afternoon reading many of your blog posts. I de converted a few years ago and can very much relate to the process you have described. <br /><br />And yes, this particular facebook post has had me shaking my head.
