I realize this is an off topic forum but I think religion is a touchy subject. These beliefs reside deep within a persons makeup and remain extremely personal and important to them. Just a suggestion but maybe we can leave religion off this forum so no one get bent feelers.
I agree - religion and politics are touchy subjects. I replied to another "hijacked post" with great hesitation (at first) because of that fact. I don't post a lot. When I do, it's because I believe strongly in what I'm writing.
There are many times when a thread starts off with a different intent, and folks have to redirect it to either "stir the pot", or place thier personal agenda in the spotlight.
I won't deny anyone the right to have and express thier own feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them. BUT I don't appreciate people repeatedly
"hijacking threads" or making
"blanket statements" that are disrespectful, inflammitory or insulting - to anyone.
It's easy to be ignorant or brave behind a monitor...... it's another matter entirely when standing face-to-face with someone. Maybe people should type as if they're talking to others
in person. If they did, they might present thier
opinions in a
respectful way.
