I believe there are very clear guidelines as to handle differences between people who right or wrong, believe they are “Christians”.

I do not believe it is meant to be done in a public forum but in a private manner and with a loving heart.

How can you EVER affect change- even if you are trying to point out to someone the flaws you see in their faith, when all you do is publicly ridicule their religion and so embarrassingly point out the flaws?

I don’t understand what the people here have done to deserve this treatment.

This is not coming from a position of peaceful, led by piety, witnessing. This is an indictment as if there has been a religious grand jury summoned. It’s sad and to me, the antitheses of what I have been taught to believe was the message of Jesus.

I'm curious as to what your understanding of that message is. Did you hear about it on a Billy Graham telecast, or at a Bible study, or from some other person who is a Christian? Do you think it was a message for everyone or just for a specially chosen group of people, such as Catholics or Southern Baptists?

Indeed!!

I know!

Like Rush; I'm a lovable fuzzball, too; but how do I get treated?
