Booted for Saying "Bless You"
Personal | 3/31/13 | Slslady1

Posted on 03/31/2013 8:28:36 PM PDT by slslady1

So today, on this Holiest of days, in remembrance of our Lord who sacrificed his life for our sins, I was booted from a supposed Free speech political discussion group for telling someone who was alone today, "Bless You". True, it was a blessing to a progressive, yet supposedly an American. It's not like I was wishing God's blessing on someone from an alternate religion. Anyone from another religion would understand the well wishes of "Bless you", anyone but an atheist, and even then, their disparity would be vociferously pronounced. So when did it become a sin to wish someone blessings? I guess according to many liberal haters and their hatespech keepers who forgive their trasgressions, yet hold conservatives to a "higher" standard, it is now a sin to confer ANY religious connotation toward them. May the Lord forgive our tresspasses, as we forgive those who tresspass against us, seems to have been forgotten by many who profess to support conservatism.

They hate God because He loves them. In their arrogant sin, they see His love as pity and it outrages them in their impotence.

Shake the dirt from your sandals and move on. Give a prayer daily for a nationwide Damascus Road moment.

It is getting much worse. It will get much worse still. The great falling away. Happening so fast, my ears pop.

Your free speech is limited, lawfully, by the owner of the private property you were on.

FK em. I’ve had it with the terrible state of my own friends who are calling me some of the most vile names that I don’t recognize.

My arm is getting better and I’m going to chuck every last one of them.

Two more months and it’s over.

They want you to conform to their politically-correct rules. What do YOU want?

Suggest he seek treatment for his integumentary deficit.

I’m Jewish, and I just say thank you when people wish me a Merry Christmas / Happy Easter / whatever. Some people are too full of themselves.

No.

The useful idiots among them hate God because they've been told it's cool and fashionable to hate God. It's really no more difficult than that.

The true believers among them, however, hate God because they believe that the only higher power in the peasant's lives should be the state.

Maybe you should have said “Bless your heart.”

Where was this political discussion held? Who exactly booted you out and what did he say to justify his action?

.. as we forgive those who tresspass against us ..

That's always struck me as giving too much wiggle room to those unlikely to be too bothered by ignoring your inherently endowed boundaries.

More clarity is called for, eg:  'don't F with me/mine and I won't kill you'

Such a policy would not only improve the quality of day-to-day civility, but also save tax $ by reducing the need for 12,387 flavors of cops in our lives.

Forgive him, as you would have God forgive you.

And pray for him; they HATE that!

I handle this by trying to make an effort to not speak to lefties.

No use trying to be kind because they always bite.

The same reason why the Liberals are trying to keep us from displaying the Holy Family and the manger during the Christmas season, or preventing us from referring to it as Christmas at all.

They march under a banner of religious tolerance, but what they don’t tell you is that it’s religious tolerance for everyone but Christians.

They hate God because they think they are God.
