First again, I dont think what Elsie did was with malice so of course I would have no trouble using tongue in cheek humor. Each of us has different personalities. People are different, Christians are different. I especially will give my Christians friends the needle by stating...I better not listen to this music around you..I'd hate for you to lose your faith or stumble.
They understand it and they "get it".
I certainly could be in the same positition as Elsie...as someone being blamed for others loss of faith. Thats their perception then and it would be difficult to defend myself from it. I dont believe the premise and such dont believe his "blaming" is just.
Daily around here I may get insulted and even so much so that I lose all faith in humanity.
Should I moan, groan, whimper and cry each day blaming people for making me lose my faith in humanity.
Of course not, its silly...and so is this blame game narby and others have with Elsie.
Anyone in a similar position (who loses their faith) did not lose their faith becuase of a person...theyve decided to walk away from the Lord by their own choosing. Anyone can, we all have a free will. When you post a picture of Elsie twisting the arm of narby forcing him to sign a Christianity release card...well then I may get upset. It depends on how nice narby was to me that week. (joke, joke, joke)
A very interesting perspective, and one I don't share.
To me faith is important, I don't joke about someone losing theirs. If they think something I did had a negative impact on them I will do the best I can to ameliorate the situation.
At the very least I will express sympathy when it happens "on my watch" so to speak. And anyone who jokes about it will be called out.
