I am a pathetically sensitive person and can get my feelings hurt by the way people talk to me. Probably my fault for getting so emotionally involved. I'll try to keep a cooler head.
Again, rest assured this is has nothing to do with my belief in God and everything to do with the type of person that I am.
(I do find forced marriages with children appalling as well.)
Listen, Lady. I get when most of the guys on here see your portrait they get all white knight and soften up when talking to you. You've probably noticed Randy's getting a lot more curt and blunt responses than you are but I think if you really were reading what you're typing you'd understand why people are so offended. Some of the "morality" you and Randy have posted would get me prosecuted for sharing if I did it under any other banner but "religion".
Most of us don't though. We're not being rude just for giggles, but we're genuinely horrified by some of the sentiments you two are sharing. I know I am.
I am sorry that people are offended by my views on morality. Just so everyone is aware, the only reason I am posting my views on morality is because I am being asked to share my views on it. I think some people might be assuming that because I think a particular act is wrong, I then conclude that the people who do it are bad people. Or that I go around condemning people or preaching or trying to get them to follow my views. None of these is the case. I'm just a person answering questions that are being asked to me in regards to my opinions/beliefs. Not asking anyone to agree.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
