I like you Becca, and we've had friendly conversation in the past. But sometimes you come off seeming really pissed off and hostile towards me, seemingly out of nowhere.
Maybe it seems that way to you, but believe me, I'm not being hostile.
Quote:Not sure what to make of it, or what to make of you. Sometimes I feel like we're good, other times I feel like you hate me.
I don't "hate" you. I'm allowed to dislike things you say and express it without hating you.
Quote:And I don't like your accusation about me "avoiding" or "not being honest" about controversial topics.
Please quote me where I said you were being dishonest. I accused you of not being earnest in starting this thread. If you feel the need to edit a post five times because you're watching TV and not paying attention, there's probably a better time for you to answer a topic you seemingly take pretty seriously, is there not?
Quote:I've been 100% honest about everything I believe here regardless of how much fire I knew it would cause - abortion, homosexuality, contraception... you name it, I've talked about it.
The Catholic Church has talked about it, and you've repeated it here. Why start an entire thread if all we have to do here is look up what it says in the catechism?
Quote:Sorry if my responses aren't up to your standards.
My standards are only to have an actual discussion.
Quote:This site is a fun thing for me more than anything else. I'm not going to stop my life for it.
Dude. YOU started the thread. No one's asking you to stop your life. I'm only asking that you do what you implied you would when you started a thread about your own beliefs: answer questions when you're actually involved with the forum; not when you're watching the Oscars. Again, this is a topic that, according to your own views, affects eternal life for everyone, right? Don't you think we deserve a little more attention for something so dire? That is my entire point.
Quote:It's the weekend, my husband is sitting next to me and we've been chilling out and watching the Red Carpet all day. I tried to take the time to respond a little bit to some of your questions, as I am now while the Oscars are on. Being told I'm just basically blowing people off or being dishonest is not fun.
Again, point to me where I said you were being dishonest.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
