My views on objective morality

[Catholic_Lady]

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.

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.

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?

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?

Sorry if my responses aren't up to your standards.

My standards are only to have an actual discussion.

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.

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.

Tone can be hard to determine via text. Obviously I have 0 problem with people not liking what I'm saying, and telling me they don't like what I'm saying. Sometimes though, you come off very harsh and hostile and it feels like I'm being attacked by someone with a strong dislike for me... not just someone who doesn't agree with me. This wouldn't bother me with some people here, but it bothers me with people I've been friendly with outside of forum topics, because then I can't tell if I'm ok/friends with the person or if they hate me. That's what prompted my response. But you're saying that's not the case, so at this point I have no reason not to believe you. Just my incorrect perception I guess. My apologies.

For the record, I wouldn't have answered that question you asked me any differently if the Oscars weren't on. That was my answer. I did have to go back and edit due to grammatical errors and adding a few things to make it better, but the answer itself would not have changed. What upset me is that I thought I was being considerate by taking the time to answer even though I was having time with my husband, only to be told I'm being dismissive for it. I was trying not to get too far behind because it's impossible to catch up when I do. 

As for the dishonesty thing, sorry that I misunderstood. It sounded like you meant I wasn't being sincere or like I avoid controversial topics, which bugged me because it couldn't be further from the truth. I read too quickly and made assumptions that I shouldn't have made.
