The Catholic church isn't wed to the bible in the same way. Doesn't mean it isn't ever deserving of criticism. But since every adult is entitled to their own opinion on such matters there is no call to be overbearing about it. No one has authority over what anyone else may believe. If anyone cares about changing minds, they will do better to give and earn respect.
I agree. But they're entitled to be assholes too. I think, when you've been affected by horrible things, certain beliefs on certain topics make your emotions get the best of you. When someone says X thing about X topic, my knee jerk reaction is to think you're a fucking monster. Doesn't mean they are or that I even think they really are. Debates just get crazy sometimes. I, personally, don't like to let things from a heated debate affect my opinion of anyone else. Parenting debates for instance I've had thoughts about people where for an instance before I take a deep breath I think what kind of sick child abuser am I talking to here. I think everyone in this thread should take a deep breath and just drop the drama. You're right, it's better not to be mean but that's life and it's over. Time for a group hug.
