Cheers!
Here is the response from said "friend":
Quote:Ok well u celebrate Xmas so isn't that the same thing as Easter and Jesus Death and resurrection is proven maybe if u take a look in the bible once and stop being a narcostic person u could see the truth in The Lord And we will pray for you and you're sins
To which I replied with:
Quote:Actually I don't celebrate christmas as a Christian. I buy my kids stuff and we put up a tree. None of that is mentioned in the book of fairy tales (read: buy-bull).
If you actually read your bible you would know that mixing fabrics is a sin punishable by death. Eating any meat with a split hoof is a sin punishable by death. But by all means please continue to pick and choose which parts of your bible you want to believe in.
And if my speaking the truth and using logic isn't your cup of tea, feel free to move on.
Needless to say, there was no further response from her. I felt her response was a pathetic attempt at guilt tripping me for posting what I had a right to on my wall. Her comments were demeaning in nature by their dismissive tone - telling me to stop being a "narcostic" (whatever that is) person and see the truth in the lord. Really... now how is what I said exactly demeaning to anyone? I look at her response like this - she doesn't like the fact that there are people out there smart enough to question the existence of god. That there are people out there that don't buy into the hype of some sky daddy and so since she's incredibly naive she chooses to go the route of being demeaning in her comments.
