I am cooked and toasted and burned all the time on this forum and it bounces off me..come on... its just a good healthy debate..shucks...I really feel bad.. Yeah I know it was a joke ...just playing around with the Nutella. Was not aiming it at you... just noting in general..sorry. [/quote] I have no problem with a good healthy debate. I got the impression that you were preaching at me, though, which is something entirely different from a debate. I can take a lot of things, but having people preach at me or condemn me for something when they really know nothing about me is not one of them. This is why I try to avoid doing this to others. My sensitivity to this comes from my experiences in Korea with "radical" Christians. I've had complete strangers come up to me and tell me what I do or do not believe. Take this conversation, for example: Complete Stranger: Accept Jesus as your Savior! Me: Uh, I'm a Christian. CS: In my experience, a lot of Americans say that they are Christians when they are really not. Me: In my experience, a lot of Korean Christians are judgmental and jump to conclusions about people they don't know. CS: ... I was chased around Shinchon (a university neighborhood) one night by a mob of picket-wielding Christians screaming at me that I was going to Hell, presumably because I was a white guy in Shinchon at night. Maybe it was the earring I was wearing, but I doubt they could see it in that light. So yeah, I'm a bit sensitive about being judged and preached at. I may not be perfect, but I try to live my life through Christ. And I try my best not to go around judging others. It's hard, because I think it is human nature to judge, but I do my best in Christ. Don't feel bad, and don't try to make me feel bad for getting offended (yeah, I caught the whole "I get crap slung at me all the time and it doesn't bother me" routine). Like I said, there's a difference between an intellectual debate and preaching at someone. But ultimately there are no hard feelings. That's way too many words on the subject. I'll leave it alone now. Loading...
