A fair and honest answer. Sometimes when I'd stuck for an answer, I don't even say that much. (Maybe hoping people will think I know the answer, but am just keeping it to myself.) |

I think the part that's confusing everyone is why you called On Fire for Christ's posts a "troll job" and then told him to grow up. It seemed bizarrely hostile. Did you only react to the title and not actually read the reasons? They're intentionally self-refuting, making it a pro gay marriage post. Unless you disagree with gay marriage, I don't ken your motives.
|
Yes. I was wrong with my reaction and then post. I was to quick on the trigger. As I read it correctly now. My post does not apply in reality and was not justified. I offer a sincere apology to OFFC for my comment calling him a troll job and then telling him to grow up. I understand it was wrong and was not called for because OFFC not a troll and needs no advice to grow up. I am sorry for posting so and it will never occur again. Directly to OFFC, I'm sorry. SS |

The mark of a skeptic is behaving like most scientists, and acknowledging one's errors. I know from experience how this feels, especially on a site like this where some people are damned near bullet-proof in their reasoning. Been there, done that, welcome to the club of those of us here who don't deflect bullets with regularity, ss. Correcting themselves is something I've seen people no a number of times here.
It shows class, and is the sovereign sign of the skeptic. |

Humble pie may have a slightly bitter taste, but it it a most nutritional food for thought and character building. |

I think it is a stretch to be a christian and support gay marriage, although I could be wrong.
My way of thinking is that as a christian I oppose gay marriage due to my interpretation of the bible. However, I don't see how I can support our government, that is not based on the bible, to ban gay marriage. If I were to advocate this ban then shouldn't I also want to make a law banning divorce, general lying or coveting? I can oppose gay marriage without wanting our government to ban it. Jesus never used or advocated using the government to institute christian doctrine or to help people in need.

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Eph 5:15-17) |

Right, that's one way. You can be a Christian and still support the rights of non-believers to partake of a secular institution.
