LOL. If I am in the wrong, one of my brothers or sisters in Christ will admonish me. However, since you are a non-believer it is not your place.

And it is never hypocritical to speak the truth. I could see being a hypocrite if I had complained about others using the word or stating similar things, but I have not.

Fail on your part. However, you are being hypocritical by holding me to a different standard than you hold yourself. LOL.

Okay, here is your official admonishment from a brother...with kindness and love.

Philippians 4:5 "Let your gentleness be evident to all"

Colossians 3:12: "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Public figures do set themselves up for public criticism, but Christians, in my opinion, are constrained by love to keep their criticism impersonal. An appropriate use of such criticism would be when someone sets themselves up as a moral role model and then behaves immorally publicly. We need to point out the truth, but only for the purpose of steering people away from a bad example.

God bless you.

When did Marie Osmond gain protected status? Is it because she is a B rated celebrity? A Mormon? Is it because she sells items on QVC? Is it because she eats Nutrisystem foods? Is it her signature doll collection?

How silly! It’s Marie Osmond, for goodness sakes! Where does this hero worship come from?
