But if you took all those things away, we wouldn’t be able to recognize the religion forum anymore!

But I think that BY GOD’S GRACE, AT LEAST SOME of us would learn to manage quite well and amazingly agreeably in spirit and attitude.

What a shock to the world that would be.

I calculated today that there’s almost 5,000,000 viewers of FR even in these slower times. I don’t have any idea how many of those view the RELIGION FORUM. But it’s sobering that even 1% of that would be a lot of folks influenced by our orneriness away from the Love of God . . . or, potentially . . . to the Love of God by our love toward ONE ANOTHER.

Amen, friend.

I agree with you entirely. The lack of charity on this forum absolutely blows me away sometimes.

I think it’s interesting to discuss things, and there’s nothing wrong with disagreeing. I also know that sometimes, completely without intending it, one says things that appear offensive to others. But that can be easily remedied - by an explanation and an apology. That doesn’t mean you stop saying what you’re saying, but you make it clear that it’s not an attack.

I always think that people who dip in here to see what Christians think must be completely appalled. Or at least truly puzzled.

Quite sobering indeed.
