My dad literally joined this site because "he likes to read all the fighting". I think that sums up what this site is.

@lanestar7 :
 
That is bad...

I joined because there was a place to discuss Religion. Worked well until names calling and degrading came out. I don't understand some can have a different opinion with out being dumb, lowlife or under educated.

@tntrecycling Religion is a notoriously difficult topic to have a discussion around among mixed company...

@PeoriaDotCom I completely understand. I can discuss and go on some just cant. I really like to understand what makes people believe what they believe and with facts. I look at it life or death some don't.

@tntrecycling : Dude, no you don't "try to understand". You shoot people down with the dogma of your beliefs.
 
You don't "move on". If someone expresses a belief different from yours, you keep coming back and shooting it down with your view.
 
There's no other way to put it.

@tntrecycling : Since you're addressing me, I'll give you the QuispnQuake approach.
 
I don't take people's comments on this forum, per se, as "strong evidence", unless they're describing something that actually happened to them OR I ask them and they provide me with one or more credible sources.
 
Even then, I go off and do my own research. In my opinion, it's one of the pitfalls of social media: people commenting, yet you have no idea who the person is and whether or not they are credible.
 
But this is just my approach. This is how I've always been my entire life. And it's a big reason why I don't get worked up over the "mainstream media" headlines. Heck, it's why I don't get worked up over the media at all!!
 
In my opinion, you get in a big flap because you just go back and forth with someone in the comments, and don't take a break from it all to reflect on what they've said by asking them for some resources you could go to.
 
Or just plain reflect on what they said.

@QuispNQuake A while back there was a post about lottery. I posted what Gods word said about seeking fortune or chance. That was all that I had said was what's in Gods words the Bible. Now all you wanted me to do is guess why you bought the tickets. I don't care that you bought tickets but God does. Now with that said how would you convince me that I am wrong.
