I also agree with Chirsty, not why Blessed_with_6 left.

Amber03, I'm sorry you've gotten your feelings hurt. I know I told you the other day, that you'll never win an argument here on MS on topics like this. There are some people that will post till their heads explode rather than give up. So just have your faith and let them not have theirs. Don't try to change them or convince them because you can't. There are certain people on here I've stopped arguing with because I realized it was a waste of my breath and frankly some of them can get really mean. Don't let them upset you.

Amber, about a wk or so ago I posted about haloween, and how I as a "CHRISTIAN" do not celebrate it and was there any others out there.... OH MY!!!! want to read about someone getting feelings hurt and all of that. Take it as a grain of salt, the bible says that nothing shall offend thee.....

It is hard I know to look for similar people to share your faith, but take all the good out of MS and leave the bad behind. I don't think you have to be PC all the time, what is PC to you may not be PC to me, like someone said, this is a discussion board.

We all need to remember that things being written and reand come out WAY differently than things when spoken, and as members we need to try to be sensetive to that by not "attacking" the person.

I'm not sure exactly which post hurt your feelings, but I think it's important to remember to be true to your own feelings. Just because someone doesn't agree with them does not mean that you aren't right. Everyone can learn from hearing both sides of a debate or conversation. Who knows, by you putting your thoughts and feelings out there, you just might touch a person are spark something that they never thought of before. I think to many of us keep our feelings to ourselves in fear that someone will ridicule us for our believes, when the fact is, there are probably more people than we know out there that feel just like we do. Don't stop posting, let it fly and see what sticks to the wall and you don't have to debate your opinion after you have said it. It's not always the one with the last word that wins.

You hit the nail on the head there.

I can pm you with an example, if you are interested. I don't think anyone wants to actually hurt someone's feelings here, but maybe if you go back and read what was posted, see if someone can take it wrong. Sometimes, I post something, then come back in a different mood and say, "Dang...I didn't mean to sound like that." I'm not saying you are like that, I am just giving you my experience. Don't give up. I think you ask some good questions! If you word it in a way to invite the other side (I can't remember your exact posts, so perhaps you already do), and try to see responses as not attacking personally, maybe it would help. JMHO.

You are right sometimes I go back and think that wasn't exactly what I meant and I was probably having a bad day and it might have should in my words.
