clc9 644 Posted February 15, 2017 I'm agnostic, but I try to be respectful of others' beliefs including atheists. It's okay to not believe, but it's highly disrespectful to refer to someone else's faith as a fairy tale. 2 Newme17 and LivsMum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savyourdvine1 110 Posted February 15, 2017 Their are believers and unbelievers.... why hold those that don't believe to our convictions. She don't believe based on her statement. There is no conviction in her heart because it can't be. We were all once there. Those that know God, knows God protected her. However that's greek to her. It's going to take the Holy Spirit to convict her just like He convicted us. Pray for Erica_ozzy73 and be at peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The unbeliever is offended by a believer's statement and the believer is offended by the unbeliever's statement. I'm offended because the poster referred to my God as a fairy-tale, but I'm also respectful of not name calling someone's unbelief too. For the believers' : Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luke 23:34 For the unbelievers: I just ask you to not name call our beliefs as we shouldn't be doing either. Yes, Christians can be wrong too. We are all here for encouragement and advice from others walking through their journeys with WLS. It's ok if we want to mention how God works in our lives regarding our sleeves, if we want. It's okay if you're an unbeliever to mention your god or however you choose, your conscience, led you through your WLS too. Let's keep religion (which I don't care for--too long to explain) or spiritual preferences and for sure, political association out of the forums. There is a RELIGIOUS SLEEVERS forum for all this. Peace out! 1 Middus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDH!! 18 Posted February 15, 2017 If I'm correct , freedom of speech is still our right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix40 66 Posted February 15, 2017 Freedom of speech is a right for everyone. She had a right to say it and those who disagree have a right to respond. There was no need to put in a dig calling another person's faith a fairy tale. It was unnecessary and had nothing to do with the OP original question. 1 LivsMum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
