[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1834128, member: 52520"] We can all get defensive about strongly held beliefs and non beliefs. It's a human trait, right or wrong. But the most damage done in the name of Jesus is responding with unloving comments and I have done that myself. It's not what we wanted to do but it happens because we feel like our faith (and purpose) is belittled. That is painful. In the Bible we read over and over again that God speaks to us in quiet ways, to our spirit, but rarely in the pew jumping and screaming tirades that shallow folks call conviction. "Love your neighbor as (you love) yourself" is p[SIZE=16px]art of the greatest commandment spoken. We all fail that from time to time but we are always maturing in our attitudes if we truly care. Loving (respecting) even those who hate you is the greatest test. [/SIZE] We forget that God has forgiven us for great wrongs and failures (if a person believes) so maybe humility should be the soil that every action should grow from. Sometimes we miss the mark.
