[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3968203, member: 24302"] I believe that abortion is killing another human being, and have every right to say so. Y'all never seem to mind having people come on here talking about how bad Christians are, or we're all ignorant rednecks, etc but if we stand up for what we believe in that's unacceptable. If you want to smoke pot that's your business, but if I point out studies show that it harms developing brains you get pretty upset. Rather than consider that promoting pot might harm young adults it seems it's preferred not to say anything. I find that incompatible with Christian beliefs. That's pretty much what it's come down to anymore, just expressing our beliefs means we're trying to control you. People want to do whatever they want without any boundaries placed on them. And it seems to bother a lot of them enough to attack those that are trying to live within those boundaries. Just saying I don't believe in divorce is enough for them to feel judged if they have. They want to eliminate any reminder of what they did from their lives, but they never consider why I might feel that way. All they see is Bible banger. What they don't know is my mother's parents had 7 kids, my father's 6, and in about 10 years time they all got divorced except one aunt. My childhood was watching a lot of fighting and anger. My father's parents were married 65 years however before he passed and their example is what I have always wanted. So when someone tells me I should dump my wife I say I don't believe in divorce except for adultery. I don't get in his face if I find out he's been divorced and tell him what the Bible says. If my little statement bothers him he needs to examine himself, not attack me. [/QUOTE]
