Yeah I know…the title is clickbaity….It really is a clickbaity kind of day.
I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for letting me speak my mind. I know I come across as a bit aggressive, but I don’t mean to tear anyone down. I try to avoid name-calling or cussing when talking about my beliefs. Not always good about that, but I do appreciate the people here. Thanks for discussing God with me.

You are one of the least aggressive individuals I’ve interacted on the internet with today : ) I have enjoyed our conversations thus far. Thank you for the clickbaity post! I admit, I was a bit hesitant to click it, but I’m glad I did : )
We all have our moments when we get a little animated (or gamma) while interacting with others online. I am not easily offended when it comes to others having different views from me.
There was a time when I had different views from what I hold currently and ask me in ten years and I will likely disagree with some of my views that I currently hold. I think if people gave each other a little more grace, the world would not feel so angry.
EarthsStudent, in a post titled “Prayer intentions for me,” you asked for prayers. I said I would pray for you, and I guess I have been praying for you every day since then.
I don’t often get upset by someone else’s beliefs. When I was a volunteer hospital chaplain, my job was so serve. I served Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews, people of other faith or no faith. Sometimes they wanted somebody to talk to, or someone to pray with, a warm blanket, or cups for the water cooler. I didn’t have to share anybody else’s beliefs, just treat everyone with respect. Sometimes we learned from one another.
There was a so-so comedy movie in 1979 called the North Avenue Irregulars. I still think about a song from the movie that said, every day of the week, spread a little love around and we’ll all be heaven bound.
