RE: Trying to Change the ‘Subject’?

I understand why Christians are feeling a bit thin-skinned these days, but it seems to me there is little cause in what I wrote for all of this hysteria. — Elizabeth Scalia

Christians don’t have ‘thin skins’. Not after all this. Indeed. I think YOU’RE the one with a ‘thin skin’ in this thread.

Furthermore….

….this is hardly what anyone in their right mind would consider ‘hysteria’. This is merely constructive criticism.

I’ve SEEN ‘hysteria’ on PJM and nobody has threatened, as far as I can see, to ‘take you out’, like pinkytoo has on another thread here this last week. Let alone give you a shot in the chops like some other character did in another thread just the other day.

So. Please. Stop with the herstryonics already.

As the citation I offered earlier today goes…

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

I never said Christians should not approach the gay community, I simply suggested that there are better ways to do it – ways that help both sides see each other as human beings and not “opposing factions” – than what the Christians were trying. — Elizabeth Scalia

No. That is not quite accurate. You accused Christians of being ‘condescending’. When you wouldn’t be able to tell for sure unless you could read their minds and hearts as God does.

There’s something of a difference.

Now, in the face of the ‘constructive criticism’ you modify your argument to indicate, you just wish they’d do something ‘different’.

As for trying different approaches, why don’t you open up a coffee and prayer kiosk at some park street-corner during a pro-homosexual rally. Or, better still, in one of those ‘interesting’ street fairs.

And please give us your after-action report. Bring a camcorder and a friend to operate it for you. It may not make it on America’s Funniest Home Videos, but I’m confident it will be VERY educational.
