One thing I often notice about this site is there are often many people who come not to stand for whats right, but to shame Christians who do come to stand for whats right. An example, read a thread about homosexuality, such as a famous Christian who decides they are going to live that life, and see how some people come in to shame them for talking together about why this is bad, and why it shouldnt be accepted. They tell the Christians there talking together that they need to "love them", and that they dont like it when they see Christians holding mean signs yelling at those trapped in this life instead of sharing the Gospel and all that.
The problem with this claim is that none of that is happening, no one is claiming anyone should hate anyone, and this isnt an event where we are trying to share the Message of God. It is an online forum where current events are being discussed, and as Christians we should absolutely say that wrong is wrong, and be in agreement over it. There should be no shaming in this.
Im not talking about name calling, I havent seen much name calling. Ive seen debates get really heated, but I dont see as much name calling as others claim there is. I dont check every single thread on this forum of course. But even still, Id have to question what is being called name calling, and whether or it is what its being called. Jesus used harsh language when it was appropriate. Of course, we are not Him. But those are a part of debating, so Id have to see it for myself to believe it.
