I am flabbergasted. I must be a real ditz because I don't understand why so many are coming down hard on Sirk for stating what is on his heart, and in a light-hearted way to boot. When I first read his op I chuckled and was about to move onto another thread... then I started reading the comments. I was like... WHUT?!? 
What's wrong with this picture? Sirk is coming against hypocrisy & religious dogma. What's wrong with that? I really couldn't follow everything on this thread because I have a few on ignore due to their being mean-spirited. But really, I'm sitting here going, "HUH????" as I haven't known Sirk to be mean-spirited or contentious and I don't understand why he's being chastised and Jason is being defended.

I think I may have been too quick to take a slap on the writst for my 'name calling'...way back...but I do support trying to
tone things down
There is absolutely no use whatsoever in embracing those who deviate from the only plan God has regarding salvation...they make the plan of salvation more like slaveation
I may just reroute how I express myself some...I used the expression 'bait biters' so as to avoid using a name but either way I guess
The point being that, while I did not actually see this thread as 'bait', it was and prob still is, taken as such...an invitation to insult or tit for tat
I don't see it that way, but I think it could hardly be passed up by some as evidenced almost from the start
So, 'kittens' aside, it sure should never have been an excuse to lay one on sirk...and I saw that too...and that riled me up some...it's like that song...kick em when their up...kick em when their down
we can, in the end, only monitor our very own leetle selfies...but I think people reveal themself in how they respond and answer..including me

The problem is the doctrine that a few spout on here...salvation based works
That, and the two of them that support Jason
Jason himself remains on the edge of polite ... his two comrades are insulting and one is just plain nasty
Me? I have all 3 on ignore. There are plenty of people to get along with here.
However, having been on several Christian forums, there are always a handful that seem to walk around with a Bible in one hand and a pitchfork in the other
You can determine who those folk are for yourself

Considering that the "intent" of these competing threads was to "IGNORE" people, I am loving the fact that people are doing anything but..........
Hollywood couldn't make this stuff up...........only on the BDF.

It's time to cool off and remember that not once did Jesus cry or moan or defend himself on the way to the cross. In fact scripture says he didn't make a sound as he was being whipped and bloodied.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Yes, and this very much speaks to the point that those with eyes to see, and ears to hear, recognize truth, understand the things of God. With exception of the very young in Christ, who are at a formative stage of learning, it's evident the mature in Christ aren't deceived. And even those young will come around, by the Holy Spirit, will learn who to listen to, and who not to, by the very power of God.
So truth stands on its own, when all is said and done. Some go to a lot of effort, to accomplish nothing, these Lone Ranger "theologies" of doubt, narcissistic condemnation and accusation something that will remain lonely.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
