TOTALLY UNRELATED TO ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD BEFORE THIS POST BUT,

I've noticed a pattern on internet forums where older Christians (50s, 60s +) seem quicker to resort to name-calling and personal attacks when someone else has a different view than them, rather than addressing the person's views. It has made me wonder, is the L.U.L.A. (Love Up, Love Around) a newly introduced concept to newer generations? That is, were name-calling and personal attacks acceptable in the churches that these people grew up in? Is it permissible by God to these people?

Doesn't have to be answered. Just a thought.

P.S. I'm not saying all older Christians are like this, or even most. I'm just saying that 9 times out of 10 when I see a pretty offensive post on a Christian forum, it was made by someone who was over 50

Well, I have seen this from a wide range of age groups. I really have not paid attention to which age group seems more inclined to resort to this this type of behavior. Name calling in the course of debate is a tool associated with an ad homonym argument.

Never heard of L.U.L.A. I am not really into all of that lovey-dovey stuff but I do practice a similar concept with my wife. I call it H.U.L.A.

I saw that troll, I was too busy laughing....what do they think coming into a Christian chat site and saying "God isn't real" is going to do? Are we supposed to just break down crying? All I can picture is someone walking into a school and screaming education is fake.....
