1. I don't have hate for any group. In order to hate something, you first have to love it. I don't love anything. Therefore, I don't hate anything. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
2. I won't throw the Catholic Church in the trash. Sorry if that upsets you. Deal with it. I also won't condemn the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Mormon Church, the Jehovah's Witnesses, 7th-day Adventists or any other group many of you like to bag on.
3. I don't think less of homosexuals, drug-addicts, adulterers, or any other group you think I should look down my nose at. Sorry if it upsets you. Deal with it.
4. I don't throw Bible verses around. Never have, never will. If I want to know what the Bible says, I will read it. If I can make my own point without needing to resort to shoving Scripture in your face, then I will make my own point. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
5. I don't have an opinion about doctrines. Many of them, I have no opinion because I have never looked into them. Many of them, I have no opinion because I think they are silly things to bicker about and don't serve any useful purpose. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
6. I have no interest in playing the whole 'I am holier than thou art" game that goes on. Those kinds of games stopped being entertaining in 3rd grade back when farts and boogers were still funny. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
7. I'm not here to make friends. I don't do friendships. I'm here to learn, to read, and to occasionally interact with people on my terms. On the flip side, I am not here to make enemies. You are free to dislike me all you want, and it won't make any impact on me. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
8. I get no joy or thrill out of having to explain myself because people can't bother to read carefully and comprehend what they are reading. It's a battle I don't care to fight. I've fought enough in my life. School bullies, combat in the military, two ex-wives, bosses, clients, and now strangers on the Internet. No thanks. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
9. I feel no need to advertise my views just to invite criticism from people I don't know nor respect. My views are mine, and I am under no obligation to defend them to you or anyone else. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
10. My reasons for becoming a Christian are my own. What kind of Christian I am is no doubt vastly different than yours, and no doubt you are sure I am "doing it wrong". You are entitled to your opinion. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
