Yes they are. But we've all got our opinions, don't we. :)
DeleteYou can't see me, but I'm slow clapping on the other side of my computer :D

I was kinda leery about posting this type of thing, thinking, "People will say I'm not Christian, I'm gay, I'm just lost." But, I and God know who I am, and know that love trumps all disputed socio-political beliefs.
DeleteI was always taught not to discuss religion and politics. You have taken it further, but I do so agree, my opinions or your opinions are our own and don't try and force them on to someone else.

I think it's taught not to discuss religion or politics during a family or other type of social gathering, because people don't just debate, but take it too personal and get too heated, and do try to inflict their beliefs on others. But otherwise, that's what sharing ideas and learning is all about, which is one reason college was such a great time.
DeleteWell said! *applause*
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine.
DeleteI agree. I don't like it when people shove their beliefs at me. Also, I avoid certain topics. I've seen discussions get ugly.
ReplyDeleteIt can be. Sometimes it is best to just stay quiet.
DeleteNothing is off limits. It's only a matter of time and place, imo. Most of us do want others to understand where we're coming from, and on some level, it can be validating when others begin to see things our way. The flip side of that is that we need to be open to learning and rethinking our opinions. Dogged resistance to that stunts intellectual and spiritual growth for ourselves as well as people whose views we may influence.
ReplyDeleteHaha, very well said! I feel exactly the same way!
