And I have a problem with people attacking my Savior
with no provocation. Keep in mind, my independent
friend, that I can too can reply at any time, and if
attack my Savior just to purposefully incite me, then
I feel for you. Make no mistake, I only have opened
my "proselytizing" mouth because atheists, agnostics,
naturalists, and others here think they're inevitably
right. From what I understand, there has been alot of
"slamming" Christians here - that may or may not be
true. I haven't taken the time to look through all
40000+ messages because that's not why I defend my
God. I'm not here to "make things even" for any
hearsay; however, I am here to make sure people don't
purposefully punish Christians just for their faith.
I have noted though, that most slamming of Christ
seems to happen with no provocation; it's as if
certain individuals here think they can do that with
no form of riposte. I hope that's not the case.
I, also, don't proselytize. I simply witness. No
one's holding a gun to your head.
