Maybe, but Revelife often goes out of it's way to create confrontation and a lot of people post comments just to start arguments. Revelife, like any other website, needs people to come here and even better click on those ads to make money. More people show up if it is something controversial.

Sorry, but you're really just playing a part in it.

I completely agree with your post!

I do think that some people mistook your being opinionated as being arrogant.  I just thought your views needed some clarification, myself.

I totally support you saying what you really believe.  Honesty is worth the price, I think.

I completely agreed with your last post and I understand completely what you say in this one. I think the people who thought your last post was "arrogant" are frankly, insecure. Why would they need to bash on your beliefs and views SO viciously (and without mercy) if they weren't? What gives people the right to criticize you like that when your questions asked for clarification but instead you received a barrage of insults? Instead of accusing you of arrogance, they could have told you far nicely where your views strayed a bit from what they were thinking of. I'm sorry you had to read those comments.

I've had many great conversations with my non-believer friends. I used to be a hardcore atheist. I also don't believe that it's my job to convert people, and like you, I think it's far more important to brew love and not anger/hatred if at all possible. But I'm also not someone who waters down what I believe, and my friends, non-christian and christian, respect that. Smart, critically thinking, reasonable, intelligent people would never bash or disrespect you like the commentors on your previous post. I'm not sure what kinds of Christians they've encountered, but the many different Christians I've known are all logical, intellectual, joyful conversationalists who would love nothing better than a respectful discussion about faith and God. Thanks for your honesty and don't let the haters get you down, ever!

I think it's sad that you felt compelled to write an article like this.    It's becoming more apparent the longer I read Revelife that if the views *you* state are seen by others as bigoted, narrowminded and 'arrogant', that you are jumped on and pounced at and torn down.    As a Christian if you state something like "if you don't receive Christ as you're Saviour, heaven won't be your destination for eternity" --- people perceive that as being arrogant or obnoxious or downright rude.   But if someone comes on here and says "as long as you're good you can get to heaven" -- that's fine. (and heaven help the Christian who says otherwise!!)  Perhaps we need to remember, there's no absolute truth anymore   The Bible is not the ultimate authority either and so what we say based on the Bible is questionable and narrowminded.      The more I read on Revelife, the less I want to read/comment.     

I thought your original post was good - it was your experience and your conversation. Darn it all.   You can't even relate an experience anymore without getting jumped all over.  Wishing you God's blessings as you continue your conversations with that friend!!!
