[it] turns into me defending myself and my life choices and my own beliefs and religion and all over something that doesn't hurt someone else at all. It's ridiculous!
To be fair and honest, GM4Him... And I earnestly mean no disrespect in saying this, but you are the one that brings your religion into things here, every time it comes up. It's always you (as far as I've ever seen at lest), who brings it up and makes it an issue, and I do feel as though you've been politely requested to keep religious discussion out of matters before. We understand that your personal beliefs and your religious leanings are important to you, and (possibly, I don't want to presume) a strong element of what makes you who you are... and that's fine! But the topics we discuss in these forums are not the place for those kinds of real world discussions and potential conflicts. So if you don't bring your personal religion into the discussions here, it's a near guarantee that no-one else will either, and then you won't have to feel like you're needing to defend it. - I've never had to defend my own religious position, for example, because I've never brought it up.
Hmm. Fair point, Niara. It is easy for me to bring it into conversations simply because it is a HUGE part of who I am. So, when I make suggestions about things like censorship options, I am doing so because of my relationship with Christ. If I did not have one, I would not even care.
I guess my frustration isn't so much defending my beliefs as it is simply that I am always having to defend even the smallest suggestion. And, of course, he ticked me off. No excuse for my response, but that's what it was nevertheless.
And Ragnarok, I've never called your ideas stupid, as far as I can tell. I've said I don't understand where you're coming from and we often misunderstand one another, but I don't think I've ever said you're an idiot. I certainly don't think you are, and if I ever did say something like that in any way, I'm sorry.
I absolutely do not agree with you a LOT, but I don't think you're dumb. Besides, when do you ever post your own suggestions? You almost always just criticize others'.
