(1,014 posts)What sticks in my craw is that people like this are the same ones who (like my grandmother) run around telling the whole world what good Christians they are. Yet then they turn around and spit in the eye of their brothers and sisters? It just blows me away. As a Christian who is not only pro choice and pro LGBTQ rights, but who feels that the true message of Christianity is love one another and tolerance, stuff like that really bugs me. It's the epitome of hypocrisy. You don't profess to follow Christ, who was (if you believe) one of the biggest kumbayah hippies out there, and then turn around and treat your fellow man with such deliberate contempt and hate. You just DON'T. Bleah.
Plus, I find their lack of manners in general appalling. Gracious. One does not treat company like that, period.
At any rate, yes, one person and one heart at a time, I know I know....it just annoys the crap out of me to hear stuff like this and I am just so damned sorry that you have to be on the front lines taking it right in the jaw. It's not right, and I'm sad and hurt for you and your husband.
