Last week I began to discuss how people from different points of view engage each other. In this case I am speaking of Christians of course but it is irrelevant, as all people seem to adopt the same strategies. My first recommendation was to never respond to anonymous comments. This is the height of cowardice since anonymous means you don’t have to back your ideas with facts or reason.
But this brings up a more important point at this time. The whole concept we are exploring here really boils down to this; as “Christians” we are essentially “little christ’s”. We ... more »
