(84,287 posts)The stone that is thrown in the pond will have a ripple effect, the circles widen. Cause and effect. I have to know when I pick up that stone that there will be an answer to what I start. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, yet for every cause the reaction comes. Violence should never be the answer, denigrating ones beliefs should not be the answer.
I grew up in the Episcopal church. I asked questions about issues I felt unfair. The one that stuck in my craw, a child dies unbaptized, they live in limbo. I was young and had many conversations with my mom. An innocent child, in limbo forever. It broke my heart. I moved away from the church many years ago. It would be a lie if I said I believed in nothing. I have my own way. My point, we need a conversation, we need to ask the questions. We need to understand. That is the key for many issues we face. A conversation which you have tried to do here.
Some here say you advocate the violence, I know what you say on the board, they are wrong.
