This post will contain profanity and will piss off one person in particular, at whom it is directed. It is up to that person to decide if they want to reveal who they are in my comments. If you don’t call yourself out, no one hardly anyone will know it’s you.

I will bash religion in this post. And it will be littered with the F word.

I am so fucking sick of you assuming that any and every thing my husband writes is directed at you and/or your religion.

I know that he loves to push our buttons. You never see him posting comments in regards to [gold standard to whom everyone else is now held up to]’s posts. He loves to fight (with us).

You go out of your way to find his posts and/or comments offensive so that you can justify how much you hate him.

My husband has his own thoughts and opinions. I do not police his thoughts; it’s not my place to do so as he is his own person. (I don’t want him policing my thoughts.) And, as he and I pay for our many domain names and host our sites on our computer at home, we are free to say whatever the fuck we want to. You have the option of not reading it. And if it’s a post I have authored that you know darn well he has an opinion on and that you know you will disagree with, save yourself the hassle and don’t read it. Don’t re-read it. Don’t let it fester until you have a nasty email to send to me, or post to publish at your own blog (I didn’t think that lovely post you published yesterday was directed at us until you followed up with an email last night).

The comment(s) you emailed me about were not directed at you. I can’t be certain, but based on how I review comments on this little blog, I don’t think sherlock pays the least bit of attention to who posts comments, just what the comments say. See, we tend to read the comments logged into the blog, and as such, we tend to ignore whomever wrote it. After all, I don’t care who comments, just what the content of the comment is. I understand why you think the comment(s) in question were directed at you, since they were of an opposing view point to your comment(s), but to just assume that sherlock is attacking you directly is nonsense. You’re just looking for further justification for your loathe-one-another feelings toward my husband.

You say sherlock never attacks the things other Christians write. Do you frequent all the blogs he frequents and monitor his comments there? Clearly you don’t frequent the same sites we frequent, including [gold standard to whom everyone else is now held up to]’s blog(s). I know you don’t hear debates we have. You have merely decided that he is always 100% out to belittle you and your precious religious beliefs.

You never speak to my husband (on the phone or in person). You barely know the man. And you have expressed very little interest in getting to know him. That’s fine. All that matters is that I love, treasure, cherish, and (dare I say it) worship him. I don’t give a rats ass about what the rest of you people think of my husband. He’s mine to love, and you can kiss my ass if you love or hate him.

If you don’t like him, that is your choice. But you’re grasping at straws trying to justify why you don’t like him. You desperately need something to help boost your Christian beliefs, because your God taught you to “love one another” and all that jazz, so hating my husband creates a conflict within you. If you can find justification for hating my husband, you jump all over it and wallpaper your kitchen with it.

Maybe, just maybe (I can’t be sure) this is just another hypocritical example of Christianity that is keeping my husband from having any interest in getting to know your God. And maybe you should spend less time trying to alienate him if you really, truly want him to get to know the God you worship. Or maybe you never meant it when you once wrote to me about how much you wish I would take an interest in my husband’s immortal soul and how you wish he would come to know Jesus as his savior. It certainly seems like you’re more about keeping a nice layer of hostility between you two than you are about letting the Love of God shine through you.

(And maybe your attitude does very little to convince me to find my way back to God.)

    I pissed someone off? Wow, that never happens.

    Don’t know what who said about what, but let me say that the second to last paragraph sums up the problem with “religious” people.

    A true Christian DOES NOT need to wear a T-Shirt identifying themselves as such. Their words, actions and general overall attitude and demeanor will PROVE they are a Christian.

    Funny thing is, a week ago WritersBlock’s parental unit and I were talking, and she mentioned how she hopes we have better neighbors were we moved to, and then brought up how the neighbor when we first moved there had hoped that, “Jason and Geta weren’t religious fanatics.”

    She chuckled and said, “little did (the neighbor) they know.”

    I immediately replied, “I am not a religious fanatic, nor do I ever desire to be lumped into that category.”

    If I am truly a Christian, saved by grace, then and only then can the true love of Christ shine through me.

    If I have to advertise my faith, than I have failed, and the sacrifice made on the cross for me was in vain.

    There is a guy at Starbucks with whom I share coffee with on a pretty regular basis, he is an immigrant from Russia. Funny thing is I KNOW he is a Christian, and we have never talked about the subject at all. He lives it.

    I would suggest stop advertising the faith, and start living the life we as Christians are called to live.

  3. caltechgirl Said,

    umm wow. Glad I didn’t piss you off.

    Love you MWAH.

    PS Jason is right… I f’ing hate when people use their religiousity (especially their Christianity) like a weapon…..

    Dear CalTech Girl,

    If I had a nickel for everytime I heard I was right, I would be a very, very, very rich man.

    Dear Jason,

    If I had a nickel for every time I rolled my eyes over something you said / did / wrote, I would be a very, very, very rich woman.

    I think I have nothing to offer here, except what CTG said. I’ll do a little background snooping, but one thing I know is this:
    The fact that I’m still blogging here is proof that wRitErsbLock can be very forgiving. So I’m going to take her side, sight unseen.

  8. skittles painter Said,

    i agree with you that Christians should not hate. a Christian should be kind and gentle and never hateful (i have an anger problem and have to watch myself on this occasionally).

    Jesus Himself hung out with tax collectors and sinners. Zacchaeus sought out Jesus, and Jesus upset the entire community, because everyone hated the tax collectors, and Zacchaeus was a tax collector and very rich. Jesus stayed in His house. Jesus was always going to the sinners (Mary Magdalene, the woman at the well) and treating them with kindness and respect. why? so they would see light in Him and choose salvation over their life of sin. He didn’t spew venom at them, He didn’t go to them and badger them over what they were doing. they instantly saw His light and wanted to change. with Christians who are not the Son of God, obviously, it takes a lot longer. we can’t say, “what are you doing? you’re living in sin?” and then the person goes, “oh, yeah, i should quit that” right away, because we’re not Jesus. but we can live in such a way that over time, the people around us may see the light in us and want to know more about this Christianity thing that makes us the way we are.

    but going to someone and saying, “you’re awful. you should be more like XX over there and stop your sinner ways”? yeah, that just turns people off and makes people think Christians are judgmental freaks, when a great lot of us really just want to let our light so shine before men so that they will want to know more about our Lord and ask us, “what must i do to be saved?”
