Why is it OK to tease or mock this poster because she believes in Christianity, yet if this post were directed to another religion, people would be respectful?
Why is it OK to spout loaded questions with absolutely no foundation in reality?0 -
Quoted: Amen! When I started out too fast in my first 10k and fizzled after only 2 miles and started thinking about quitting, I noticed the woman in front of me with this scripture on the back of her t-shirt. And, I ran on to finish within 5 minutes of my goal.
kluvit...That is awesome!!!0 -

In fact its TOTALLY uncalled for to tease about someones race, or sexual preference, but some of my "friends" here think its ok to poke for at people who put their faith in Jesus.
I respect my friends who are jewish, muslim, atheist, or anything for that matter. Its too bad that I can't count on the same in return.
Probably why I left this place the last time. Complete hypocrisy and disrespect if you ask me.

So it's okay to post about being horny, if you'd bang or spank someone, if someone is hot or not, but not finding strength through Christ (or Allah or whoever you get strength from). :huh:
I could understand the objection if someone was pushing others to be/join a certain religion or bashing another religion but it's just a motivational quote/verse.
Wholeheartedly agree with this!0 -
I don't think the reaction here is specific to Christianity. I think the reaction would be similar to any post that features a specific religion.
If you think your God helps you lose weight, that's great, but you still have to log your calories and exercise.0 -

But those are cool and edgy where as letting others reach other to people of similar beliefs is lame. Its much cooler to bash them like they dragged you in here kicking and screaming.

^ I agree. I'm not a religious person in any way but I don't see why this would be such a problem or issue on these forums.0 -

Where are you getting that she is being mocked only because she is christian? This probably would have happened with any religious shouty cap random post.0 -
There is PLENTY of mocking in this thread. I don't need to quote them all for you.Why is it OK to tease or mock this poster because she believes in Christianity, yet if this post were directed to another religion, people would be respectful?

Thank you! I am new to this forum too so I appreciate the links. Also, if I did not see this topic in my right hand menu, I probably would not have joined and/or looked at any of the forums.
Believers are to keep each other accountable and share the gospel with unbelievers. We witness through our actions, words and personal testimony. The Holy Spirit will do the work, not us. Check out this video on witnessing, don't let the title distract you or the negative comments from this post!

Highest of fives here. I'm with you in this. It's wrong regardless of race, colour, sexual preference...0 -

If you think your God helps you lose weight, that's great, but you still have to log your calories and exercise.
And if the OP had claimed otherwise that might be relevant.
I say who gives a fig. If lady A gets up and squats because of Jesus/Allah/Thor/Tony Stark and Lady B gets up and squats for a fine *kitten* and lady C gets up and squats for the long term health benefits of resistance training...why is lady A more worthy of mockery? Why does the motivation matter if you don't share it? So you can let her know you don't share it?0 -

Uh duh, of course there is mocking, now where are they mocking her only because she is of the christian religion as you state above?0 -
