Nobody is saying it doesn't have to be important to you. But to a lot of people it's a little like:

Bob: Hi, AC. How's it going this morning?

AC: Christ died for our sins.

Bob: OK then. So did you see the match yesterday? Could you believe that bonehead move Pepe pulled?

AC: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.

There's an old stereotype where the white dude says black people make everything about race, and the black dude says that's because everything is about race. It kind of applies here.

Ok well the reality is its not like that with me . just look at the earlier transaction I was me talking about wynalda being a hypocrite and then someone chiming in with my faith

Ok so if that's the way you are known as a girl and you live gigi should I talk to you about vaginas and gigi Buffon only? Everytime you post even if that's not what your talking about?

Of course not, but knowing those facts can certainly have an affect on how you might reply to me in some matters. Given that being a woman is not a choice, and that liking Gigi is almost a given on a Juve forum, it doesn't leave much room for argument.

As a Christian it is my part in this world to make Jesus known and with my sig and post I do. I also am many other things and maybe if some people looked past their prejudices and biases they would see that

I know that it is a large part of some Christian faiths to proselytise or to just get the word out, but is this really the best way to go about it? There is a difference between making it known that you are here to talk about faith if people want to, and making people feel uncomfortable by seemingly disregarding their beliefs.

I'm more of a camel type of guy.

i m not saying you dont, Kate summed it up best, one commands respect as a person with their actions; people will have to decide on their own, and since you;ve already professed your ambassadorship for your faith, then just let those actions speak for you and your faith

If my avatar and signature makes someone that uncomfortable then their issue is their own. I do not push anything or hate in anyone in here nor do I judge. Like Alen said maybe you all should read and learn instead of fear

I don't think others realize how much they bring the topic up themselves before you do either, though.

Btw, I like your latest avatar, though. I dunno... kinda go for the aesthetics of it.

I try Deneb. I do but some on here neither give it a rest or say truly hurtful things for no reason other than hate

That's my point! Its like shit the Christians here how can we taunt or mock his faith

Lol, I know there's supposed to be a space in there but that's hilarious. Hey Denebi, what's up? It sounds like a black girl's name


It's true though, people bring it up a lot but I think you've brought it upon yourself with earlier events.

In some ways it is, yes, but you're still laying yourself on the line and should not be surprised when people react to it. And of course people should read, everyone should read anything they can get their hands on, but they should also read with an open mind and the ability to question to author

There's a kind of social teasing that's common in humanity. Some sources of it are verboten, socially -- like race and even, in some cases, sexual orientation. Other sources can be considered semi-acceptable targets, like religion or the size of your ears. It's the things that make us different or stand out from each other that become lazy crutches for ridicule or ribbing.

Which isn't to say Mel Gibson isn't an anti-semite. But there are circumstances where people say anti-semitical things out of laziness more than any real racial hatred.

Questioning is fine. Mocking and disrespect isn't. GOD gave is our minds to question and think
