IMO, a person is, in effect, pointing fingers at God instead of reflecting on what has caused us to be strong in the power of His might, taken fear out of our hearts, given us maturity and wisdom - simply trials.
"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:" I Peter 1:7
Being an anti-UPC basher shows weakness. If a person has been made strong by their decision to leave, they would leave it all alone and keep walking.
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing." James 1:1-4 (NLT) |
You are right about one thing. This forum, and the people who bash Islam on this forum, are not doing this out of a position of strength or power. You can quote verses about trial and strength and power all you want, but at the end of the day this thread and other threads that I have participated in on this board is about you and your fear and weakness.
Were you to stop bashing Islam, and stop bashing my beliefs there would be no need for me to be on this board. I have little concern about the other nonsense you discuss among yourselves. When and while you do continue to use your time and this board you fairly earn my right to bash you right back. This is what my participation on this thread and on this board is about.
Hope that clears.
I am guilty of trying to build a bridge, by highlighting similarities between us. You and your colleagues answer to this was by highlighting bad things
