People who hold to a personal prefrence is wonderful but is wrong for them to try to place a personal conviction on everyone.

I appreciate that you didn't mean to offend. I'm not
personally offended, because I don't fit that broadbrush sterotype... There's a whole church full of people in my area alone who don't. A whole district full, in fact.
The Blue Denim Whale comment didn't originate with you, nor did you use it, that is a huge part of my irritation.
I think we would differ on what we believe is personal conviction and what we believe is Biblically based, but I do still get frustrated when people paint those of us who don't cut our hair as having a mess of split ends, those of us who don't wear make up as having pimply faces, those of us who don't wear pants as being blue denim whales.
I think we can have a lot higher level discussion without those sterotypical broadbrushed statements. I feel that strongly.
Your post would honestly have just gotten brushed off, if it weren't for Renda saying we might now have an alternative to the "blue denim whale" comment.
