Ever looked on one of those newsfeed pages(MSN,Yahoo,ect.)? Doesn't matter what the story is; look at the comments below. I can guarantee that by the 3rd or 4th comment there will be mudslinging, name calling and insults, usually throwing race, politics or religion in the mix that has nothing to do with the news article.
For that matter, go to any theological debate forum on this site. Before long some will show their true colors: full of cut 'n paste head knowledge but with cold selfish hearts. They just HAVE to be right no matter what.
The Bible has wisdom on the subject (2 Timothy 2:23-25, 2 Timothy 2:14, and others).
Sorry about the quasi rant. It's kind of a sore subject with me. Firefly, I take no issue with your post. A healthy civil debate can be fun and beneficial. My view is subjective. With my depressive tendencies, arguing for it's own sake is a negative. Unless I'm really PO'd, I have trouble putting my thoughts together for both a defensive or offensive position. As Poster0 sometimes says, I just get kind of numb and really just don't care. If they want to be right let 'em be right even if they aren't.
It grieves my heart to see some Christians so loveless.
