So I am at work this afternoon out front taking a smoke break with 2 of my employees.

48. No, I didnt twist anything, I used your own words and I shall do so below.

What I've said is not to excuse their behavior, simply to offer you a way to let it be on them and not let it wreck your day.
No where did I say it did or imply this. Why do you bring this up?

No, you did,
IF Christians are right and there is some day a way to prove the existence of God, it's just a kind thought to hope everyone might feel the love that exists in people of faith for all of humanity.

I'm mostly saying they are basically clueless and trying to exit as gracefully as they know how, to say they do have good thoughts from their own perspective.
OR you can TAKE offense at everything others say and let them rent space in your brain.
Wow, put it on me.
I am sorry that not being a Christian put you in some awful situations.

However, you don't have a monopoly on being mistreated.
I simply want to support and encourage you to be yourself and don't worry about such a very small statement.


I think your heart in in the right place, and I am happy for that. I would ask for you to do as much reflection on what you have said and I have said and to come to the conclusion that of course I am correct. I jest of course. I do not know you, anymore than you know me. But we are here on DU, trying to make things better. Maybe I am offering a world that you have never considered or seen, maybe not. Maybe I am a self centered jackass old white male, the odds on that are pretty good unfortunately.Way too good sheesh. Regardless, you are here on DU and being polite despite a very contentious subject and the fact that you have not just told me to go fuck off, pardon my language is very good. As we say in the south, although I am not there anymore,
Keep keeponing.
Thank you for the conversation and I hope to have more with you.
