Both sides Con and Lib are equally at fault here, I think you might agree with that. It really doesn't matter who starts it, but it always seems to be hot button items that get the craziness going. I think I have learned that in a public forum like this some people's only purpose is to start a topic they know will start a fight.

I look for real discussion and though I am not above playful trivia, I prefer discussion. When that is interupted by sexual inuendo and whatever, the discussion becomes confusing and disconnected.

Unfortunately one can't always be prepared for some of the absolutely uninformed things people say and not hanging out very often in public forums I have to admit that at times I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I don't know that we can ever get past our divisions which seem to be the most popular topics, and I don't know if there can ever be a really in depth discussion of these issues with Christians because the Biblical views so immutable, but I find I try every now then even though I expect it won't work well for me in the end.

That's why mostly religion and politics is so often not a favorite topic on either side in the real world.

I know that I have found some of the things you have posted very offensive and hurtful, and I thought to myself, geez, I don't even know this women, why does it bother me so much.

We can all pretend we are above being hurt by others words, but if we are really honest, they absolutely do hurt, doesn't matter if it's a best friend or a stranger.

So QuickStepper, despite the fact that I have been angered by your words and responded in kind out of frustration, I call a truce because I think that despite what you believe that I might not, you have been genuine in your response here. .

And I appreciate that you did add your voice to this topic. I don't know how long I will be able to handle this site and keep my nerves in tact. LOL But I will know that there are a great deal of people out there willing to hear my side of things and consider them, most times that enough for me.

BTW...don't discount Conservatives & Christians. For myself...I really do try to keep it real. You seem like my kind of person so I hope we can start a new trend here of having civil discussion. As on the Christian singles threads

I'll keep that in mind, Quick.. If I can figure out where the christian singles is I will check them out one day. Thank you..
