angry

I fell into a conversation on Facebook early this morning, maybe last night, all the same, as to why Christians were leaving Israel. I think it's because they get shot, mostly. Another person commented they couldn't understand why the middle east problems couldn't be resolved. I commented that no one could ever understand them, much less solve them. Then along comes someone accusing me of bashing the person who said they didn't understand the mess....???? I asked how I "bashed" them, and the person said something like "you said neither they nor the Pope could ever understand!!" and this person went on to bash me....geez, I think there's an anger issue here. I simply pointed to my book to help clear up some of the misunderstandings, and man did I catch it again...I stooped lower than the lowest to promote my book on someone else's site.

So, I conclude that this person has extreme anger about something, I am thinking she's Catholic because she said the Pope is Peter and she was really hacked that I said anything about him. Well, if I remember my Bible right...Peter denied Christ three times just prior to His crucifixion. Don't see how Peter then was the first Pope....I blogged earlier about what Christ meant when he said "upon this rock, I will build my church". Hint...he wasn't talking about Peter....

So, anger will get you....not much....I bowed out of the conversations, realizing I had wasted a whole bunch of time on someone so angry with certain things that I was going to be talking to a brick wall anyway.

Reminds me of scripture which says they have ears, but never hear.....

  2. I've had some similar experiences on Myspace blogs. I think most of that anger really comes from pride. It causes us to take these things way to personally and often curbs true discussion. Only when we can get past our pride, can we have true meaningful discussions on these social sites. My opinion anyway.
    God bless,
