I have to say that it is a very depressing thread. Granted, you have the right to post what you want. But all i have to say, is that Pam wouldnt have felt compelled to say anything, until you offended our religion. Thats when YOU made it personal.

It started when you didnt like Dixieland Dancers reply...but i think she made it plain and simple and it didnt deserve a rude and very personal and offensive reply. I am a Christian, just like Pam and Dixieland Dancer, and i have to say, that if you wouldn't have blaintantly stated such an obserd (not to mention extremely offensive) statement about what YOU percieve as what Christian's do when witnessing, than I think Pam wouldnt have felt compelled to speak out.

There are repectful people in all different religions in this world. And there are people that give certain relgions a bad name and whoever witnessed to you in the past and gave you the impression that you are gonna burn in a firey pit if you dont accept Christ, must have gone about it in the wrong way, and i am sorry that you were exposed to someone like that...they obviously didnt share with you all of the love that Christ has to offer and just chose to "judge" you and tell you that you're gonna burn in hell. Granted, Christianity, is based on accepting Christ and believing in Him and in turn, you can have the assurance of eternity in Heaven...we are not all people that point the finger at non-christians and say straight up" you are gonna burn in hell"...unfortunately some people go about it that way...and shame on them...they should share what a beautiful and uplifting thing it is to become a Christian and to know Christ in a personal way.

With all of that said, sorry for being long-winded, i wouldnt have brought any of this up, but you were the first one to bring up Christianity, being that I am a Christian, I did feel the need to speak up.

Hopefully, this discussion can come to end, knowing that when we all come together on the internet, we are people of all different religions and nationalities and we are NEVER going to all agree...and to understand that things can be said that maybe shouldnt have been, just like real life relationships, and to not take things so much to heart. Instead of exposing anyone else to having to read a thread filled with name calling , why not end it here and continue on with what this board is all about...Pets and the People who love them!
