Joy is the only Christian on any forum that gives me reason to give the entire enterprise of Christianity some slack.
I'm fixing to make it personal. I'm fixing to give Joy some slack, and the rest of Christianity can go to the Hell it invented.
Whatever motivates Joy must bear some consideration. Whatever motivates Extra and whatever Ramm calls himself these days must bear a most severe derision. Joy exudes love, Extra and Ramm exude hatred. If there is any introspection and humility in these men, they should examine Joy's outlook and learn something. I have, and I have.
I suspect that the hatred that is most common in Christianity has poisoned their minds, however. On average, Christianity is not a religion of love, but one of suspicion and hatred. Christians are never happier than when they think themselves persecuted. As if a country that is 80% Christian can persecute them.
I try to approach humankind with the default condition of love, and I'm largely successful. I accuse Joy of the same. I accuse Extra and Buffalo of the opposite, because of their bigotry. I pity those two.
