Notgoing to go back and read this old thread. Believe I was mocking a certain poster who is now banned.
Banned? I'm always the last to know these sort of things. Banning someone else has no effect on me because if they become obnoxious enough I've always got the ignore feature.
As a Christian this thread makes me feel like I need to apologize for how stupid other “Christians”, are. Ill be a man by teaching my kids that race is never a reason to descriminate. That sexuality and how they live their life up to them. That helping those oppressed or systemically opressed is far more important then the bruises they may receive helping them. I’ll be a man by living out the example of doing what I think is right, by treating people with respect. Now others are free to do what they want, to teach what they want, to believe what they want, even to be a man or woman in whatever way they want too. However the concept of “manliness” lined out in this thread is amazingly stupid in my opinion.
Its more than stupid though. Stupid would be giving too much credit, an out, an excuse. These are grown men who somehow got to the point of thinking men are to be a certain way, and whether they admit it or not, their words show them to be above women. And men who think they are better than women, likely believe their skin color is better than someone else's too. Maris' posts are flat out creepy.
