Excellent opener by the way.
We should all be able to speak openly and freely.
No need for flag wars and such because someone disagrees with a post.
If you don't like the subject matter, you don't need to read it.
I start some of my posts that way too.
Thank you. Well it shouldn't need to be that way but religion is something that gets people so riled up it is not worth the aggravation. As adults we should be able to discuss any topic in a rational manner. Unfortunately many people can't do that with religion. Hence the disclaimer at the start.
This cartoon from the Oatmeal comes to mind:
Yeah, I think both sides of the "religious beliefs" spectrum can have that tendency.
Someone says "No God" and people explode.
Someone else says "God" or "Jesus" and others explode.
I have been impressed with how many users on steemit can interact better than that.
Also, are you the guest judge for the photo challenge this weekend?
Yes.
