I'll admit i didn't read all of the comments before posting, it's almost like you all who "hate" rally around each other and chomp at the bit to be an ass. Good luck with that in real life. And to those who said/quoted, "Would you say this to a group of women you overheard saying something you were disappointed with?" ABSOLUTELY. I'm a Christian and i believe in standing up for those who aren't willing/able to stand up for themselves.

There are a lot of nice women here and I see that. Good luck to all of you! To the few "Highly Intelligent, Resourceful, Grammar Nazi, Amicable, Impertinent Geniuses" who posted asstastic comments to me for trying to be reasonable for those who aren't as informed, take your garbage elsewhere. It affects me none.

Um I'm a Christian, but we are actually called to be kind, especially when confronting brothers and sisters with sin. We are supposed to pray for others that are not Christians, but not blatantly point fingers and be rude. I am also a big fan of intelligence, because I believe God gave us brains for a reason! So we encourage people to use them. I'm sorry you came in here all huffy and are leaving deflated and angry, but you didn't speak in kindness or gentleness. I hope you find that your pregnancy is boring and healthy, but I also hope you rethink ever starting a relationship the way you did. If you were to go out into the mission field or your own city with the hopes of possibly being the only Jeaua someone might see. You would not approach them that way. You wouldn't approach someone how has a drug problem saying you are a horrible person and selfish person for using drugs. You would build a relationship and do what you can to lead them to Christ. Consider that tactic when entering any group! Sorry to hijack this but I really don't like the image the gets created for all Christians when one of us stumbles!

Christians don't judge, but thank you for your input. I made a suggestion for others to be kinder in my first post based on what i'd seen in several posts. Hardly a stumble.

Yet you seem to have no problem judging the people on this forum.

Sorry I don't feel like calling people garbage and asshats is very Christlike...so for me that would be a stumble of course your walk, your struggles. Actually the bible calls us to judge our brothers and sisters, but most like to ignore that part because "we don't want to offend anyone" so I have no problem telling you that what you have said is not the kind of thing that would help further the kingdom. Maybe you should just stop now. I see this getting more ugly than necessary. You called for kindness, but in a rude way. I have been kind in my words, but one of my flaws is little patience, so office me now if my posts begin to show my flesh.

I'm leaving now so you all can rejoice in whatever distorted Christianity you're a part of. i hope you mean girls lay down tonight and ponder what next mean thing you can say to sound witty to the next oblivious pregnant woman to come on here. Keep this thread going with all of your F@#$ you comments! All of the other drama mommas will LOVE IT!!

Good luck to all of the kind ladies in this group!!! Adieu!!!!!!!!!!!

This exactly!!! I hate when people use the "I'm a Christian" thing as a cover-up for being rude...

OP, if you truly think these ladies are so terrible then you should pray for them... What we are called to do, right?!?!

Personally, I call myself a Christian and I think this board is very supportive & the ladies here caring yet hilarious.. If I see something I don't like I just ignore it.. Not hard to do..

But thinking you are going to come on here with your little speech & change the way TB has ALWAYS been is delusional.. There are many more important issues in the world where you can devote your time to "stand up" for ...

Okay, I'll be first...

@pianorapp‌ thank you! I tried:) I actually had to pray about not letting my brain take over and post things without thinking them through! Haha I'm down to be friends:)

*head scratch* I'm an atheist? Didn't realize this was going to be about faith when this thread started, but okie dokie.

Anywho, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure we're all supposed to be nice to each other. Aside from (valid!) reactions like these, the worst I've seen here in TB is playful ribbing.

I was bullied as a child and am pretty sensitive to that shit. I'm not seeing bullying in this community. I see support, sarcasm, and dry humor...the only judgmental BS I see is from posters like OP.

I'm agnostic and I've found that "Good Christians" are the worst... As in they have to tell you they're "Good Christians."

I don't like when people say they are "Good Christians" either... We are all human & imperfect.. No one is truly good! I try but it doesn't always happen.. lol

 I'm sorry you've obviously had a bad experience with these people, I have too.. Nothing bothers me more than people calling themselves "Christians" and blatantly acting the opposite of the true message of God which is Love & Grace!

@squeegoi  Yeah I don't understand why the OP decided to turn it into a Christian debate, I can't stand when people do that... I definitely do not push my beliefs on anyone but I felt like what she said needed to be addressed! Not all of us who call themselves Christians are bitchy, judgemental, or unable to take a freaking joke lol

There has to be at least one other person who appreciates the irony of the "You can't tell a bunch of strangers how to behave and what to say" argument while simultaneously telling people who think that they're showing what they should and shouldn't be posting about. I mean, I can't be the only one who gets the hypocrisy, amirite?

Well I'm sure you make a lot of friends IRL doing things like that. You sound like an absolutely lovely person.

Weeding people out today feels so good! Goodbye insecure jerks acting out at everyone else! Good for you expressing your caveman emotions!
