It's tiresome

[irish_brigid]

You know, I try to ignore the hateful things some people say about my religion. It was fairly easy up till now because I live in a rather strongly Christian community. Then some bozo from the University of Morris just an hour or so up the road had to make a stink about the Eucharist. He called it a frickin' cracker and several other things. Mostly

I haven’t had much personnel expense with people like him.
All that I know is that the Eucharist isn’t a cracker, it’s the body blood soul and divinely of Jesus. I don’t know how anyone can call something that sacred a cracker, but they do. In the end all that you and I can do is try to teach them the truth and pray for them. There will always be people who don’t like Catholics and other Christens, there will always be antagonize that we don’t like the Jews and other stuff like that. But we have to do our best to stand firm and not let people like him get us down. In fact I feel sorry for him its very likely that he never took the time to learn anything about the Catholic Church beyond the mistakes that have been made in the past.

You're a better person than I. I really don't feel all that sorry for him yet.

Actually, the first thing I thought of doing when I heard about this was a joke. Mailing him a box with a note saying "I heard you like to desecrate crackers" with some saltines inside.

I don't like to get mad when it comes to religion. I get attacked for the misconceptions that have been going on for centuries. But I've gotten used to it. I'm not saying that you SHOULDN'T be offended, you should, you have every right to.
Just take the moral high ground, realise these people are idiots who have let media and lack of knowledge influance their way of thought, and ignore them. To each their own, so long as no one is getting hurt, what right do they have to critisize you? Yer not the one throwing slanderous words about.
*hugs* I hope this doesn't bother you to much. Such stupid people aren't worth getting riled up over. That's just my opinion though.

Thanks. ^_^

I'm more tired than anything. I mean, given what I believe it's a terrible and sad thing that this professor did to the host. I think he also nailed it to a Quran and threw them both in the trash. *sigh* He seems to think that if you have a system of belief that you're an idiot. It's tiresome but I'm kinda beyond getting angry about it.

I just kinda wish this wasn't happening so close to home.

If only people could be more respectful not only towards people and their chose to have or not to have fallow a particular religion.

I will admit, I have made comments but not at the Catholic religion but locals from my town. Due to their extreme to the point of sadness hypocritical natures.

I've never understood why there is so much hate between religions, for my little branch of Methodism and what I was raised with, all religions have grains of truth. One God, many Masks you know? But then maybe I am wrong, I'm not you know.... God so I can't say 'Yes! I am right and you all are wrong!'

Personally I want that jerks address so I can have a wee little 'chat'....

My Dad was raised Methodist, so I have respect for them and other Protestant groups. I don't think they're entirely right, but they've got the basics and that's the most important thing.

I also have some respect for non-Christian beliefs, even if I don't understand them. I'm not God either, so I'm not in a position to judge anyone.

You know, I think his address is available somewhere...
