Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." This is my feeble attempt at examining my life.

Why You Gotta Be So Rude?

6:07 AM Posted by Daniel Rose 5 comments
There are many issues in our world today that have people up in arms. I swim in the Christian sub culture and when the sub culture gets angry, look out.

Many of my friends post articles written by prominent pastors and bloggers. The tone of the articles are mean, sarcastic, and rude.

What strikes me is that if I want to have a real conversation with someone I need to engage with them with some humility. The older I get the more I realize that I don't even know what it is that I don't know.

As I read and study the Scripture and theology the more convinced I am that God is bigger than I could ever imagine. I'm waking up to the reality that much of what I thought I could be sure of, I can't be sure of any longer.

So, I am left asking myself, "Why are they so rude?"

I would love to hear your thoughts, drop them in the comments below.

  1. Now, as far as my official response. I would say this is one of those trees and fruit questions.
    We are to correct in all love and gentleness.

  2. jtramell That makes sense. I think it's also one of those "pearls before swine" too. Some people just won't hear it.
