Religious Differences: the Eternal Arguments

I probably wouldn't pay attention to arguments about religion if there weren't so many annoying posts about it on Facebook - equal to annoying political posts. I stay on Facebook because it allows me to be in touch with friends, many from long ago and many more recent. Among my friends, there are a number who disagree with me and other friends of mine on religion and politics, but they are still my friends. I really do not want to argue, but sometimes the door opens and I walk right in.

So, here's what I find rude and aggravating:

1. "If you love Jesus (or God), type 'Yes' and send to 10 (or more) people." 
I do not need to prove my devotions on Facebook of all places. I am a Catholic Christian who abides by the Church. If you want to know what I believe, read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I will not argue about that.

2. "(So and so) said the end times are near." 
A Senator predicts this for a political reason. On, please. Stop! No one, Senator or whoever, knows the mind of God. The argument following the article goes back and forth in the vein of  "they" always say (or believe) that. WHO is "they?" THEY does not include everyone.

3. A Favorite - NOT!



OR, "Share and you will receive money within 24 hours."

End of rant...temporarily.
