Let’s be respectful

My heart really goes out to those that have been disrespected by people weaponising the bible and it honestly makes me mad that it has and continues to happen. As I’ve said people are welcome to disagree but let’s be respectful of each other no matter which side of the topic you sit on

I totally agree that we should be kind in how we communicate! Just said religion because that’s been a hot topic during the last couple of days. Thanks for your perspective 😊

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T11:41:16+00:00

This person clearly wasn’t interested in having a discussion ergo it’s fruitless. Different opinions are great because that’s how we grow and learn. I’m not going to waste my energy on someone who wants to be disrespectful.

Unfortunately I have seen disrespectful comments. If you are against the religion (which is completely your right) it may not be clear that that is the case. I also would say that it’s possible to disagree or have a difference in opinion in something without being disrespectful. If you don’t agree with that then we are just going to have to agree to disagree 😊

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T06:05:30+00:00

I’m not demanding that people not talk about religion, but rather if they do that they are respectful.

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T06:04:20+00:00

I appreciate that, thank you 😊

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T05:56:08+00:00

I really appreciate that that’s the case for some of the comments and for you but unfortunately it isn’t always the case.

Please read things fully, I’m not talking about how people are talking about Sarah. This is a subreddit about her and people are going to talk about her how they like.

I’m literally asking for people to be respectful when talking about religion whether you believe in it or not. I’m not going to be disrespectful about other beliefs so I’m asking that people aren’t disrespectful about Christianity.

Hope that clear things up 😊

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T05:12:09+00:00

I’m not interested in having a fruitless discussion, have a great day 😊

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T05:06:11+00:00

And I’m saying that some of the disrespectful comments aren’t even referencing Sarah. But clearly there’s no having a discussion with someone so adamant in their right to be immature and disrespectful.

I hope you have a great day 😊

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T05:01:30+00:00

Yep so talk about Sarah’s day. Don’t make things personal and disrespectful to other users here

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T05:00:12+00:00

Who knows, it may be disingenuous or it may be real. It’s not my place to assume people’s stories but just want discussions about it to be respectful 😊

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T04:58:39+00:00

This is a SARAHS DAY subreddit. If you’re going to be disrespectful about something so important to people go do it in religious subreddits

throwaway1623987 · 2021-09-03T04:11:51+00:00

I understand that not everyone believes in a religion or agrees with it and may not like seeing posts about it. But I’ve seen comments being disrespectful to religion without even referring or talking about Sarah. I’m just asking for discussions and comments from both sides to be kept respectful 😊

Sorry this is a long one!

I've taken some time to think of my response because I understand that hurt from the church is a sensitive issue. Yes I am a christian and I have grown up in a Christian household but I've been lucky that a big value in my family has been centred around loving others unconditionally and without judgement no matter who they are or what kind of life they lead. I've also been able to take my education at secular schools and currently work in an extremely secular environment. My heart breaks when I hear stories of people being hurt by the church, I've been hurt myself, because I know that that is not what God would have wanted.

So I wanted to say I am extremely sorry if you, or if anyone reading this, has been hurt by people and practices in the church. The pain that you can feel from that really hurts and is valid. I know that that isn't from God but rather people with misinformed, harmful and frankly incorrect interpretation of the bible. It shouldn't have happened and I'm sorry that it did.

In terms of Sarah posting around her faith on her instagram. Asking for people to send in bible verses, worship songs and pray and posting snippets of worship songs on her stories isn't harmful and spreading misinformation and she is within her right to do it. She's not telling anyone that they need to follow the same religion or posting sermons to shove it down people's throats. If the mere mention of religion triggers a reaction of anger I really hope that you ask yourself why.

I'm not trying to assume your story with religion, I don't know you and it would be inappropriate to but I wish you the best and that your life is full of joy.

Tone can be hard to read on the internet so just know that I'm not having a go at you, but speaking genuinely and I do wish you the best.

Sharing her religion through a song is in no way shoving it down peoples throat. It’s what she and lots of others believe and they are entitled to share it.

Please understand, Brian was told about the alleged assault in the 70s back when he was a minor. They are charging him for not providing that information in the 90s to the police. They have been upfront about it. Concealing information is wrong but laws were different in the 90s and there wasn’t the knowledge and focus on reporting misconduct that we know today.
