So I’ve been around here for a while now and I’ve gotten to know many of you very well. I’d go as far as to say that I’ve made some friends here on the stage. There’s one thing I just can’t grasp. WHY YOU ALL FIGHT LIKE CHILDREN OVER THINGS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER???!! We start everyday with a “Thought of the Day” usually a very enlightened take that expresses open mindedness, compassion and a general idea that we all strive to be better humans. Then you immediately close your minds and start arguing with each other over some STUPID MEME!!!!! So many claim to be dev**e Christians then act in the exact opposite way that Christ would. I’m glad this crap mostly stays in the attic because it would completely ruin the stage for me and the 90% of us who came here for FISHING!!! Here’s an idea. Ignore stuff that’s put up just to anger you!!! And maybe stop posting stuff to troll each other. You all know who agrees with you send it in a PM. Admin owns another site it’s set up just like the stage it’s called OPP. Google it. It’s all political arguing. Join and enjoy yourself. Stop ruining the stage!!

I know your responses: “It’s the Attic Jason you don’t have to read it.” I know and I don’t usually. But the rifts that politics has caused between good people here on the stage makes me sick! It’s what’s k*****g our country!!! A house divided against it self cannot stand. Americas unity of diversity is what makes it great. Many of you seem to have lost sight of that. Everybody must think like you??!!! When did being right become more important than being a good person????

I'm with you 💯 Jason you are right it takes both sides to keep on track and it's hard not to express our opinion but not at the cost of a friendship or even a family member, you're not going to change someone's mind until they see it for themselves and even then some want except it.
Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for your input it does count 🙏

Nice how you managed to get some Christian bashing in your post. Your probably the last person I would take advice on how a Christian should act. Just lie down like little lambs right? Lol. Why didn’t you address the l*****ts who preach tolerance and acceptance and act the complete opposite? Hmm?

J in Cleveland Loc: Cleveland, Ohio

Ha? I was not bashing Christian’s I was bashing the petty acts and name calling used by those who constantly preach their beliefs on here.

I was bashing everyone involved dude. And you don’t know me or a thing about me. I’m a dev**e Catholic and try to live as Jesus did. Which was by not judging and trying to bring everyone together. If you can’t see that I’m sorry!

Everything you think is right and all others are i***ts. Now do you feel better?

Stay in your lane dude I have no problem with you or anyone else here. I just was hoping some would see the error in there ways and be better humans.

J, I'm trying not to respond to the attacks I see on the Attic, but sometimes I just can't resist. There are times when the bait is just too appealing to ignore. There are several Stagers who I make it a point to NEVER respond to because despite what I say, it turns into a controversy. I'm not gonna swap insults with folks who are not rational to begin with. I fully expect this reply to you will start them up, but let them vent, they are not worthy of a response, or my time.

JD I apologize for my response your questioning of my faith really struck a nerve. But I was wrong to react like that. It’s not what Jesus would have done.

Ask others who have met me I am a pretty nice guy. I go out of my way to help others everyday! I’m trying to bring peace to the stage. Help others to be better.

N4fishing, I'm the same way I have a brother that I just let it in one ear and out the other because he is so set in one man's opinion and even proven wrong he still thinks that way, so to keep peace first of all we don't talk politics but as far as even commenting to people that makes ridiculous statements and most of time it's just to pick up argument I'm like you just don't respond to their level of thinking..... maybe if we all just keep our opinions to ourselves we could get along better 🙏🙏🙏

It’s OK I understand but that’s how some of us feel when you called out our Christianity and then tell us how we should act. And honestly I didn’t see you call anyone out specifically except for Christians so that’s why I addressed it. God bless and peace.

J in Cleveland Loc: Cleveland, Ohio

Not calling out Christians at all calling out non Christ like behavior. I was taught if you talk the talk you should walk the walk. The golden rule…. He without sin may cast the first stone.. Those lessons Jesus taught us that are so easy to forget. I did it myself in my original response to you.
