superficial

While watching the show Beware of the Christians they mentioned how people say they don’t have time to talk about God . . . but they have plenty of time to talk about the latest book coming out or the tv show that they watch, or the coffee they drink . . .

I had decided that I was going to talk more about God and less about stuff that has zero importance in this life or the next. Well, a friend had posted something along the lines of 'When does a fetus become a baby? He said it is when the baby is wanted. Then a fetus is baby.'

That got me to thinking about people who are pro-choice. I wondered how they can reconcile their belief in Christ with the killing of children.

I knew I couldn’t ask anyone on Facebook and really, the people I hang around with are all Christians who are pro life. Then I saw the post that Staci had liked about white haired men and their control of women (which I think is just sad) anyway . . . I thought I could ask Staci. She would tell me straight out. She is not shy about her opinions in the least. Instead she wrote a short “I am adamantly pro choice.” And then when I asked more – she basically told me she refused to discuss it with me. I could feel the heat off of the email.

Staci - I am adamently pro choice.

Staci - Kelly,

I really don't want to debate this, or politics, in general. I'm not going to change your mind, and you won't change mine. We'd just be angry and irritated. Let's just agree to disagree.

Her response really shook me. I mean, when did we lose the ability to talk about real subjects?

Everything is so superficial. Then I realized it is my fault. I post everything on Facebook. Other people read and then they have nothing to talk with me about. So, I resolve to quit posting on Facebook as Kelly. I’ll post on my gaming account. I’ll set it up like I have my current account minus friends and family. This way, these people will actually have to converse with me if they care to know what is going on in our lives. Of course, they probably don’t. (dramatic of me huh)

Back to the point of this entry: How do they reconcile the death of the child?
