The title of this topic says it all. This is called One POLITICAL plaza for a reason. So we can all get together and either discuss our political views or give each other hell for those views. Yet many here on both sides of the aisle persist in rattling on about God this and God that, and Bible quotation this and Jesus that.
Most of us enjoy the political discourse, and those of us who do don't enjoy having to wade through all the troll crap, the pointless personal attacks that strike out of the blue from mindless morons who have nothing better to do than to get their glees by pissing people off - or at least trying to.
But when Conservatives, Liberals, Independents et al also rattle on about their religious convictions and try to use them to justify some political point, it's too much. It's rude, it disrespects the purpose of OPP's political forum and it disrespects those of us who would much rather not have to fend off and separate out the religious stuff in order to discuss the political points on their own merits.
OPP HAS OTHER VENUES, other places for you to share your religions with each other if that's what you want to do. It is AN ABUSE OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH to preach your religion to the rest of us in OPP's political forum, it's rude, inconsiderate, obnoxious and self-righteous, and is the primary reason that Christians are h**ed by so many of us. You have no respect, you come knocking at our very doors to proselytize us and tell us that how we believe is inferior to how you believe. Then you whine and cry about Christians being persecuted.
Maybe you should try respecting the beliefs of others and shutting the hell up? Is that too much to ask?
