Critic refuses to return sex education books to library

[LondonGooner 0]

As a Christian would you steal that which does not belong to you? No matter the reasons behind the objection to the material--it is stealing if you never intended to return the books. You are not one of those Christians that think its okay to blow up abortion clinics or assasinate OBGYN Doctors are you?

No, I don't agree with her course of action. Two wrongs don't make a right so stealing books from the library because you disagree with the content is also morally reprehensible. Besides where would it end? Muslims stealing Vegetales books because of the psuedo-Christian message within those stories? Homosexuals stealing every 99c Mills and Boon trashy-romance novel because of the lack of representation of the gay community in those books? Vegetarians stealing cookbooks to discourage people from eating meat? (I am vegetarian by the way). If this scenario were played out for real our public libraries would be empty in a very short space of time. And, no as a Christian I don't think it is okay to blow up abortion clinics and OBGYN doctors. Boy, you really mis-read my original post and then some... but that is not surprising coming from a Hillary supporter. Urgh.

I don't think I misread anything--you stated you were opening a can of worms and then you said you sit back and eat your popcorn--so you clearly intended to attract an opposing view. And nothing about the original story related to being a Christian view to be opposed to the sex-ed books.

But then again you apparently have something else in common with JoAn Karkos--she went to the library to find controversy--you are not just handed a random book as you walk into a library--you have to actively seek out the content you are wishing to check--and then once you find what you sought, you are then offended? I guess that is what you are doing now--you interjected your Christian belief that had nothing to do with the original story and with the can worms and pop corn run for cover statement you are too inviting controversy.

Yes you're right. I knew that my opinion wouldn't necessarily be one that everybody agreed with and I qualified my original statement by saying "As a Christian I too would be offended." I saw the story posted here and inserted my own opinion based on my own moral judgement like many others have done. But, I think you paticularly objected to my statement because I identified myself as a Christian. I think you are the one with a prejudice not me and I apologise for voicing an opinion. I mistakenly thought that this was an open forum where issues could be discussed. I didn't realise I was meant to just validate the consesus opinion. I guess I'll have to go and re-read the forum rules.

My bat, my ball, it's time to go home?

As a bat and ball, and home owner I am offended by your Analogy or is it a Metaphor? Doh! Public education--should have gone to a Christian school.

Now, you're being petty. Thanks for proving my point though; I am now quite convinced you are prejudiced against Christians.
