Clearing the Air

[skinsguy]

About a couple of years ago I left the Warpath because of a thread about the movie, “Religulous”. Some of you probably remember this documentary by Bill Maher. I, myself, being devout in my religious beliefs felt that the movie, and/or, thread would be a sounding board for the unreligious to bash those who believed. I asked Matty to delete my account and I left the board. Years later, I decided to give it another go and have been back on the board for several months now. I recently went back and looked at that thread, and realized that I had overreacted. I was way off base. Out of fear of being bashed, I probably had given some a reason to rightfully bash me. So with that, I apologize for my overreaction with the thread. I haven’t seen the documentary; mainly because I don’t want to make Bill Maher a dime richer by renting something I feel will probably upset me. At the same time, I am curious to see what the documentary is all about. Knowing how Bill Maher is, it will probably turn me off to him more so than what I am now.

Neverthe less, I have to remind myself everyday that there are reasons for why people believe or don’t believe the way they do/don’t. All I need to do is to be a good example and “turn the other cheek” when the situation calls for it. In every forum I have ever been a part of, the subject of religion is always brought up and never seems to be discussed in a manner that is respectful for all sides. It is one of those “agree to disagree” type of subjects as is abortion, but I’ll admit that I was bracing myself to defend my beliefs. Hopefully if the subject ever comes up again, I will read each post clearly before proceeding! But I would much rather post in threads that deal with video games, computer programming, and that hot woman from the TV show Modern Family.

But anyways, I just wanted to clear the air and say that I certainly hope I think before I post or even think about posting in threads such as that. I have to learn that if the subject bothers me, sometimes it’s best to not take part. I will say this though, in regards to the main subjects about the Washington Redskins, I will argue my point until I am blue in the face! I have been a long time fan of this team ever since I was about five years old, and I am a diehard fan who bleeds burgundy and gold. THAT, will never change, no matter how bad the Redskins get. I enjoy debating about my favorite team, and I have no problem with calling out those “Debbie Downers” of the board or even the unrealistic Kool-Aid drinkers (mainly because they won’t let me have a sip and tell me to get my own.) I love this team, and I love this board! Been here since 2004 and hope I’m here at least another six or seven years!

Peace!
