I just wasted 5 minutes reading this post and now my head hurts

What ever happened to making spaced paragraphs, shmah lol

😂 sorry.. imagine above x6... tried to crop down but shoulda cropped more. That was the generally the response he gave to everyone who commented.

I think the way they are hiding their aggression behind Christ is just wrong. The thing about arguing with a cancer patient doesn't mean much in terms of who's right, though.

Agree! I'm an atheist but I empathize. This situation especially reminds me of the phrase "using the Lord's name in vain".

yeah

I agree with both the cancer patient and Ellison.

Same..smh..

This person is a Karen

I only approved this to see if it encouraged respectful discussion, throwing labels out right off the bat isn't respectful.

I was an outside observer and saw this shared (it was shared 5 times last I checked). There's nothing respectful about this guy belittling and bullying a cancer patient to defend his opinion under the pretense of spreading Jesus's love?

Next question in regards to that then- to what lengths would you go to defend your opinions when other people start calling you ignorant or stuff like that? Or share your post on social media? Do you concede, fight, or steer towards constructive debate?

Constructive debate is always the way to go no matter the circumstance. Having an open mind to another's situation and experiences even if you think they are wrong will get you farther than name calling or fighting. The only time you should give up is if the conversation is going no where and both sides are just bickering.

Agree! Thanks.
I stayed away from this mostly because he was just fighting anyone who commented and I actually pulled the quote from one of the shares (the quote in question, which got me thinking about it in the first place)
