    I liked that video! She has so much courage to go up there and speak so calmly and without anger or spite. I SO wish these videos would get through to people. I like to think that they sometimes do! :slight_smile:

    That is a pretty good way of handling it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    I like how she focuses on love, and, sorry to bring religion in, but that is what Christianity was founded on, but it has been westernized and is now focusing on hate, I was speaking to my dad yesterday about this, the best way to describe it is this, in the Quote "hate the sin, love the sinner" what true Christians see is "love the sinner", what westernized Christians see is "hate the sin", and so far, I've met about... one person who is also a true christian, so its refreshing to see a women who is not like everyone else, who does focus on love, and never even needed to use religion to see that.
    sorry for the longish post hey

    That was brilliant! Especially the way she calls it a mistake and dealt with it without anger.

    Fun Fact: It doesn't say "love the sinner, hate the sin" ANYWHERE in the Bible. Something to keep in mind if you get that one thrown at you again.

    That was just really awesome. I mean, how cool of them to respond that way instead of spouting hate and arguments right back. And their way was apparently effective, too.
