I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

It is up to the reader to decide which story to believe. Stories like Aslan's are likely to cause persons who would potentially read the biblical narrative with an open mind to shun it without even looking at it for themselves; literally judging a book by its cover... An act most parents dissuade their children from doing to books as well as people.
Anyway, this is all moot as we are very unlikely to change each other's minds. Let us agree that we are pleased to live in a country which grants us freedom of and from "religion."
BTW, Jesus spoke & taught against religion for religion's sake calling it empty, vain, and detestable.
