On Christianity:

"Do you think yourself a Christian if you oppress the poor? ...If you enrich yourself by making others poor? If you wring your food from others' tears? A Christian is a man who ... never allows a poor man to be oppressed when he is by ... whose doors are open to all, whose table every poor man knows, whose food is offered to all."

If you are a self-described christian, do you follow the tenets of the faith?

A tenet is a belief. A tenant is someone who rents a property.

Crap, did I spell that wrong? Okay, I'll fix it. Let's face it, I can't be both pretty and smart. :D

It is time for The Church of Hate to get out of The House of God.

I was raised Catholic but do not attend church and do not practice the faith nor do I push it on my children. They attend public schools. I have become, and want them too, be open to everything and find their own beliefs. I find that I've become sceptical of A God or any "higher power". It's hard for me to believe in something when science and evolution has proven itself right from the creation of earth. Science created earth; not A God. However, if others believe the latter to be true I'll not argue. To each their own. I'll believe the latter when I see it all for myself.

As for practicing Christianity; I believe in being kind and helpful and respecting others' differences regardless of race, sex or religion. That's what makes us individuals.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

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
