When I saw the word prompt of opinion I thought, boy, this one will write itself and I was right! Too many interesting opinions have presented themselves to me over this past week. These opinions often started with the phrase “it’s my opinion that”. As a moderator of a forum sometimes that means I have to step in and say “provide facts to support that interesting supposition”. It means when talking with others I can occasionally challenge ideas with some facts, or other suppositions that would fall within their ideology. And even less occasionally it means broadening conversations about the Lord with people that matter to me in one way or the other. Opinions are interesting things, and sometimes, just sometimes, they are worth challenging… just a bit. 🙂
It’s my opinion that
It’s my opinion that
the germ theory is false
that it doesn’t exist
because people can be
exposed to germs without
getting sick.
It’s my opinion
and scientists who believe
in it, and who teach others,
to believe in it are simply wrong!
And if you disagree with me
Why are you attacking me?
It’s my opinion that
people can change who they
are just be believing it
strongly enough.
I don’t like being female
and am happy when I act
like a boy, therefore,
I am a boy, and if you don’t
like it…
Why do you hate me?
It’s my opinion that
God isn’t real, that
he’s just a made up construct
to keep the masses happy.
What the bible can be
proven to be true?
Posh….It’s a lie and
you are just pulling at
false straws.
Why do you want to keep me captive?
It’s my opinion that
I can have whatever friends
I want and they won’t
influence my behaviour or
how I think about things.
I can stay true to myself
regardless of who I listen
to or the people that daily
fill my mind with thoughts
and ideas, even if some of them
make my heart shudder in a
not so good way.
Why do you say to guard my heart?
It’s my opinion that perhaps
I should pay attention to
those who just might
know better.
That I should present actual facts
to support my opinions.
That perhaps hatred is
not quite what I think it is.
The hole that I feel in my life
perhaps there’s a reason
it exists?
That older people saying to be
careful might know what
they are talking about?
