Only Human

I speak my mind a lot. I post pictures and videos of Kathy Griffin (anti-Jesus comedian) and quotes a lot of pro-gay and anti-religion quotes on my Facebook wall. Some deleted me, but I didn't care. One person told me I was being too pushy. So it's okay to post Jesus and shove it down my throat, but not okay to post atheist things? I wasn't trying to convert anyone. I have a Christian family and I can't express these views to them. My Facebook is a good place to do so and I love it!

Learning to assert yourself with confidence and maintain the balance of respect and dignity is a great way to develop an awesome character. Being true to yourself is likely a prerequisite for that! So I respect your willingness to even give a shit at your age. When I was 17 I couldn't have cared LESS what others thought of my assertions! You are admirable.

As for Facebook, it is a wonderful extension of my life with my family and friends. I keep my personal FB PERSONAL with no "friends of friends" or public BS. My timeline has my entire family history documented in pics and music and poetry and quotes and all sorts of other tid bits that endear the site for how I use it. My family and friends often express gratitude for being encouraged by visiting my FB Timeline. BUT, then just like Blue notes, the pseudo pages are the only way to use FB for the more public or controversial stuff. I maintain one of these too, just so I can use it as a tool too, but I am very careful to respect my own boundaries between my personal and the psuedo.

A man who learns himself and holds true with respect and dignity is worth his weight in gold! So hang in there and stay open!!!
