If you say "yes", you alienate the non-Christian readers.
If you say "no", you offend the Christian readers because you are attacking the core of their beliefs. If there is no Jesus, there is no Christianity.
By leaving the door open, you get responses like "beautiful" and "thoughtful" because people are just turning the answer into what they want it to be. But, I guess that makes some people feel good. I just find this interesting, because this pattern is repeated quite a bit in the media, popular blogs, books, etc. |
Yes. But if you say what you think you're using the greatest american belief. Freedom. You're free to think the way you want to think. That's democracy. You can't do that in a dictatorship. Everyone must think the same way and can't bring different points of views.
I don't think you "attack" anything when you give your opinion, it's just an opinion, you can think about it or forget it. Just like if I said the Earth is flat...
Well... Some said it was round and orbiting round the Sun and the Catholic Church didn't like it much... :-/. They told (and still do) people what to believe... and maybe think the others are telling them so. No, we're just talking, not preaching.
Do what you will, think what you want to think.... or not..
