Ignorant and insensitive
This was posted on Facebook and is wrong on so many levels
"People who are addicted to drugs and alcohol hurt those that love them most. Pray that their addiction to Christ will rid them of their sinful weakness."
I am a practicing Christian and this shows such ignorance I find it hard to believe. When I read this my blood pressure shot up 20 points. No wonder so many have a negative opinion of organized religion. Us alcoholics and addicts are likely possessed by demons to.

I have a couple of FB friends that frequently post religious views that sometimes make me cringe. I usually just let it go. I've also recently learned the concept of Unfriending people that annoy me (not just religious people), so that's always an option.

Your headline shows that u understand where the statement came from... I have realised that engaging individuals and telling them of my story and the story of others also help me... Who are better equipped to educate the ignorant and sensitise the insensitive than us?

Don't worry about it, Wakko. Sometimes we just need to vent.
There's a new article going around FB that describes 42 of you typical friends - rich friend, condescending friend, party friend, etc. it's pretty funny, esp if you are on FB.

I've since deleted Tinder (google if you don't know what it is) after two days and now I think I'm gonna delete my effbook again.

FaceCrook?
Deleted my account just after they started. Now getting Google off all my computers and in a month my Android Google phones are gone too in favor of Nokias with Win 8. Then only the NSA will be eavesdropping and not because I let them in!
