In the history of this blog, I have received 1 comment and it happened a few days ago. I was thanked for a donation I had made to Michael Voris of ChurchMilitantTV.
I've never made a donation...
But, ironically, this was on the heels of a recent comment I left on a blog post of somebody else, who was discussing Michael Voris. And in all honesty, my comment, while not meant to stir the pot, was simply a suggestion to take what Mr. Voris says with a grain of salt.
Ok, I think I more accurately called him "nuts."
I've never met Michael Voris. Based on what I've read, and the very brief amount of video I have seen on his YouTube channel, I'm not a fan of his delivery. And I'm not so sure I agree with his take on Catholicism, either, but I'm not very well versed in his ideas.
So it was a bit surprising to see his name crop up. I have no idea if the two events- the comment I made and the comment I received- are related, but I can't help but think about scripture lines about turning the other cheek and doing good to those who persecute you. Have I been the recipient of such love of one's enemy?
I never set out to persecute anybody. But my words were careless. Furthermore, I forgot something important- Michael Voris is also one of God's beloved children. I forgot that he is a real person, with real feelings, real beliefs, a real soul. I'm sorry.
So... Thank you for the comment, ChurchMilitantTV. Thank you for helping me learn this lesson a little.
