It's impossible to go through life not offending people. All you have to do is basically have an opinion on anything, and you're gonna offend people.
As an atheist, I am angry that we live in a society in which the plain truth cannot be spoken without offending 90% of the population.
I'm still very much an atheist, except that I don't necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that's a weird thing that I'm struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious.
Once you feel loved by the universe, you're already accepted, and you're not really concerned about offending people.
If you're not offending one group of people, you're not entertaining the other.
The hardest thing is spending twelve hours a day accommodating the rest of the world, then going home at night and criticizing it. I would be curious about what I'd write if I didn't have to worry about offending.
Like, my feelings on religion are starting to morph. I'm still very much an atheist, except that I don't necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that's a weird thing that I'm struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious.
Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone - except God.
God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we've done or we're about to do. At times like this, it's wise to prayerfully consider whether we're offending God with our actions.
But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive.
