Just WHAT did...

[Nickychris3]

... Michael Jackson do to make you hate him so much????? I don't wanna hear any "Because he molested little boys" crap. I want a GOOD answer! Please explain why a majority of Christian people who know it's a SIN to judge other people are openly judging a man they've never even met. Can you please explain to me what it is he has done to you personally so that I can have a clear view on your opinion???

This is proboly going to be lock realy fast. Just to let you know.

[Nickychris3]

I don't care if I "offended", I needed to get that off my chest.

Ask your pastor/friends at church.

It is not judging someone to point out their sins to them, just FYI. In fact, the Bible commands us to inform a brother when they have committed wrong. To "judge" means to say, "This person is going to Hell." Because no one except God alone knows that.

At any rate, I think that while he probably did it, he was found innocent in a court of law. That's really all that matters.

[Nickychris3]

Are you "informing" him of his sins by talking about them in a forum behind his back? Didn't think so.

[Ashley]

Excuse me, but what right have you--who so accuse us of jumping to conclusions and judging others--to tell us we hate Michael Jackson?

Yes, many Christians have an strongly negative opinion of Michael Jackson. But since when are we not allowed to have such an opinion? It's not like any of us said we were going to kill him. Everyone I know of has mentioned their dislike of him and his actions as they would a dislike of a certain food; certainly not in a hateful way like you seem to think we have.

By the way, hate is murderous intent towards someone. Since you, a human, cannot judge intent, how can you say any of us have HATED him? Aren't you becoming the very thing you despise by saying this?

If this thread becomes ugly, I'm going to lock it and you will most likely be banned. We don't have to put up with trolls here and I won't tolerate borderline trollish behavior long. But if you can stay sensible and calm, then some good may yet come of this.

[Locke]

much????? I don't wanna hear any "Because he molested little boys" crap.

That's a pretty good answer right there friend.

[Nickychris3]

I don't care if i'm banned. And yes, I admit I was wrong for saying you hated him. But it certainly gave me that impression. Considering the things some people say about him here. I didn't mean for it to come off as yelling when I posted what I did, and I apologize for my rudeness. I'm just not in the happiest of moods right now and don't want to talk about it. Again I apologize. But I would still like to hear a reasonable answer considering I started this whole mess. And as for Locke, that ISN'T a good answer.

[Nate]

For the record, I actually like a lot of Michael Jackson's earlier work. "Thriller" was a pretty awesome album.

[gungrave]

If it makes ya feel better, I never stopped liking him or 'judged' him. oh and umm, go Ashley

[Nickychris3]

My favorite album is Invincible. (even though it was stolen.... argh...)

[Ashley]

As for a "reasonable answer", most of us were pretty convinced he DID molest boys, which is wrong Biblically on two counts: one, homosexuality and two, pedaphilia. And Christians in this country long ago learned to stop looking to the judicial system of the United States to be the moral authority in this country, so THAT's why we (I speak for the majority you address) dislike him. It's like asking why do we dislike the liberal politicians who support abortion.

By the way, I strongly suggest that if in the future you want to avoid immediate banning (I went against my gut feeling and let this stay open), get a xanga for rants like this. Throwing a hissy fit on CAA does nothing but trouble and stirs up dissention and fights. So consider this a warning--go find somewhere else to rant and rave about things like this. End of discussion, thread closed.
