How am I bullying him? I asked him something, he went off in some other direction about Brother Epley, I brought the conversation back to where it started, he answered my question, I responded, he gave me a 10-4, and everyone's happy. Ain't no bullying going on, unless you want to count that bat you're holding in your hand!

No you're right Rico.. you didn't give him a hard time at all.
And I don't really have a bat in my hand... that little picture isn't me...

I have observed some conservatives are very uncomfortable with Christians (or even non-Christians for that matter) who are more liberated than they are themselves.
As a conservative:
1. Do you feel anger or a rightous indignation when around those with a more liberal lifestyle?
2. Do you feel extremely distracted or irritated when a women in slacks and earrings, or a man in shorts
worships God with you at church?
3. Do you feel it is your duty to tell other other Christians they are wrong and you are right in lifestyle?
4. Are you content to show your more conservative lifestyle as appealing, or do you feel compelled to inform them they are mislead?
Disclaimer: Concerning dress and adornment my family and I live quite conservatively - even by UPC standards. My wife and children have long hair (even uncut) and they do wear skirts rather than pants. We wear very little jewelry and my own ears aren't pierced etc... But we do not look down on others - niether in word or practice. We have had many discussions in our community about our modest dress (partly due to the TV show we were part of) but never with the attitude of superiority because of our choices.
BUMP!
Major hijacking goin on in this thread... Anyone else want to give some serious answers?

2. Do you feel extremely distracted or irritated when a women in slacks and earrings, or a man in shorts

3. Do you feel it is your duty to tell other other Christians they are wrong and you are right in lifestyle? No. I never have done that, and I don't plan on starting. I did have one lady ask me during choir practice about a certain type of clothing, and I responded by telling her maybe she should ask our pastor.
4. Are you content to show your more conservative lifestyle as appealing, or do you feel compelled to inform them they are mislead? I have not felt compelled to inform anyone that they have been mislead.
