If I have offended ANYONE then please accept my humble apologies. I truly did not mean to. I am open to suggestions as to how not to do so. I cannot guarantee to use them all but I can promise to think and consider.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

It is just that I have received "a few" emails that seemed to be from offended people. As I have told a friend They say the desire to apologize stems from a peace making desire due to being the youngest child. LOL I guess they are right but I truly try not to offend.

No I am not going to stop asking I am just trying to discover a way not to upset so many people if possible.

You can't please all of the people all the time. No matter how carefully one phrases a question there will always be that one person that finds fault with it. You do not need to apologize for that.. that becomes their problem not yours.
However, you are a very good and kind person to offer up an apology even when it is not needed.

Frankly Debra, I appreciate the candor in your questions. In this politically correct, feel-good world we live in, too many people have become overly sensitive. It seems that no one can have a discussion or disagreement and still be agreeable. That is a shame. It's almost to the point where it'll be illegal to "offend" someone, 1st Amendment notwithstanding.
I have never been offended by your questions, and I appreciate those that you bring to the table. Your questions are refreshing. Even those points that I may not agree with you on, I feel challenged, and I enjoy that.
So, keep up the good work!

Reading your profile, I understand the basis of your questions.
They do not seem provocative (unlike asking "Do Gays even know what a Bible is?") and are just trying to challenge (in a positive way) people to look at their faith.
I am not offended, but anytime you say "God", some people get freaked out.
[Please understand that I am using the gay question as an example of an intentionally provocative and insulting question. It does not reflect my personal feelings about gays]

Debra, never appologize for sharing God's word. There is nothing to be sorry for. The word of God is the truth. If the word of God offends someone, then they are in the wrong forum to begin with. Stand on the word of God firmly and do not falter one bit.
God bless you

The strong of mind are never offended, and the perfect never embarrassed. You will always offend someone, it is not your responsibility to know the way each of us perceive the world. It would be impossible anyway.

You will always offend some of the non-believers with your comments, do not worry about them, if you worry constintly about offending people, you will never be able to preach the word of God.

Does it actually matter?
And why?
Don't be such a woosy!
I've looked at your questions, and yes, they try to be deep and prying, but people who take offense to that sort of thing should not be on this site.
If it REALLY bothers you, you could stop asking questions.

You seem to take an intelligent and open-minded approach to your questions, which should serve as an example to others (including myself).
