There's this guy who's at least 30 years old and I'm 13. He read my profile and emailed me because I said, "I like Pit Bulls." He's trying to prove to me that Pit Bulls are bad. I will never in my entire life believe that because I have one! He says he doesn't care yet he's trying to convince me that Pit Bulls are bad. Doesn't make sense. He emailed me, then I kindly told him that God doesn't want us to hate what He created, but now he things I've judged him! Remember, he's 30 years old arguing with me, a 13 year old! Even though, I'm young I can certainly tell that he's not exactly mature for his age.

This is his repsonse to my email:
In response to your ABSURD response, I ask, SHOW ME IN THE BIBLE where it says that "loving Pit Bulls" is a requirement for BEING SAVED! Are you sure that YOU are A Christian? I don't know what "Bible" you read, but according to THE WORD OF GOD, not "Pit Bull lovers of America" or whatever cult it is that you belong to, the ONLY way to "be a Christian" is FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! And guess what? There is NOTHING in scripture that tells me that the EVIDENCE of my "Christianity" is to "love thy neighbor's PIT BULL as thyself." You are SO WRONG in such a belief! If you even HAVE a Bible, and IF you know how to READ IT, I'd suggest you go back and see where Jesus said that the "two Great Commandments" are to "LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH", and that "THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT, NAMELY, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF."

And then He added, "ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." Like I said, there is NOTHING ANYWHERE in the entire Bible that even REMOTELY supports your CRAZY BELIEF! And guess what? What you have done is JUDGED ME, and that is called PLAYING GOD! Which causes me to wonder EVEN MORE where YOUR HEART is at? As for "Pit Bulls", no, you're WRONG! God did NOT "make them" any more than He made ILLEGAL NARCOTICS AND ALCOHOL! Those dogs were BRED BY MAN TO HURT AND KILL, and I don't care HOW "nice" yours is! The ENTIRE LOT of them should be WIPED OUT!

PS.....not only are YOU guilty of the very "hate" you say I am "full of"......again, you JUDGE AND CONDEMN ME as basically an "unbeliever", yes! THAT is "hate", because again, it's how you treat OTHER PEOPLE that counts WITH GOD, not animals, and ESPECIALLY one that is PROVEN DANGEROUS to the human race! It is LOVE to PROTECT YOUR FELLOW MAN from something as EVIL AND DANGEROUS as Pit Bulls! But also, you show such HYPOCRISY in what you say! You LOVE ANIMALS OVER PEOPLE! You don't "see my faith"? What kind of stupid statement is that? You have NO idea what my life is like, you've NEVER met me, so how could you KNOW what "my faith" is like? Get a grip on REALITY little girl! I told you, I've been saved MORE THAN TWICE AS LONG as you've been alive! So guess what? It's YOU that should listen and take heed to ME, not the other way around! Because I am the one with the EXPERIENCE as a Believer in Jesus Christ!

And again, I CHALLENGE YOU to find and SHOW ME and PROVE TO ME a BIBLICAL BASIS for your ABSURD ACCUSATIONS against me! And if you cannot, then I'd suggest you GIVE UP such a FOOLISH belief! And one that I DO NOT respect! I love you and will PRAY FOR YOU! But you have SO MUCH TO LEARN! So, like the old saying goes, "PUT UP OR SHUT UP!"

Your "crazy belief" is that one is "a Christian" if they LOVE PIT BULLS! And that they're NOT if they DON'T! That IS what you said, in essence! It is YOU that needs to go back and READ WHAT I SAID! And as for as "God's commandments", Jesus said, "On THESE TWO commandments" (the ones I quoted you) "hang ALL the law and the prophets". ALL of God's commandments are summarized in "LOVE GOD" and "LOVE THY NEIGHBOR"! And really, what else IS there? Certainly not "love pit bulls" as YOU implied one must do to be "a Christian"! And don't try to lie or weasel your way out of this, because it is YOU that attacked my faith in Christ as "a Christan" just because I have NO USE for such a viscious breed as PIT BULLS! I don't really CARE about YOUR dog and what it's done for you! The FACT is that that PARTICULAR breed of dogs are DANGEROUS!
2006-09-25 11:44:32 · update #5
They are a THREAT to our society, and that is PROVEN by the fact that they are the ONLY breed that CONSISTENTLY ends up in the news, not for HEROICS, like OTHER dogs, but for HARMING people! They are a MENACE to society and should be ELIMINATED TOTALLY! And as far as my statement asking about "which Bible you read", I'm sorry you're not intelligent enough to figure out a purely RHETORICAL statement! My point with that statement was pointing out that there is NOTHING in the Bible to support your ABSURD notion that LOVING PIT BULLS EQUALS LOVING GOD ("Christianity")! We are NOT required by God to LOVE any animal! But we ARE required to LOVE PEOPLE!
Doesn't sound Christian to me.

26 -28 God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them
reflecting our nature
So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
the birds in the air, the cattle,
And, yes, Earth itself,
and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."
God created human beings;
he created them godlike,
Reflecting God's nature.
He created them male and female.
God blessed them:
"Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."
----------------------------
I can't believe he thinks I'm attacking him when he's the one that emailed me first about it! He's also trying to make me "give up the belief". I don't think that's right. I'm not going to open up any of his emails anymore. I enjoyed the debate. But, him being a 30 yr old attacking me, a 13 yr old.
Do you agree with him? Why?
2006-09-25 11:48:45 · update #7
I am not about to waste my time reading all of this crap.
e-mail this idiot back immediately.And tell him the following.
God gave man domain over the animals.
It's very unfortunate that so many believe that because of this it's alright to abuse and neglect them.You apparently are one of those people.And rest asured that I do not think God put man above the animals so he could pick and choose which of the animals would be allowed life.AND wiping out certain ones completely because a select few hate them is NOT in Gods plan.
We as humans have no more right to do this than Hitler had the right to eradicate the Jews.
Are you Hitler re-incarnated?Did'nt get the job done with the Jews so now you're picking on pitbulls?
I am 13 yrs.old sir.I did not seek you out as you did me and any further contact from you will be considered harrassment.I have saved your e-mails and will give them to my parents as I'm certain they will know who to turn you in to for annoying me.
In closing I just want to say that you're an idiot in my opinion.And like it or not I am entitled to that opinion as you are entitled to yours.
I also truly hope that you grow a brain very soon.As I cannot understand how you've made it this far in life without one.
That should do it for ya.

Enough is enough, end the debate now and block his email. It's obvious you guys are never going to agree, so just agree to disagree, and quit while you are ahead. By the way it doesn't matter what anyone on here thinks about pit bulls, all that matters is that you love yours and treat it with dignity and respect.

Tell your parents, block his email address and if he continues to bother you call the police for harrassment. everyone is entitled to their beliefs but no one has the right to insult you like that. He apparently doesnt understand that his isnt talking to an adult(no offence) Good for you loving your dog. i have a pit bull too and shes a baby. I love her so much and i think that its great that you are giving the "bad" (as people like to say) bred a good loving home. The only thing i have to say to people like him is there isnt bad dogs only bad owners.

Do not have anything to do with him any more, he is ignorant and you can not help those who can not be helped. Your young but trust me you find crazies like this throughout life. Ignore them, I have a Pit who is great and the smart people know the truth. He is NOT worth your time, and you are right God does want us to love all things He created.

first thing...BLOCK HIS EMAIL!!!!!!! he's a nut..pitbulls are wonderful dogs and dont let anybody tell you different !!!! I am against any type of breed ban ..what is needed is more responsibility on the owners part...spay and neuter,obey leash laws,no backyard breeders that arent breeding for the best qualitys of the breed instead of trying to make a quick buck

OMG, I'm thirty and as you can tell by my name, I love pits and have raised a few with my kids! Do me a favor, tell this guy to shove it and if he wants, I'll have a not so nice conversation with him. At least he'd be picking on someone his own age! NO dog is born viscious, it's all based on their owner! BSL is racial discrimination!
