You:
Is there a right way to phrase a response to someone who has made a
statement that you feel is Stupid?  Do we as Christians have the right from
our higher position (saved vs.unsaved) to tell someone that their beliefs
are Dumb?  Or is our duty to find a better way of conveying this idea?


Me:
We are to speak the truth in love.  The truth of the matter is that what
Bro. Mike said was garbage.  I love Bro. Mike in the Lord, but the truth is
the truth.  No one objected when I called his stuff about not havihng any
standards "refuse".  It means the same thing Dude.  What EXACTLY is it that
has stuck in you craw about this???  Refuse = garbage.  It is the nicer,
cleaner, fuzzyier warner word you are looking for???  Are there better words
for hypocrite, yet Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites!!!  That was the
unadulterated truth.  End of discussion.  Any racism is garbage and I have
repeatedly labeled it so.  Any self righteous judgment from a superior
attitude is garbage and I will continue to label it so.  Any doctrine of man
taught as equal or even above Scripture is garbage and I will continue to
call it so.  I will continue to say "Who are these dogs that blaspheme my
God by saying that He left some room for doubt and didn't provide for EVERY
situation!!!"  I have my sling shot in hand Dude and I have the Rock!  God
is guiding my hand and I cry out "... But I come in the name of the Lord!!!"

Stupid, Dumb, Trash, Moronic, Feeble, etc.  These seem like rather
rudimentry or base terms for saints of the Most High to utilize.  Wouldn't
you agree that there are BETTER ways of saying these things if they are
applicable, as someone once said "we all have STUPID ideas sometimes"?
