Listen To The Gut
There is a festive graphic going around on facebook. It is about bullying, which no one is going to say they like. Like gossiping, it is a custom which few will admit to, but many practice. The definition is elastic, and gets bigger every day.
PG agrees with the first part of the graphic. He has been humiliated by Jesus worshipers. The problem with the graphic is the last two sentences. “Re-post if you are against bullying. I bet 99% of you won’t, but repost this if you’re that 1% with a heart.” Can we say passive aggressive bullying? 
The good news is that what can be displayed can be altered. A few minutes with an image manipulation program, and you can doctor the graphic into a more palatable message. It still goes on too long, but that is a problem for someone else. If you want to see the uncensored graphic, go here.
Teddy Roosevelt is a popular former POTUS. He reportedly was fond of saying “bully”. Only that isn’t what he really said. The rough rider used an eight letter word for bovine excrement.
It is said that if a man isn’t a liberal when he is twenty, he doesn’t have a heart, and if he is not a conservative when he is forty he doesn’t have a brain. PG is moving in on twenty plus forty. The possession of a heart, and a brain, is uncertain.
What is evident beyond doubt is the ownership of a gut. When someone tells PG to repost a message to prove he is not a terrible person, it does not agree with his gut.

Not to mention it’s a bit like a chain letter.
And it’s very 1993 early internet. I’d be embarrassed for the person posting it in the first place, particularly if we were related.
This is why I closed my FB account after only 2 months. I was SO embarrassed for family members.
They never wrote or called before; why should I make it easy for them to send me crap that constantly reminds me why I moved 2,000 miles to get as far away from them as possible ?
PS, the irony of the last picture is that it is a partial list of things god is annoyed about people.
I find it fascinating what x-tians tend to omit.
I hate those FB posts — and you’re absolutely right, it’s a passive-aggressive form of bullying. I absolutely love these photos.
I agree with your point and those are great pics.
