Comments on: Daily Breakfast 489 – Near Death http://sqpn.com/2008/05/29/db489-near-death/ Leading the Way in Catholic New Media Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:06:33 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Tim http://sqpn.com/2008/05/29/db489-near-death/comment-page-1/#comment-15440 Tim Thu, 29 May 2008 20:46:01 +0000 http://sqpn.com/2008/05/29/db489-near-death/#comment-15440 I am starting to worry about the creep of bigotry and what can probably be described as extremist possibly even racist opinions being aired on these comments pages. When I first started listening to the DB it was about smoothies, broccoli soup, movies etc, the feedback reflected fun and interesting things going on peoples lives. What I have heard in the last few episodes and read on the comments has almost prompted me to unsubscribe (unthinkable as this show is my entertainment on the way to work...) I am a born Catholic, lapsed and drawn back, largely down to Fr Roderick, I am proud of my faith and of the tolerance that I feel. I am from London, directly affected by the Islamic extremist bombs of July 7 2005. What made London stand out that day was the unity and support that we showed each other - values that we as Christians all strive to achieve daily were achieved without effort that day by ALL Londoners, British, asian, Muslim, Christian. I feel that comments and feedback recently have been used as propaganda, people with an agenda, displaying language and attitude that I find damaging to our faith, damaging to our future. Muslim bashing is not good. Muslim children are no different to children from the roughest housing estates of south London or from the spoilt Brats of the mansions in Chelsea.

You had commented before that to you no comments means no one is reading ... well just because you get no (positive) emails on your website doesn't mean that no one finds your website to be nicely laid out ... We just haven't emailed or found need to comment on it. So the same works for Blogs too, I would say. Particular -- Well ... Then I don't want to die. God is the only reason I would die and if I'm not going to be any closer to Him that I am now and I can't sit down with Him and ask lots and lots of questions (and actually get answers immediately) than ... there's no reason to die. I also want to have coffee with the Saints and discuss life with them. I can't do that either?! I don't want to die then. Proxy -- Should you be really discussing this ... openly? Isn't it illegal???
