Thread: Convert-itis
After reading your reply I re-read my post and realized that it looked like I was singling you out. Forgive me. That was certainly not my intention.
I agree with you, it is an arbitrary & silly distinction.
The point I was attempting to make is that, even though such things can hurt our feelings and offend us, we can also use them as an opportunity for spiritual growth.
Which isn\'t to say it\'s okay for hurtful and offensive behavior to run unchecked.

I suppose others have different and valid takes on it. Mine is an annoyance that some people are so quick to dismiss converts simply because they weren't baptized as an infant. It seems such an arbitrary distinction to make on how to decide who to ignore and who to disparage when really we should be doing neither.
