I run my page. I write all my articles. I own the page. I pay for it. I don’t receive money from some sponsor who looks at my stats. If you are a regular reader you know that there is a star rating system for my articles from 1 to 5. I’ve noticed over the last few months there is a malcontent, or cadre of them, who think in some way they are harming me by rating all of my articles 1 star. This is pretty humorous to me. It is some little passive aggressive internet troll behind their device chuckling to themselves every time they give me a single star. The only reason I put that rating system in, was to see how well certain reviews were received. The next time I update my page layout, I’ll remove the rating system. Enjoy it while you can trolls. Jesus commands everyone, everywhere to repent. I encourage you to repent, and put your trust in Jesus Christ before it is too late. This life is but a vapor. Eternity is well, eternal.
I know how you feel, on Good Reads, I received a one star review from one reader that never read the book. Looking into their reviews, any Christian book they supposedly read received a one star. It seems targeting Christian’s on the rise, but God is in control, I pray for these poor soul that God may take the scales from their eyes.

Mr. Snyder,
How vacuous, we ought to believe in the fair ability to rate and review writing that is available for public consumption! I understand your strife but I do employ you to consider that no two people move in the same manner.
Sincerely,
Phill Shufftner

Did you mean, “implore” instead of, “employ?” Thanks for calling me vacuous. You’re funny. You don’t think I can spot a trend? Troll behavior is obvious. I do have analytics for my site. It is expected to have articles that don’t get good ratings when they are pointing out theological error in certain cults. When every article gets bad ratings you know you have a troll. Consistently good ratings for more than a decade, and then recently every article gets an equal amount of bad ratings. It doesn’t matter though. My readers, and I are the only ones who sees the ratings. They have no effect on the propagation of my articles. Feel free to click those little stars as much as you want. It doesn’t change anything for my site. Like I said, if you read the article, I’ll be removing them the next time I feel like updating the design. I simply haven’t gotten around to it. I can imagine the person on the other end clicking away and feeling potent. It gives me a bit of a chuckle.

Sir, not sure how it says employ but I am certain I wrote and sent implore. I am no troll. but I fear that you are trolling. Christianity is truly a movement of love and I do not see you sharing that. I do not see you loving your neighbor as yourself. If someone is different it would seem you are scared of them, so much so that you hate them and have to give excuse as to why they are evil. Jesus did not walk this earth so that you could use Christianity as a weapon. He walked this earth so that the lowest of people could be saved and cared for, so that people would not do what you are doing. If you continue thats fine, but remember: There is no strength in hate, there is no God in hate, and there is no redemption for the bashing of oppressed people. What would Jesus do.

Look at your own posts sir! trans people, gay people, women, people of other religions. im not here to say what is right and wrong but simply would like to make it abundantly clear that the majority of what i have read on your blog is Christianity as a weapon! I follow Jesus! I believe in his goodness and his care for the exact groups of people you like to single out. our God is not one of hate, not one to blame others!

God is love, but He is also just, and His wrath is perfectly just. Eternity in hell, having Him pour out His wrath on the impenitent, is a fate I wish on no one. People need to be warned. God has already passed judgment. We are all guilty. The groups you referred to, are not being warned by most people. They are simply content to smile, and wave as they step out of this world into eternal torment. That is not Christian love. Love warns about what God has already judged. Gay people need to repent, & trust Christ. People of other religions need to repent, & trust Christ. Evil must be decried in the town square. The internet is the new equivalent of that square. If you don’t want to warn them, I will. If a man dies in his sin, he will not receive mercy, & grace from the Creator. He will receive justice. I would rather have mercy. Mercy is only found in Christ. No other! It is exclusive because the one true, & living God is exclusive. There are no other ways. You can try to love people into the kingdom. I will hold their feet over the fire, so that the heat from the flames of hell might put the fear of the Lord into them. The proverbs say, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
