HelpRe: Could Revival work as a name?
in reply to a message by Wish Fish
In theory it could, and Jubilee has and that's similar in feel if not meaning.
But it just doesn't work. Probably never did; back in Puritan times when all kinds of virtue names were the thing, there was no such thing as revival meetings.
And it just never got off the ground. And now it kind of also sounds like something you use on yoru hair or your houseplants to try and perk them up.
PS: There is no need to order people to "not mock Christians" or anything else. We know not to do that, and the ones that don't know wouldn't listen anyway.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Wishfish takes anything disparaging or disagreeing with their world view as being mocking, probably because they're young and from a homogeneous population of people just like them, and they haven't been forced to deal with people with different world views than them too much.
People here are allowed to not like a thing, and there've been great conversations had here between rival viewpoints, so long as things are civil. I don't like critical discourse being automatically labeled as 'mocking' when it's not, especially in the case of your comment Roxstar, where you said nothing wrong.
Anyway, I enjoy the name Jubilee, but that's because she's my favorite mutant in the X-Men lineup. Next to X-23 that is. Revival sounds like another mutant name to me, maybe a mutant who can spark life or energy into people, like a living AED lol

I mean generalizing that all Christians are white redneck trump supporting doofs. That is not Christians at all.
Nobody here has done that and I doubt they were planning to do so. I don't know anyone in real life who has such an opinion of Christians. Stop telling people what you think they will do.
Who here mocked christians?
nobody ...

The poster also posts under different names and lately I feel that a good portion of new topics are started by this one person. So annoying since most are about one of their random opinions and how incredulous they are that there are people who disagree with them.
No one
