Why You Shouldn't Argue Online

About this sermon

if you're as opinionated and self righteous as I am, then leaving a disagreeable online comment or post alone is really hard to do. There's this irresistible compulsion to want to put that person in their place. It's not enough to be right, we have to remind people that we are right with an impressive demonstration of our reason and moral aptitude. If we can be honest with ourselves, though, those arguments never go anywhere. They never produce the results we were hoping for and if nothing else, they tend to put everyone, ourselves included, in a bad mood. So, with that in mind, I created a rule for myself to never get into arguments online. This video explains why. ---------------------------------- Many of the ideas in my videos are concepts that are covered in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Even if you're not a Catholic, I really strongly recommend you take an opportunity at some point in your life to read it. It's an incredible document that was developed under the supervision of one of the most profound philosophers of the 20th century; John Paul II. I'm also heavily influenced by the writings of C.S. Lewis. In fact, that's an understatement. He's by far my greatest influence and if you haven't already been exposed to his writing, I strongly encourage you to check it out. Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity are a great place to start.
