links

i was checking over my links tonight to make sure they were all working, and started wondering if i should even include the set of sites that make me angry. i'd really hate to direct more traffic towards those sites. and there are so many more sites i know of that are so much worse, that i can't even bring myself to link to those.

if i really wanted to put a site up that makes me angry, then i'd link to something like fred phelps' site - you know - the crazy preacher who has his church members go around protesting at military funerals to let everyone know that homosexuals are the downfall of our country and that they, and we, are all going to hell. but there's no way i want another link on the web going to that website. he doesn't need anymore traffic, i don't want him thinking people believe his hellish lies.

so if i don't consider that okay to do, then why do i even include the sites i have listed there? i'd like to think that i believe that they are less harmless than phelps. but is that really true? i mean, these are sites that are all about dissension and focusing on the minor issues instead of on Jesus.

i guess for now i'll leave them, as i continue to wonder about the wisdom of this decision. maybe i'll take some time to actually talk about each one and why i have them listed there.
