"This blog may contain sensitive content. In general, Google does not review nor do we endorse the content of this or any blog. For more information about our content policies, please visit the Blogger Community Guildelines."
So reads the warning preceeding the opening of this blog. One has to click that he/she wants to continue to open the blog. I'm not sure how the assesment that it may contain "sensitive content" was made. I doubt that the blog police actually reads every blog. If "Google does not review" the content of blogs, how do they know it might contain what they call sensitive content? More likely there are certain words that raise an alarm and key the warning.
First, I hope the blog does indeed contain "sensitive content". My purpose without doubt is to appeal to the reader's senses. To cause thought and examination of the content is at the heart of my posts. My hope is that a reader will contemplate and consider the ideas and thoughts offered.
Secondly, no post I present will ever contain foul or obscene language. I would like to say that it will never contain "hate" language, but the truth is that in the culture of today, the line of hate language is ever-changing. One never knows what someone will consider hate language. Unfortunately, for some, if you disagree with them on a "sensitive" issue and state it openly, you have entered into the forbidden realm of "hate language." However, while I may disagree with some views on issues, I will purposely attempt to not be "hateful" or mean spirited in my remarks. I cannot control how anyone reacts to a dessenting view, but as a follower of Christ, I hope they will never feel rejected or "hated" as a person because of my disagreement.
Thirdly, my purpose is to be informative, inspirational, encouraging, and/or thought-provoking. I could hope all those would be achieved, but that's expecting a lot. Through the means of Biblical scripture with proper application I hope to direct thoughts to living life in the world we have and perhaps changing our little part of the world through example and application of Biblical truth.
Finally, avoiding "sensitive content" is to ignore the issues of life and truth.
