Why are we all so uptight!

I feel a righteous urge to tell people to mind their own business and to avoid condemning others of your own convictions. It feels so good to get it off the chest and yet at the same time I feel like  hypocrite. In the age of Facebook, My Space, Google+, and yes even emails we can be subjected to others opinions and convictions everyday. And, because we subscribe to them we are willing subjects. And yes, I am one of those who does share my beliefs in God, abortion, politics etc... Why, even today I posted a link on Facebook about pro life! And here it is cause why not share it on my BLOG:

UGH! I feel even more like a hypocrite. :)
I guess my righteous indignation is more about benign topics like books I read or movies I watch. I feel like each of us need be careful to what we subject our selves to but, each person has the ability to decide what that is. I have felt it, conviction from God, about watching a particular movie when I shouldn't and, believe me, I have at times the nightmares that I wouldn't have if I would have obeyed it.
Books that I have liked but have been condemned about reading, Harry Potter, Twilight, Dragon Lance, The Lord of the Rings etc... I understand why some would have a conviction about reading these, but I don't. So let me delight in these fantasies because I absolutely enjoy them. I know and feel His conviction on my own and hopefully, when I do feel it, I will heed it.
