I have to hand it to you you said what you felt how did that make you
feel comforted I hope. Now consider how your post made Judy feel, it
hurt her feelings. So you see what one of us says could possibly hurt
another. And did it really hurt you so bad to read her post; it
certainly hurt her to read yours. Judy's post was a general wish for
every human being. Your post, Norm, was a direct attack on Judy
herself. I don't know when you started reading posts, perhaps just
recently. Must be true because you have never attacked any of my
works as they area filled with Christian beliefs metaphores and
stories, as I am a Christian. I am also a human being and as such I
believe every person deserves respect and should be allowed to
express anything that helps them or anyone else to cope with life.
I will defend your right to your beliefs or opinions if they help you
to cope as long as they don't directly attack the opinioins or
beliefs of another and vice-versa. Niether you or I can change what
has been said; Nor can we change the effect it has on the world.
Guess what though there is one person who can change the effect of
your words on the world his name IS JESUS CHRIST and he IS GOD.
Whether or not you believe that is, irrelevant to me, that is between
you and your God or non-God. I will, however, pray for you.
As I have not quoted any percentages you cannot attack any figures
the only thing I have stated is a respect for a human being and a
respect for whatever "means" they may employ to help them cope with
life's troubles. Followed by a brief statement of my beliefs to let
you know my perspective and lastly a prayer because I believe my God
asked me to do that.
With all due respect,
