Re: a fly on my pastor's ass
no. the point is...especially, to me, if it is a reflection of your own
self...why attack. i get the lashing out at what we hate in ourselves, all
i was saying is this:
leave her be...christian, pre-christian, seeking, not interested it doesn't
matter (in this respect, it certainly DOES matter). her struggles are hers,
as are all of ours, and don't need to become the world's porta-potty.
manners as someone mentioned. as a seeker yourself you could show a little
more compassion for issues you say are a place you'd like to leave behind.
the bottom line is......
creed sucks and i think we can all agree on that ;)
