In Preparation for August

Bingo! That was right on the money... not that we're placing bets or lusting after money, or anything like that.

I agree that I am abnormal. The bible says "peculiar"

LOL .. I believe it's the KJV that says "peculiar", but back then peculiar didn't necessarily mean abnormal... in fact it still doesn't mean that, it just means 'different' or 'unusual'. I use a modern translation in order to avoid this sort of confusion, because the usage of words today isn't exactly the same as it was a few hundred years ago. I have nothing against the KJV, it's just that the English language has changed a bit since 1611.

In a different thread, a few people have decided to designate August as a hate-free, disrespect-free, and rude-free month for the spirituality forum.

Perhaps RHP staff should rename this place the "Fantasy Forum" during the month of August.

Did God have anything to do with it?

That was strange, but maybe she had no choice... maybe she was ordered to say that under threat of punishment.

Your attempt to equate Christians with Nazis is so obviously self serving it doesn't deserve a reply. But you did it in a way that contrasts the difference between you and the woman in your story.

She was willing to be fair and honest under threat of punishment, whereas you are willing to be unfair and dishonest under no such threat. It amazes me you would paint someone like her in such glowing terms and then at the end show the contrast between you and her.

Before you start calling me disingenuous I suggest you just frigging answer my questions!
I'll enter into a conversation with you on this topic, but I dislike assuming I know what you
mean. If you could just give me the same I'd think we could advance this discussion beyond
name calling and insults.

Apparently poor 'reading comprehension' to you means I'm not easily swayed by poor reasoning skills.
