Dear Penni,
You are right fear is a major factor in the whole Ask God nightmare. I have been so overwhelmed and in some ways healed through that thread. Somehow I feel that confronting the hatred will help get rid of it. This may sound irrational but it has helped. Maybe by hearing of this man going so far with twisted beliefs they will wake up a little. My husband and I have a hard time with the term Christian for it is used by so many. We are Jews that believe Jesus is the Messiah and that is all we are. The man who did this to us is Donald Ray Anderson he is 48 years old and a member of the KKK and past member of the Aryan Nations. To me they are not close to being a Christian even though he says he did this because he loves Jesus Christ so much. UGH!!!! As on the Ask God thread Donald Anderson says he thought we were all worshipping satan. That is fear motivation huh.
I still like what Rodney King said Why can't we all just get along?
I enjoy and cherish each one of you and feel honored you will listen to me.
Today I have been very depressed because I saw a show on Nightline last night on the prisons in Texas. Well that is probably were this man will go and it was and is hard for me to see the deterioration of life there. Not to mention the humiliation. I don't know why this had to happen I don't really want him to go through that but I don't want him to hurt anyone either. I pressed charges in the beginning but when it went to a Federal trial I think it didn't matter anymore but I don't know. This is very hard for he will be sentenced on April 7 one week from Tuesday and my emotions are stired again. I could never work in a place like that.
The ungodly are not even close to the problems over there, I think the real problem is a mixture of pride and fear. Dangerous combination.
Thank you for your posts and your sensitivity, Nancy
