Hi, penni, I assume the linked message was actually posted to E., not me. I actually like to talk about religion, but only among those who are at least receptive to my point of view, even if they disagree. "Cast not your pearls before swine," etc.

Hi, Penni. You don't sound like a Pollyanna to me. A whole bottle?! <<<And the stuff I hated and rejected is what I see in lots of Emile's and some of Bob's writing. Nothing based on pure love should result in discrimination and exclusion and ignorance>>> On that topic, here's a link to a post exemplifying the Christian perspective at its discriminatory, hate-spewing worst. I saw this when someone posted this link here originally. Under the link, I'll excerpt some of the phrases, for those who don't click on links. Message 6554269 --unlike you, my children will honor decency and be viscerally repulsed by the stench of those who are members of your Sodomite unit. They will be good Christian soldiers, as you say, marching on to war, this, in purity and with honor, not cowering in the least before the likes of your filth and depravity. --it will ever be superior to the Sodomite unit --lap up filth like the dogs you are. --I would never soil a clean bullet by putting it in the likes of your perverted body. --I have no desire to come within a bullet's range of you. --viscerally repulsed by the stench of those who are members of your Sodomite unit. --touched your filthy excuse for a body. --getting too close to you, a thought I find repulsive beyond measure. --I on the other hand would prefer to avoid your ilk at nearly all cost --parading his filth and depravity in our streets, attempting to force his miserable existence upon decent people --filthy Sodomite --I will be willing to die to defend against you. --You are not worthy even to be killed by the likes of me When you read this, it is hard not to be reminded of H.L. Mencken's remark that "Mozart sweats beauty like a Christian sweats hate," even though I know it's a calumny against some Christians.
