I thought it was a powerful testimony of the wages of sin, a repentant heart and the greatness of God's love and mercy.

Both sad and frightening.

Here's a reply.
Throwing one feel-good Christian story our way is tolerable. Anything beyond that starts to feel like I'm alone in an elevator with a priest. I'd rather mind my own business and avoid getting myself caught up in something that could get really uncomfortable.

gmroz22,
May I ask you a personal question?
Do you have any children?
If you tell me "none of your business", I'll understand and there will be no hard feelings.

No problem Buddy.
I don't have children. I don't know that I will have children. (BTW, I am 32).
For background, I have a catholic education (high school and undergrad). However, my education brought me to a realization about the purpose of religion. Since I don't have trouble coping with death, I don't have much need for religion. Perhaps that will change, but for now,I can do without.

that`s a very interesting comment......at 32,you feel sort of invincible,don`t you?..........
some doctor says something like prostate cancer or lymphoma of quadruple by-pass to you and you may consider reconsidering....
but,i hear you.....i thought your initial comment to buddy was very reasonable...and although i understand that a little subtle proselytizing may bug you a bit,clearly it doesn`t appear to drive you into an hysterical frenzy,like say,counselor "slip and fall"....
my feeling is that i can deal with being told i'm going to hell (for not accepting jesus or for someone being jewish or whatever).....
as my threads would lead you to surmise.it`s the people who try to send me there that i have a problem with.....i.e. radical islamists....
i`m still not entirely sure what to make of the new,devout buddy,myself.........something feels not quite right here......my sphincter tends to tighten involuntarily when i read these new "buddy" threads.....much like it does when i read something from f.lee haskell,esquire.......
if i`m wrong buddy,please forgive my skepticism....
Yeah, you got me pegged Weasel. I do feel invincible. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking about declaring war on a foreign country.
At what age do you think I will fall into the "grown up" category and no longer feel this sense of invincibility.
The part about me reconsidering is interesting because I did mention that "Perhaps that will change, but for now, I can do without." I'm human, not invincible....physically or mentally.
didn`t say you weren`t a "grown up"....don`t know you...just commenting on the human condition and my experience.....perceptions change as the mileage piles up on the old odometer....
i was 32 for about a year......i`ve been there....enjoy it....
JT,
If you don't mind me asking, why are you angry with Pat Robertson? I may have a chance to learn something here.
