For My Christian Friends

I have been kind of rough on Christians recently and have probably upset or alienated more than a few of you, to those I apologize.

Sometimes I tend to go off the deep end of the pool and don't look to see if there is water in it, recently I have done this on more than one occasion, While I take pride in being a Jew I understand YOU take pride in being a Christian, this I deeply respect.

I would never intentionally demean any of you good people and recently I have been on my worse behavior, the reasons shall remain my own.

I ask forgiveness from those I cause even one moment of harm. If you can find it in you hearts to do so I thank you ahead of time, if you cannot I understand and it's ok. All of your feelings about this matter are valid and I will not argue them any further.

I leave you all in peace.

Elie

That's so sweet Elie.

I follow the religious threads loosely...mostly because they get so LONG...heh.

I saw a little bit of it...and while I don't agree with the theology completely, I do respect and honor the Jewish faith.

Some Christians deserve a reality check.

I'm a laid back guy...so I'm not exactly up in arms about religion.  I figure I'll just be myself and wait and see where life takes me.

That's it, Elie, I'm never speaking to you again. Your threads have completely alienated me, and I hate your guts.

[/sarcasm]

We all fly off the hilt sometimes, friend. I know I do. I'd never hold it against you.

But you're a good man to apologize the way you have here. Takes a big man to do it.

Now, if you'd just be Moderate once in a while . . .

'Saul, Saul why persecutest thou me.'

Dear Moderateman,

It is an honour to suffer for His name, but the true wounds are upon His body not ours.

Love,

Thank you, Elie.

I stayed off of those threads because they're your feelings and I didn't want to stomp on them either. But I appreciate your kind words.

Well. These pagans may forgive you, but I for one intend to maintain my vendetta until the end of time.

Just kidding. God bless.

Good to know that if push comes to shove YOU understand what you are capable of, so many deny the basic truth of survival.
