And what will you do in your new home? turn it into the very same kind of hell hole that you left? Also, I am a Christian and I'm happy, proud and pleased to be one since My Lord and Christianity have done far more for me in my life than you could ever possibly understand in your microscopic and very limited "world" view. (more like the view of a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of a deep well.) It would be a tremendous kindness to you if life, itself, so thoroughly kicked your ass and beat you down so hard that it entirely shattered and destroyed that enormous ego of yours and you were brought down to your right and proper size so you could finally see yourself as you really, truly are and shudder and scream in the sheer agony of that moment of absolute clarity.

You are horribly negative. I have known positive, driven, life-changing Christians before. They seem to get something from that religion. You just seem sad.

Thanks! I appreciate that. Since you don't know me personally, have never met me and don't even know me except through this one post that you responded to, that's a heck of a thing to say. I'm impressed that you could actually sit and spend so much time struggling to come up with that response.

You're right! On the surface I seem like an incredibly negative person full of bile and negativity. But, considering that we live in a world where pretty much everyone puts on a sickeningly saccharine well practiced and fake smile, glowing of joy and happiness in your face while they plot your demise then, yes, I can see how you'd get that impression. Actually, what you call "negative" is just what normal, honest people do when they're expressing themselves with openness and brutal honesty and directness.

Now, I'm glad you've known such happy Christians. Do they actually live what they preach? Maybe you should look into that.

I've known "upbeat, positive, driven, life-changing" Christians before, too. One is serving 20 years in prison for molesting the boys entrusted to him in a bible study class. Another was thrown out of a church for seducing and having sex with several of the wives of his fellow Christians, a third shot her husband to death when she found him in their bed with a thirteen year old girl and, finally, the last one stole 50,000 dollars out of Church funds, disappeared and has never been seen, again. Yep! Gotta love those "Cheerful, Upbeat, Driven" Christians who put on that lovely, smiling face and do the work of the devil whenever they get the chance. Finally, do you know any real Christians who actually strive to live the Word of God every day of their lives? I look forward to hearing your answer.
