OT--Thank you Jesus....
John 19: 1-3,17 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face. 17 So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).
So Thankful He did this to set us free!

My Dear LeaAnn:
You are correct--I could keep my beliefs to myself--I choose not to do so. Spirituality is a part of me and is important to me. It is part of who I am and so I express it from time to time. At his point it is still a free country, and thankfully I have that right--as of now.
I have seen your beliefs in action--and you have the right to believe and say anything you want--to anyone and that of course includes me.
If you think about it however--you will remember that I have never said anything to you--or about what you believe that has been disrespectful--and I won't. I also will not argue with you about our difference in beliefs. There is no need.
In the end, if I am wrong and you are right--there is an eternity of nothing for me. On the other hand, if I am right--and you are wrong--well, let's just say I had rather be me in any case.
Finally, since I am not going to bash you, or argue with you, or get my feelings hurt by you, and I am so dumb --why bother with me? You have much bigger fish to fry. I have been to the R&R board, and I am sure you can find people that will clash with you, curse at you, demean you, or whatever you want.
And as mad and indignant as it will make you--I will continue to remember you in my prayers. I won't do it publicly though so as not to upset you. Prayer is a comfort to me. I hope you find something that comforts you as much..
Have a good day
Gary

Gary, I am going to go out on a limb here and tell you to ignore the previous reply. I don't usually even respond because it seems to just add fuel to a useless fire. Every so often we have people who try to destroy our board. I don't understand the pleasure they get out of harassment but if everyone will just ignore they will soon go away.
Like I said, I don't usually respond at all because I am such a wimp and I will cry if they hurt my feelings. But I don't want them to hurt your feelings either.

The nonbelievers try to destroy the board.
Please tell me how. How does her stating her believes try to destroy "your" board? Because a statement like the one you made comes across to me as you saying that your believes are just not strong enough to stand up to someone who does not believe as you do. So, please, help me understand this.
