Dang, marykmusic, I could be wrong, but I think your "self righteous finger" was pointed at me. Well, here's "where it goes from here". And, I promise you, it's not the Firepit. Really! I complain, right here and now,to you, and anyone else who makes unjustified assertions, that I have not, in any way, minimized brother "meekster's" honest thoughts or feelings expressed by him on this thread.<br><br>Did you NOT notice, that for any and every "one" finger I pointed at him, I truthfully pointed the other nine back at myself? And, for God's sake, the rest of you, I don't want to hear ANY excrement here on this thread to the effect of, "heh-heh, he said the nine"---settle down, you Beavis-heads. I never even heard of the nine 'til I found Jeff's blog. Get over it.<br><br>I AM neither homophilic, nor homophobic. I just choose to believe the words of the Holy Bible, over and above, the words of any other holy book, prophet, or pagan system that, in my stupid (university-conferred, hard-earned B.A) opinion, advocates ignoring the well written words of the handbook of humanity, A.K.A., "Life, the Universe, and Everything"<br><br>Instead of disparaging Jesus, which, to too many R.I.ers, seems to come all too easily, why don't one of us, maybe even me, start a thread called "What Do YOU, Yes, YOU, Mr., Ms., or Mrs. Know-It-All, ACTUALLY Believe Happens To The Entity That You BELIEVE Yourself To Be, When You Physically DIE? I would actually be very interested in the answers, because, I already know, after years of reading, what the Catho-Musli-Bapti--Methodi-Mormo-Juda-Bhudda-Paga-Anima-Hind-Whatevers believe. Why don't the rest of you (and, a few of you already have) come out of your spiritual closets and tell the rest of us, not only what you believe is "behind the curtain", but, WHY you believe it. Let's face it, R.I.ers, this really is "Where the Rubber Meets the Road".<br><br>We're all going to die someday, so share with us what you truly believe, but knowing the gang here, you'd better be prepared to defend it!<br><br>Maranatha, Peeps<br> <p></p><i></i>
