Ann Bernhardt always makes a number of God points, but she seems to be unbalanced with rage. It’s very hard to listen to her yelling contempt and dripping sarcasm and costar claims of moral superiority while still parsing the bits of truth she wraps it around. She needs to adjust her meds, or get on some meds, or get off some meds, out eat better, or exercise more, out just stop writing until she finds some humility. She imagines she’s an Old Testament prophet, and claims “her job” is to dish out the tough love. No, Ann, you’re not. At least, not until you develop the immense compassion and love real saints have for the people they scold - rather than the derision, mockery and rejection of your screeds. You’re drunk with the sin of pride, Ann. Go to confession.

What are your thoughts on Saint Stephen’s speech before the council found in the Book of Acts chapter 7?

The saint’s words:

[51] You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also. [52] Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers: [53] Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. [54] Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him. [55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

So day after day you hear of babies being aborted by the millions per year.

And you don’t or won’t understand Ann’s rage.

Knowing of the atrocities of abortion and not EXPRESSING outrage may indicate a lack of moral maturity.

Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam

Tell that crap to Isaiah.

The renown arrogance of these truthy prophets of old just screams, “unbalanced with rage”.

People believed or didn’t believe back then too. Choice is still infinite, to live or die with, even today.

Obviously, we are all lining up accordingly.

She’s not a saint, she’s a scold. The world needs both.
