Breathe buddy. I even alluded to the article’s portion that led to my comment

I’ve thrown nothing

If you are that angry at me then I ask only that you pray for me

You mean your last post regarding pink shirt to the blue one, which again fails to substantiate your charges(not that you ever tried until this fallacious attempt) that "She was not strongly committed to hear [her] faith. She was living in delusion" "She kept asking for signs to prove that God is real. That is delusional." For as said, rather than not being strongly committed to her faith, she earnestly sought to serve God in line with Scripture (graduating with a double major in education and Biblical studies, marrying her college love and following him to his international job call, teaching Bible classes at an Evangelical grade school, learning to speak Arabic, and being heavily involved in refugee relief projects, plus getting a master’s degree). But consistent with that unselfish commitment, she not only found it hard to say no, but wanted to be sure she was obeying God's specific will in areas such as what to wear. And due to a very sensitive and overly zealous conscience and immaturity, then this went to extremes. Which neither meant she was asking if God was real or not, nor does a compulsion to serve God and sometimes mistaking conscience for the voice of God warrant dismissing her as someone "living in delusion." This is not some mindless chanting devoteee but a holy very committed servant of Christ who was mistaken to a good degree as regards scrupulosity in her commitment and needed wise counselling and better discernment. Would that such was the real problem today rather than the multitudes, the majority of Christians in the West, who think living "as ease in Zion" and not seeking to worship and serve the Lord, and share those gospel with those whose path they pass, and otherwise make a positive difference in the lives of others for time and for eternity constitutes Christian faith. I came short in all this somewhat.
