“If I were you, I would be taking a hard, long look at the life you raised in and that you live now.”

Well, let’s see, I was raised by hypocritical Southern Baptist alcoholics. What’s your excuse?

Old Mountain Man sent me a Private Freep Mail. I wanted to share it:

What’s the matter? Not enough guts to respond to my true comment? As I suspected, another lying mainstreamer? A drunk?

Dear Old Mountain Man,

I am sorry you had troubles in your upbringing. I did too. My mother was mentally ill, and she killed herself. But, that has no bearing on this discussion. Neither does yours in the fashion that you raised it. It does explain your hatred of certain faiths or institutions, but it does not justify them. What you have done is simply channeled your childhood anger into a cult, and away from God because you associate anyone who is a Christian with your alcoholic parents.

I know a lot of ex-drug addicts and ex-alcoholics. I also know many ex-cultists.

If you wish to private Freepmail me again (but not in that previous manner) I will talk to you. I can understand you have some serious pain. So did I, and do. The difference is, I have Christ in my life. He is my best friend. He talks to me. Do you have Him?

Take care Old Mountain Man.
