I'm glad to here that, and not surprised. What does surprise me is that there could be "bad Churches" that were so bad that someone like Invincibly Ignorant could be raised Catholic and never have heard of the Bible. But, assuming this is true, it doesn't mean that this is anything but the exception.
I'm glad you've enjoyed the Orthodox readings. Its funny, but you were one of the first Freepers that I corresponded with when I joined the religious threads a few weeks ago. At the time, you said all you knew about the Orthodox is that we crossed ourselves the wrong way! I've learned a lot over the past few weeks as well, and may need to take a break for awhile to digest at some point.
God bless you! I'll keep you posted on my progress on my book, and will include you and your children (or is it just child?) in my prayers.
thank you.
