As far as your lesson on honesty, I'm always honest. My world veiw and yours are light years apart. The "truth" in your world is humorous (albeit slightly tragic) to someone like me, and I will never see your light. As a matter of fact, I'm going to instruct a family member to shoot me if my truth ever even remotely resembles yours.
You're right I'm not nice, although I try to be a good person (difference). I'm quite convinced you're a good person as well, who may think that she's a nice person. However you're a colossal pain in my ass, so what's the difference? Your supposed niceness is as aggravating and upsetting to some as the un-niceness you ascribe to me. So I guess we're even.
As usual we're not getting anywhere here, but please feel free to chat any time as I find you fascinating. Kind of like studying an alien species.
All that said, if you need someone to talk to about your son, you can email this lady. She had a son in the first Gulf War and understands what you're going through. She's talked to others on this forum by email and phone.
God bless.
Interesting. The truth that I seek, and have been seeking for 46 years of walking with the Lord, is God's truth, through studying Scripture and through prayer.
I don't claim to have found it all, but if you find me 'alien' in my search for God's truth, I do feel sorry for you. And as for political truth......I base my view on it's relationship to Scriptural truth. We may disagree on points, but if you find me 'alien' there, then you are not a Conservative.
Now I'll leave you alone, and pray that your family doesn't actually shoot you if you finally grow beyond your cynicism and anger. You seem to have the potential to become a decent human being, and might do the world some good someday.
