"Nutcase" was cinFla's word originally, not mine.

You are way too emotionally-invested in this discussion. Your word choice is peculiar and inflammatory, i.e. "you're...celebrating her suicide attempts;" "sluts;" "preyed upon by pro athletes."

You seem to have overly-identified with this unfortunate young woman. You should get some professional help before you do something rash.

But once you stoop to impuning my faith, my "treatment of Christ," you've crossed the line between courteous discourse and arrogant, insufferable ignorance.

And there you'll remain.

Don't post to me again.

Well, some folks might say that Christ was "way too emotionally-invested" and "overly-identified with...unfortunate" folks. I mean, becoming a man when you're the eternal Son of God is like...well, C.S. Lewis says it's like a man becoming a frog to save all the frogs of the world. And then for Christ to do even a more extreme thing and to die the way he did {see the movie, THE PASSION} prompted folks to wonder if He might be in need of special rabbinic help lest he do something rash.

I have no messiah complex. But all of us in Christ have Him in us: "It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me." (Phil 2:20)

So flame away and call me zealot. 'Tis fine. Hasta, Doc...I'll try to wipe the dust off my feet & move on to other posting grounds.
