Kinda like saying "Merry Christmas" to someone opposed to it? Or who doesn't believe?
I haven't read the rest of your post yet, but I'll get to it as time permits. (long, long posts are low on my list of things to do)
"Kinda like saying "Merry Christmas" to someone opposed to it? Or who doesn't believe?"
Nope, kinda like "YOU are going to be a good Baptist Christian boy because I am, and I'm a minister, the head of this household, and you WILL do what I SAY!" I was supposed to have a conversion experience on command. I also learned to use a .45 automatic at the age of 12 because he wasn't going to beat my mother one more time. Like I said, not everyone is a GOOD example of the religion they claim to belong to.
as for list of priorities, I've got homework I should be doing, and finals next week, so I'll let you get to what you need to do. Have a good one. Merry Christmas, too.
