Wonderful post, MHGinTN! (I was just thinking how very far from the main topic this sidebar has gotten. I hope PH doesn't mind too much.)
Clearly the "despising" of God and His Grace seems to be achieving a critical mass in "fashionable" (e.g., "politically correct") modern society. Pretty soon, maybe we'll be able to ask Dr. Phil's question of the despisers: "So, how's that working out for you?"
LOLOL! Thank you ever so much for writing, MHGinTN!
No problem.
