“(Serious issues on your part on how to “vet” someone, Vette)”
You know I try to adhere to the posting rules here on FR. But I can’t abide people of “one faith (or religious persuasion)” trashing someone else’s religion (or faith or whatever you choose to call it). Until each of us dies, we don’t KNOW the truth about a supreme being (or for some, if there is even a supreme being at all). So all this religious hubris is really a disgrace for those who practice it. It seems to me that it is a misuse of this exceptional forum for people to use it to further their views of religion at the expense of others.
The corollary to this crap are those who think that the whole solution to our country’s problems is to get rid of California (or whatever state or city floats their hatred boat). Because, despite the leadership in these “places they despise,” there is a very large group of decent people who don’t like their political circumstances very much either and are trying their best to change things.
So the biblical admonition “let he who is without sin cast the first stone” applies to all these folks. I had to laugh when I read recently here a comment by someone from Texas who said “that Texas was fast becoming California, with guns!” So we had better start trying to make things better by stopping all the religious and geographical hypocrisy and start pulling on the same rope!!
