So what. It's also just annalex being annalex . . . doing what annalex thinks/feels is the most righteous thing for annalex to do. So what.

So "worshipping Mary" is also just me being me ... doing what I think/feel is the most righteous thing to do. So what.

So complaining about needlessly confrontative and gratuitously offensive languages is also just me being me ... doing what I think/feel is the most righteous thing to do. So what.

I think considering the effects of one's words on others is part of using them well.

Mostly agree.

But your assumptions about such are not mine.

I had to come to terms long ago with the fact . . . as in

the fact

that God Himself designed and conditioned me to be--at least in part--a . . . drum roll . . .

goad.

I fussed and fumed and pleaded and begged for a different assignment and character etc. He was resolute and at some point fiercely stern.

That even including and often precisely for that . . . POINT . . . HE MADE ME FOR HIS PELASURE and He did NOT appreciate me complaining about how or what He had made me for His pleasure for.

Since then, I've increasingly tried to relax in the role and even have fun being me.

mileage may vary.
