In anticipation of attacks o this study, let me say that this page is not presented as a self-righteous condemnation as if I (or any who cite this study) are without sin, for we are all sinners, having misused everything from our brain to our feet, and thus in this way and to some degree we and I have usually committed many or most things that we condemn others for, and our lesser sins that we may excuse are offensive to God and not just those that we rightly deplore.. However, the difference here is that of having repented from...

It made me very uncomfortable as a young student which he seemed to enjoy. I remember it to this day. I am 62 years old. In my opinion this man was truly evil.”...
