I just finished a book that had a quote:

People will believe what they want to believe is true, and that which they fear may be true'

Izzy, I shudder to challenge your thoughts on this one, but, since you risked reading and posting on the thread, I spose I will too.

I want to let you know that, saying Praise the Lord after everything is NOT being Christian...it's being RADICALLY OBNOXIOUS!  You might want to ask your sister and brother in law something for me...did JESUS go around saying "Praise the Lord" constantly?  Tell them I think they have a spiritual TIC and need deliverance from it!

Secondly, no wonder you chose agnosticism, if those two are the taste of Christianity that you've gotten! Yipes!  Christians who feel forgiven and loved, generally do not have to keep letting you know about it.  I have met some people who constantly thought they had to repent over every little thing...those people were diagnosed BPD's!  There is one other type of person who repents a lot and lives their lives thinking they will go to hell if they don't...some very Melancholy personalities...that does NOT make them necessarily Christian or close to the Lord.

Just some thoughts

I have a best friend, who is NOT a Christian and that person has taught me how to love . So, that is "different".My path now is embracing love for myself, and then being able to give love.
  For me, the person who taught me about love , and demonstrated it to me,was not a Christian. So, I don't know. I am just putting it out there(lol)                Ami

Gosh Iz,

I hear ya about finding out things about ourselves that we didnt' know.  Isn't it so hard to really SEE ourselves as others do?  Dr Phil has that part LICKED right off the batt, since he puts cameras into people's homes.  You can't deny what you SEE IN LIVING COLOR, ya know?  Smart man, Phil.

Hugs,
Laura

We had an employee who would always say when asked how ya doing?  He would say EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT DESERVE IT I AM BLESSED.  Every time-sorry but if you always respond the same way it becomes cliche-praise God!
