But for example, looking at the first 3 letters: for letter A.... I would leave out the first 2 little paragraphs and just keep the third. Letters B and C are fine.
In principle, that's the approach I would take personally if I were to do a Christian one, so that's my objective advice.
I don't see why you would. The two paragraphs you mention from A seem to be stating things of a factual nature. If facts disturb you . . . I don't know what to tell you, then.
It's not that facts disturb me. It's the impression it might give to a kid, as I said in my first post.
It would be the equivalent of me writing "Allie the Alligator has friends who don't pray and don't care to build a relationship with God because they do not have faith. But Allie does!"
I personally would not do that, so there's no reason why I should have a double standard.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
