Way to really nail the rest of us Salty.
Regular Sodom and Gommorah in my house, my poor kids eh? Has it ever occurred to you that you pass judgement on others almost inconsequentially in your normal manner of speech (at least as far as what I've seen on these boards)? I don't think you even notice it, it seems to be a part of who you are. Where do you figure a behavior like that would come from? Is this the sort of speech your children see as an example of how to walk in the presence christ? Do they imagine that we're all somehow drugged up, fucking men in the ass, drunk, on the path to suicide, needles in our arms......as a result of the lack of christian dogma in our lives? Doesn't sound very very balanced, sounds like coercion (you don't have to believe, but this will happen if you don't).
