Question to Former Christians

I may have once expected them to be flawless... but it sure wasn't long if that was indeed ever the case. Smile

I actually would prefer them to be phony... then that would mean that their non-phony selves would be perhaps the opposite of their current phony selves. Now that I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony...

I lost confidence in Christianity and its gods as a result of a number of things. My parents likely were not one of them... i hate them primarily for other reasons.

You are still a christian because the indoctrination by your abusive father, (against the feeble protests of your transexual mother), fell on to the fertile ground of the uneducated. I assume you were home schooled until the age of six when your education was considered enough to become a full member of the christian church.
:S Now now... you're going to scare off whatever maternal instincts I posses! : o

Quote:Or am I making some crass unfounded and offensive assumptions?

Now where would I have got that idea?

Because it's basically the OP written again elsewhere from a different viewpoint? Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
