WHOA Nancy, you almost made me pass out when I read the first few
sentences of your e-mail. I thought you were serious. I agree, some
christians have a way of making doubters feel guilty and confused. I walked
around frenzied because I believed what they said.
Thanks for the encouragement and I am relieved you were just mimicing
outrageous statements made by christians.
