bravo. i surely will. but you have never yet offended me. and honestly i think most of the people who do are assuming the reasons behind what i do as much as what i do....what i mean is this:
a lot of christian theology is based on history that is little-known in this day and age. it actually makes a great deal of sense, but modern people assume that christians have crappy reasons for what they do/believe and/or that they already know the reasons christians do/believe certain things and/or that there isn't any good reason. and they think this for good reasons because there are a lot of uneducated christians who don't know the answers either. going to seminary taught me a lot of those reasons. so the people who say hurtful things are usually reacting from assumptions/misinformation they have been given.
