I do want to apologize for one thing.

When I wrote that post with all the smileyes I was acting under the
assumption that you would be comfortable with some friendly poking and
jesting about the subject.  Obviosly I was mistaken and you take this
subject far more personally and seriosly then I was lead to believe by your
humor.   I apologize for hitting you so hard with the way that I presented
myself.

I cant help speak about God. It is something that God has created me to do
and something I do not know how not to do. I have lost other friends in the
past because of this and though it saddens me, this is how God has designed
me and is not something that I can change on my own.

For some understanding. If you cannot stand God, as seems to be what you are
expression by this, then you would not be able to become my friend anyway.
To welcome me is to welcome God and to reject me is to reject God. [Mat.
18:3,5]   Because of my relationship with Christ he and I are eternally
related. He resides within me as the Holy Spirit where ever I go and is
involved in some way or another in nearly everything I say and do.

This is why I am saddened but understand why you cannot be a friend.  If you
cannot stand God then you cannot stand me. I and God are so closely related
now that to get to know me is to get to know a little about God and you seem
to be very strongly opposed to that.

I pray some day that this will change.

I decided no to read further than the first 2 lines.

Respect is mutual.  I offered a real friendly hand-shake, you answered • back
with god-talk, exactly what you know offends me.  That's real nice of you.
It just shows your level of respect for others' choice not to hear your • crap.

All I wanted was to make a friend here.  You said no.  I accept that. • After
this post from you, I don't want to hear from you anyway, so it's a good
thing for both of us since you can't respect my integrity as I asked and I
can't withstand your desperate need to talk about god.
