JoeJohn—you always grace my comment section with such kindness, I so look forward to what you have to say. Thanks for that kind compliment.

I can understand the “shock reply” approach and I would say my husband somewhat employs that as he has very little tolerance and in a way is in a different place to me—I’ve even asked him to please not say anything in the past. I appreciate his refusing to lie, BUT religious people can be extremely sensitive.

Once we dive into a conversation and are logical and analytical—it doesn’t mix well at all with those willing to fudge with the “it doesn’t have to make sense to me”—and brings us all back to: so what’s even the point?

If we are approaching from such different points of view—why create this discussion and for what purpose??

I wish those who were religious understood that their approach and lifestyle is so visible—anyone who wants to dive into sharing the commonality of that —will; soooo if those of us who do avoid it and give clear signals that we don’t partake, why approach me??

I actually know why they do—but I’m irritated still. Lol

Anyhow—let me close this. I’m thankful for all of you for your loving heart—

Respecting our differences should be at the forefront and it’s lacking greatly these days….in many ways!

Much love to you…thanks for engaging!💙
