For My Christian Friends

Published on November 12, 2007 By Moderateman In Blogging

I have been kind of rough on Christians recently and have probably upset or alienated more than a few of you, to those I apologize.

Sometimes I tend to go off the deep end of the pool and don't look to see if there is water in it, recently I have done this on more than one occasion, While I take pride in being a Jew I understand YOU take pride in being a Christian, this I deeply respect.

I would never intentionally demean any of you good people and recently I have been on my worse behavior, the reasons shall remain my own.

I ask forgiveness from those I cause even one moment of harm. If you can find it in you hearts to do so I thank you ahead of time, if you cannot I understand and it's ok. All of your feelings about this matter are valid and I will not argue them any further.

I leave you all in peace.

Elie

We all fly off the hilt sometimes, friend. I know I do. I'd never hold it against you.

But you're a good man to apologize the way you have here. Takes a big man to do it.

Now, if you'd just be Moderate once in a while . . .

Long ago Kingbee said {trying to get under my skin} I should change my name to ANGRY RADICALMAN. but I love the name moderateman and I am gonna keep it.. kisses to the king of bees. hahahahahahahah

'Saul, Saul why persecutest thou me.'

Dear Moderateman,

It is an honour to suffer for His name, but the true wounds are upon His body not ours.

I get that, But my point is I do not want to inflict wounds.. period.

Thank you, Elie.

try to keep the beast under control

Haha! My beast is lazy. He only goes crazy when I'm angry. Kind of like the Hulk...but I don't burst out of my clothes.

zoo? My beast issa killer. I mean that. but as I have aged so has the beast, now my beast is just words, but sometimes the cruelest thing of all are words that are aimed to hurt.

My beast issa killer. I mean that.

Ah, can't say that about mine...and I really never want to...but if the time comes where it must, then so be it.

Well. These pagans may forgive you, but I for one intend to maintain my vendetta until the end of time.

Just kidding. God bless.

Good to know that if push comes to shove YOU understand what you are capable of, so many deny the basic truth of survival.

Peace Elie. Knowing you as long as I had, I figured they were rants, and so read, but only commented to clarify thigns, not debate. As I told Think Aloud, faith is not something one can debate logically.

Nothing to forgive my friend. Your feelings are just as valid as those of any other.

Peace.

Never be ashamed of righteous anger, Elie.

Not Ashamed Sabrina, I just do not want to inflict any harm to anyone, and truth is I feel I might have, hence the apology for the harm, NOT FOR THE STATEMENTS.

More like backlash docG than a rant.
