================================================ Subject: Re: RELIGIOUS TALK AND ALL!!!!! From: "NC" To: Date: Thu 10 May 2001 18:59:57 -0700 ================================================ I am saying ur a hypocrit by going around saying that Christians try to put thier beliefs on everyone, but yet u r doing the same thing. U r trying to put what u believe in on everyone. But when christians do itu say it is wrong. but when u do it, it is okay. But I didn't mean to be all rude. I usually am not like that. I am just having a tough time right now with my family and all. My best friend had just passed away, so I am just trying to put it all on someone. So, sorry for my out burst I am just going through a really tough time right now. --- Tara wrote: > Actually, what I specifically said is "it just seems > to me that there's a > fairly high percentage of people who call themselves > Christian, but then > don't behave in the manner the Bible says they > should."
