There you go again Ivan! I don't think I suffer from bitterness. Cynicism is what I have, but I don't suffer from it - I enjoy it! 
You differentiate between Christians and Catholics. Hmm. The bee is in your bonnet, not mine. My hands were not assaulted by a nun! 
Sorry to rain on your parade. To(o) many hypocrites growing up? 
Pass. And as for rye wit, well you malign me. I am teetotal! Insults? Not really. I hold no malice towards you. If I did you would find out what insults really are. How about 'lackwit bumpkin' to be getting on with? [/quote]
I got the impression from your many post on the subject that there may have been some bad blood between you and the Christian set. I am wrong again! Darn.
I hold no bitterness to Catholic's or Christian's. Even before I became a born again believer I had never to my recollection any bad experiences with either to write home about. In fact I had only good experiences with regards to believers...well...nothing really serious that I couldn't get over. And when ever I had anything vaguely resembling a bad experience it was more to do with the person and less to do with their faith.
So I guess I'm not
too perfect after all...but it seems I've got you to be my spelling and grammar check.
You're no 'lack wit bumpkin', not by a long shot. Maybe a hardheaded cantankerous, limey, curmudgeon. No 'lack wit'.
I didn't think you held any malice toward me. And I certainly don't toward you.
By the way
toward in your paragraph doesn't need that there
's'.
Ivan
