As I was the one who told you that you "crossed the line" (Um, I don't think those were my words as we both know I was stating my opinion with a very sensetive grouping of words to avoid you being offended) and this conversation is still going on -- I thought it would have died out by now -- then let me explain. Here were your words "You have a basis of faith, i hear in your post.. Andrew FIND GOD, FIND JESUS, i BEG of YOU! Jesus is one true and only hope in EVERLASTING LIFE WITHOUT PAIN! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" All I told you was telling someone that finding Jesus would bring them relief, well, basically I won't put it as nicely the first time. It's bullshit and it's pushy! And what's more, it was told to you DAYS after you said it when you asked for input on your posts. It's not like you said "spirituality can help you deal with your pain" and I came at you with both barrels. Again, I did what you went farther with. I opened it, read it and closed it. But when you asked for input on your posts and get them, you couldn't take it. That's fine. That's understandable. Most people don't like to hear they offended people, even in a polite manner. But generally those people don't ask for input and have a problem with it when they get it a half week later. I'm sorry. It is bullshit and pushy. And I told you that in a much more diplomatic way and even basically apologized for saying it and explaining that I don't believe in Jesus as God. You came back at me with an incredulous tone asking what the hell kind of religion doesn't believe in Jesus. So I told you.
So I offer my apology. Not everyone is Christian.
