I am so saddened to read this. Religion's reach is atrocious. How sad for your daughter and for you... And she doesn't even know it. She is blind, but believs she sees.<br /><br />Life has twists that tangle us inside, huh? <br /><br />I liked this blog. Though, it is written from a place of pain. I am sorry for that.Unspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065870952905767595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705116.post-89562451999646358302010-05-11T17:27:07.030-05:002010-05-11T17:27:07.030-05:00hmmm...there are always two sides to every story, ...hmmm...there are always two sides to every story, but most of us only ever see one--or even care to see more than one. frightening; i can understand why horror stories hold no interest for youTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948978798395906663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705116.post-33756433989427827702010-05-11T13:04:14.900-05:002010-05-11T13:04:14.900-05:00Yes, I know.

I only mentioned it because you mentioned in this post that your daughter was concerned with your salvation. <br />And if sin and salvation are important to HER, then her concern should be for her mother. That was all I was trying to communicate.<br /><br />You know me well enough to understand my perspective, which is one that hopes that each individual find their own path to peace. Some people need a religion to do that, some do not. I applaud you for continuing to learn about and question your world, your culture and yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705116.post-61101555656075081032010-05-11T12:24:14.006-05:002010-05-11T12:24:14.006-05:00Let's not perpetuate the idea of sin, a device...Let's not perpetuate the idea of sin, a device those eho would use to control believers. There was no crime against me. I suffered for my attachment to my wishful thinking.

But the true atrocity is how you were misrepresented to your daughter. Because although you are admittedly a bit cantankerous these days, it is obvious to me, your friend, that you have become that way because of this crime against you. Maybe one day your daughter will figure it out. <br /><br />Instead of being concerned for your salvation, your daughter should pray that her mother can repent her own sins and wickedness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705116.post-41145148725301172722010-05-11T12:09:28.518-05:002010-05-11T12:09:28.518-05:00Brian the heaviness was relieved when I realized p...Brian the heaviness was relieved when I realized people are trapped in the spectacle by their own will to contribute to and benefit from it.
