Actually, no not at all TBH you're one of the people here who made me ask, why do I post what I do? I discovered something, the cross isn't some ornament, it really does mean something. Not Gods fault I had the bad family I did nor had to go through the poor treatment I did. You can read the bible and all God does is show mercy, it's the people who keep causing problems and breaking his laws while he hands them everything. Fact that God didn't destroy the world after the elites of his day had his Son crucified should tell anyone just how much he does care. Christs Mom could have cried out anytime and I'm sure Christ would have done something, if Mary could make him turn water into wine before it was time for his ministry I'm sure he would have listened to Her then. It's another gripe I have of Christianity, especially here, people do not appreciate what Mary nor what women sacrifice to make His church work. That and God never forgets, in the end He always has and always will have the last word. He will not be mocked. The short time I've seen you post really did impress me, you are an asset to the Orthodox church. Seeing what I have from the church over there gave me hope. The church is alive, my hope is as things in the USA and the West in general get worse the church steps up and fixes things, again. If that happens, I hope it sticks this time, the church made the world a much better place and still does. See you around, God bless and take care. Edited March 20, 2022 by poptart 2

You know in the other thread where you mentioned that I had kind of made you think why do you post here etc. I never meant for you to consider leaving, I am sorry if I made you feel that you should. I suppose I just wanted you to think, because it seems to me that you are searching, and that usually comes through God's prompting. I would hate to think that I have influenced you in a negative way.
