In A World Without Light
Samantha, Thank you for your most eloquent rebuttal. :) Very nicely said! I have lived my whole life as a Christian and, I suppose, find it difficult to imagine not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ or depending on him to guide me. I, too, received good upbringing and was taught respect for all people. So, I do agree with you there. I think, when someone believes in God and what the Bible teaches us, they have a set of rules to live by, even when they were not afforded good parents. Of course, I grew up in the Bible Belt of South Carolina where parents were parents in the 50s and 60s. However, I received very valuable training within the walls of our church as well...these lessons have gone with me throughout my 61 years. I agree that we each have the right to our own opinion and I honor that. But I will pray, too, that you will come to know the Lord "someday" and be afforded you place in Heaven. Thank you, Samantha, for sharing your thoughts with me.
