GloriaWilliams whacks ER (and feels better)
:::EDITS THROUGHOUT (BOLDED IN GLORIA'S REMARKS IMMEDIATELY BELOW) AND ADDITIONS AT BOTTOM:::
Is this true?

And who called you to that, Redneck? (The Spirit of Christ calls me to oppose all forms of Fundamentalism.) It sure wasn't God despite all your bellowing about your special personal relationship to Him. (Bellowing? I hide neither my faith nor my sins on this blog). You go around telling people to not judge when you do it everytime you comment anywhere. You go on about love but can't show it anyone who disagrees with you. (Sometimes this is true, but rarely, actually, in the overall scheme of things.) As always, I find myself descending to your level. What a talent that must be to drag someone down. Do you notice that Slim -- an openly gay man -- doesn't say the world should be filled with more Christians like you? Despite the fact you use your blog to defend his lifestyle every chance you get. (This is not what Slim said. And I have said virtually nothing about "lifestyle."). Why is that? (Ask Slim.) And yes, I consider his lifestyle wrong, but I don't force my view on him or ask him to change, believing that God and true Christians (!!!) like Tech will help him grow spiritually.
I'm sorry, Tech. I knew better than to comment on this thread as soon as I saw his name. You probably will want to delete this and please do if you think it best. I feel better for having said what I've said even though I know my words mean less than spit to him. (Bitter and untrue).
I won't read this thread again, Tech. I think I'd better stay away from the blog for a time. This is certainly not good for my peace of mind or my walk with God.

WTH? I think Gloria has embarrassed herself.
Here's the post, from TECH, that started it.
It was a very interesting, and civil, thread, right up until Gloria freaked out and jumped ugly on me.
And in case Gloria or TECH deletes her comment, or TECH disables the post, the whole thing is in the first comment.
EDIT: AT TECH'S REQUEST, I'VE DELETED HIS ORIGINAL POST FROM THE COMMENTS. THE COMMENTS ON HIS POST ARE NOW THE FIFTH COMMENT TO THIS POST -- AND IF IT'S ALL VERY CONFUSING, CHALK IT UP TO (another edit at TECH's request) TECH WANTING TO KEEP TOTAL CONTROL OF HIS WORDS.
Sheesh.

I want to apologize to Tech and to the other readers of this blog. I let my personal dislike for Redneck push me into being rude to him. Unfortunately I did it in front of all of you. A moment ago, I got off the phone with Tech who assures me that Redneck has many good qualities. Perhaps so. I can't see them, but it's not my place to judge him, either. I apologize to him for attacking him and hope that both of us will continue to grow in the Lord's wisdom.

Accepted.
Me, too.
I have no personal dislike of you Gloria, BTW. And aside from one personal and mean encounter with you two years ago, I have no idea why you would personally dislike me. But hey, we each have our burdens.
Peace.
