That may be more true, than we think! All information gets chewed up and spit back out in all kinds of directions! And many of these ‘directions,’ have an ulterior motive for skewing information up, and others behave as if...it is just plain fun for them... to see people confused or squirming! We really are in a precarious place at this time!

We know this to be true - there is no anti - vax Talmudic direction or law.

This music experience has been most revealing with my 79 years of life experiences behind me. As much as I may like the artist, some of the songs bring up real life tragedies that was read about or experienced...this surely takes any pleasure out of the music for me! I guess I was exposed to much more than the average person experienced.

How many of you have been told you are going to hell?

Freedompath comments on Apr 13, 2019:

I had (very) close relatives that told me I was going to hell, before I ever became an agnostic...when I questioned the real Jesus and other ideas. Actually, I was always questioning...which lost me friends and family. Once (but not the only time she told that I was going to hell.) my oldest granddaughter and her self-appointed preacher husband attempted to verbally attack me (and save my soul at the same time) over a story that I told my g-granddaughter! That...Jesus if he existed, inspired people, and did not perform miracles like reported in the Bible! It was a terrible sight and I hope one day the memory of what they put me through, comes clear (as it should) about how their actions were so hurtful.

I sure feel for you!! That is a very bad choice in my opinion. I have college age grandchildren and I know how determined some of them can be. As a parent, I would insist that she start someplace else, even other Christian Colleges are not as right winged as this one. After a year or two, if she still insist on Oral Roberts, then permit her to go there. She would need to visit the other schools, but it would be worth it! After all if you are paying...then you should have some say (don’t just take over).

Trump has turned this country over to the ‘crazies!’ Why are the ‘non-religious right,’ people of this Country not allowed to get some of our needs met and some of our ideas used for the betterment of our society? Why? The ‘left’ never discarded the ‘religious right,’ when we had a more liberal president!

I was 15 months older, but she was a crying needy child and at an early age would cuss frequently...and I wanted to be better than that, as I already had learned at an early age that our reputation was not that great! So I kept at a distance, emotionally and even physically. I somehow avoided her...where I learned that I can not understand. I did try and help her in later years, by then so much damage had been done. But, it still hurts so deeply!
