I know you are an atheist, and you have every right to be. But I don't understand the bitterness. I'm sure 99.9999% of T-Netters have never met you; but I have. I know you. I don't remember you being that way about people who held different beliefs.

If a Christian did something to you to cause such bitterness to well up in you, just remember that it's no more right or fair to judge Christians by the acts of one or a few than it is to judge or stereotype any other group. I'm sorry they hurt or offended you. And I suspect that if you were somewhere injured or otherwise vulnerable and needed help, generally you'd rather see a Christian coming down the road than some other folks around this world who have lower moral or behavioral standards or who are likely to treat you badly because of you don't adhere to their beliefs.

If you ever need help or want to talk to a Christian who will show you kindness, respect and patience when discussing matters of faith (or anything else), then you name the date and time and I'll meet you at the front door of that place where we used to play on College Ave. Let's talk. But please remember respect goes both ways. You know me, you spent a good bit of time with me back in the day; do you remember me being a mean person? I don't think so. I didn't have the courage to proclaim or the strength/maturity to live my faith back then. I wish I had. I was an immature, self-indulgent person then. I'm sorry for that. I wish I could go back and change a lot of my foolishness.

And btw, I read where Alex and Geddy were jamming again recently, and Alex was quoted as saying after ten years off they sounded like a garage cover band. Alex specifically mentioned "Free Will" as just being too danged hard. I concur.
