"<BR/><BR/>Christ came to save His people from the penalty and the power of our sins John. So, when it comes to our remaining sins we *repent* of them and go to Christ for *forgiveness* and *grace*. We don't indulge our evil passions or desires. That's what the unregenerate pagan does, just take a look at this lost world. The more I read your stuff the more clear it is that you were a wolf in sheep's clothing that never knew Christ. Thankfully God didn't allow you to hide among His sheep, your sin found you out.

I've been feeling guilty about all the little girls in my neighborhood I've molested, and that nice old couple I raped and killed (oh, and I ate their liver and kidneys as well), and I just feel so depressed when I go to church and put on my "Christian face" while those hypocrites - who probably claim 9 dependants on their W2 when they only have two(!) - preach that those things I do are "wrong" and "wicked."<BR/><BR/>I hated my guilt and I never knew what to do with it ... until now, that is. Your claim that,<BR/><BR/><I>"I am free from the guilt trip that Christians throw on other people."</I><BR/><BR/>set me free, like Bob Marley's "Songs of Freedom."<BR/><BR/>I assume as a rational, non-hypocrite like yourself, you'll also not "pull a guilt trip" on me, and I thank you for that.<BR/><BR/>John, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. Thanks for freeing me from the overbearing bondage of that evil sky-daddy God that the Christians worship.<BR/><BR/>Sleep well tonight, my friend, knowing that the next little 4 yr old I rape I'll be thinking of what you said and I'll have my first guilt-free night of sleep in years.<BR/><BR/>as always,<BR/><BR/>Bert Runberklerstein"</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1160540424778541892006-10-11T00:20:00.000-04:002006-10-11T00:20:00.000-04:00Good one, Steve!
