I worked in a book store once as sales assistant and the number #1 stolen books back then were those of fiction novels! I really hated the idea of plastic wrapped book but I really like punching price tags though! I believe in freedom too, Bobby!

No more exchanges between Zen Lill and Michelle (I will delete them). No more biting, I know both of your opinions and think you are both wonderful ladies :smile: I've never tried to write anything like that Michelle. A blog short story usually needs to be really short and character development has to be minimal. I'll come up with something though! Hahahaa!!!!

" @ Zen - You're kidding right? I happen to know homosexual Christians who don't feel the same as Evangelicals about same sex marriage. I know several Christians who have very opposing view points on abortion... I even know some Christians who have had abortions. Am I a Christian yes- am I devout- yeah buddy, but you have no clue if you think Christians all think the same on homosexuality and abortions... ask the Anglican church and the Episcopal Church how varied their believers feel about homosexuality and Pastors? Jesus was very adamant about not judging others... I take that very seriously it's a more serious business then going about condemning homosexuality or people who have had abortions and my view point is irrelevant- God's isn't. Anyway- no one ever converted anyone by being a judgmental jackass. Bobby- I wouldn't change a thing about your writing, I just like a good mysterious creepy thriller... was just wondering if you ever bend your pen that way? “hahaha, hey Michelle, I’ll bite also, are you thinking Zen thoughts perhaps? :smile:

I guess everyone is different and have their own reasons for everything. @Michelle: I'm not really good at writing that type of fiction. My favorite horror writers are H.P. Lovecraft (the greatest in my opinion) and Clive Barker. I'll write more than one story coming up! My sister is a psychologist and she really let me have her analysis of my personality disorders...hahaha! I still haven't recovered from her findings :smile: @Zen: Some of my family members are liberal Christians voting for Obama. I guess everyone is different and have their own reasons for everything.

Even the act of thinking or a person’s thought processes are so varied between two or more persons that it is silly to lump people together or stereotype." That's an observation on myself not pointed at you Bobby- it's why I stopped studying to be a psychologist and became an accountant who decided to be Fred Sanford only sexier... “The older I get the more I realize that people do not think a like not even on the smallest issues.

Do you know lots of Christians who do otherwise? I only speak from personal experience and have a large extended 'born again' Christian family, lucky Zen me : ) I envy the devotion at times, and others I wonder why they flatly refuse to at least consider others values before so strictly enforcing their code of conduct on all that surround them. They are way past conversion on me but that doesn't stop them if there's new blood in the room! I take it all fairly lightly though, I hope I did not offend you if you are Christian, just going by my own observations... Zen Lill hahaha, hey Michelle, I’ll bite also, are you thinking Zen thoughts perhaps? :smile:

I was raised a Christian and 95% of all the people I know are Christian and they all vary. Some believe in the bible word for word. Some believe what they want to from it. I wasn't stereotyping anyone! The point is that we should all study and understand everyone's ideas from all religions including atheistic; however, truth is truth and when something is true, it's true. :smile: When I said, "Most Christians", I should have said most Christians I've personally met. Most Christians I've met aren't hardcore fundamentalists believing the bible word for word. Do I know what you're thinking? No...I have no idea! Do you know what I'm thinking?
