Lucy #027: And next, as far as your veiled accusation that I am ―blaming God‖ goes, I<br />

don't blame God for either my or your or anyone else‘s indiscretions, Lucy. Rather, I blame your<br />

version of God (a God who thankfully probably does not exist at all, but more on this a bit later) – I<br />

blame Him for ruthlessly lowering the boom without mercy on us (unless we grovel enough in<br />

―repentance‖) after we commit those sins ... Whether in Heaven or on Earth, my Friend, all<br />

manifestations of evil tyranny &/or blatant injustice are to be courageously opposed – never<br />

feebly tolerated; much less openly supported!<br />

Lucy #028: In closing, then, while you might claim that you ―read the Bible as Truth‖,<br />

your actions & your opinions show quite clearly that have not courageously tested those beliefs –<br />

and most certainly that you have never actually walked The Way of Jesus Christ. For it is a<br />

simple Truth (one that becomes flagrantly clear to anyone who has had the humility & the courage to<br />

actually walk that Great Talk) that only The Way of Christ bears truly Good Fruit, and that only<br />

The Way of Christ is the true Will of God ...<br />

The Bible is no mere ―point of view‖ for me, Lucy, nor is it a mere intellectual<br />

philosophy or emotion-based theology. I actually follow its teachings – having radically lived its<br />

Truths for over a decade of my life now, and I have purposefully done so in dozens of extremely<br />

―dangerous‖ situations. As such, the peaceful Way of Jesus Christ (and the unconditional LOVE<br />

of his heavenly Father) is NO MERE THEORY for me, my Friend ... It is real – and it works –<br />

and therefore, for me at least, it is TRUTH!!!<br />

Amen … Let it be so for you & yours as well!<br />
