I don't blame you there, Blue. I'm sorry about your difficulties with this woman's behavior. I wonder how she looks at herself in the mirror each morning and sees the image of God.

Although I am a church-going Catholic, I believe that more kinds of discrimination and bigotry have been committed under the banner of Jesus Christ than in any other form in human history. Everyone is guilty of it to some degree, but religious people should be better than that......and too often, we're not.

As far as I know, mentally ill people, black people, brown people, gay people etc. bleed the same color, reproduce in the same fashion, and are made the same way as everyone else. Your pastor should ask herself WWJD---Who Would Jesus Discriminate (against) ?
