Patty, I can see how hard that must have been...There is no reason to apologize for what you said...they are your views and beliefs and you are not intending to attack us for our beliefs...

I would have to admit that had I had the last experience you did...I don't know what I would think about it all...

I think this is a good place to post as it deals with how those "Christian" experiences have effected you...I believe that is why this forum was set up...so we could talk about that very thing...

Anyway on this Father's Day ... know that your dad wasn't perfect and that he loved you in the way he could...
