Re: "anti-Xmas" thread followup

Actually, I should say beaten. I guess you become bigoted towards abusers
after the years. It is hard to turn the anger off. When you have seen the
abuser destroy loved one's lives and feel they have almost destroyed yours
it is hard to break free. It will come but it's hard. Then when you turn
to "good Christians" and they are no better .. you begin to think it is a
pattern of "Christianity".
