Wow, Sandi -what did you do? LOL! I see that you are "getting it" over
your take on it but some other self-professed Christians have said there
isn't much they wouldn't do with that amount of money to consider and
their
Christianity isn't being called into question. In fact, I could've missed
a whole bunch of posts as I am reading through this as my newsreader puts
them out but I don't actually think your Christianity is being called into
question. I'm not exactly certain what you did to get the responses you
are getting but it certainly isn't "just you" who thinks it is okay to act
a part that you don't necessarily believe in.

Yikes - reckon I'm missing some posts, too. Am I being taken to the
woodshed and don't even know it? :)

I haven't seen my Christianity called into question, but I do see a lot of
calling the Christianity of strangers into question, and that bothers me. I
don't claim to know anybody's heart, or their reasons for doing things, so
unless the things they are doing are blatantly cruel and hurtful to others,
I'll just leave the judging up to someone who does know.
