Well said.
Sometimes, us Christians can be the biggest judge of all, when in fact, it is not up to us to Judge.
I consider myself a strong Christian and yes, I have called people the B word and sometimes worse. We are saved by Grace. We all fall short.
Every bitch I have ever had has been loyal, obedient, a faithful companion, loving mother, avid hunter, great listener, never gets upset when I notice another bitch, thinks I am just the funny person on the earth and in short adores me.
And is always extremely happy to see me whenever I walk through the door.
But, would you call them names because their religion and spiritual beliefs are different than yours?
Exactly!!!! Could not have said it better!
“Mine often includes cussing in a way that would make a sailor blush.
But I don’t smoke, drink, or chew, or go with girls that do...”
I MUST be going to hell. I cuss like a sailor (but never taking the Lord’s name), I smoke cigars, I chew leaf tobacco, I drink Irish Whiskey, and my sainted grandmother did all of the above as well.
My grandmother, however, never smoked cigars, but filterless Pall Mall’s until the doc FINALLY convinced her to quick when she was 69. She did.
That’s when her famous health started to tank. She lived until she was 93, but stopped playing two hours of tennis a day about three months after she quit.
Your post made my laugh, thanks for that.
Except he used it as a noun.
Cranking out 8 kids will have a negative impact on your bladder control. But, she certainly is a beautiful woman.
Good question.
Would you qestion her Christianity if it were someone whom you agreed was a B****?
Yes, as Christians, she and I should guard our words, but it's my greatest struggle to overcome. You have no IDEA how many times I hit backspace on these posts, and how many times I should have but didn't.
We are Christians because of what we believe and who we put our trust in, not because of who we are.
But, with that said, at least she didn't call Marie a slut :-)
Sadly, she was. I grew up in the Palm Springs country club set and have known a lot of celebrities, and I never met anyone who acted like her.
And, yes, I do pray for her and her salvation still after all these years.
Maybe she called her a name because Marie, in fact, did something bitchy to her. And at the the time, they were of the same religion!
I’m not surprised. It makes sense actually. I’m glad if she is getting it under control.
If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie wipe the seaty. xoxo
I simply knew enough about her history too know she is Bipolar. A condition she got from genetics from her Mom whom {Marie said} she said also had it. Even with medications as I understand there can still be some behavioral symptoms including laughing hysterically or mood swings. I know that much byt knowing persons who are diagnosed with it. I don’t question her Christianity at all. I have a lot of respect for someone who has endured what she has in life and been able too keep her faith.
Reganaut is a religious bigot, plain and simple, a search of posting history will justly prove that, along with the rest of that crew she runs with.
No, it’s just that your hate against anyone Mormon gets your dander up whenever the religion is even mentioned. Talk about posting history, we all know how you feel about the Mormon faith. How about give it a rest instead of letting it eat you alive.

Fist, I don’t hate MORMONS. I DO hate the Mormon Religion. Big Difference there. I still have many Mormon friends.
And, yeah I’m not shy about Mormonism or my experience in it. It was a big deal for some that she was in our ward. It wasn’t for me. I have known other celebrities who didn’t behave or expect special treatment - she did.
Second, it isn’t eating me alive. It is because I love the Mormon people that I spend so much time praying for them and telling them the truth about their destructive cult. It is the cult not the people I have issues with.
LOL, no I did not.
I consider myself a strong Christian and yes, I have called people the B word and sometimes worse. We are saved by Grace. We all fall short.

BINGO! When I was Mormon, and in typical Mormon fashion, I prided myself on ‘keeping the commandments’ and not being a sinner. I was taught (and believed) as a Mormon that I could be (and needed to be) morally perfect to the point that I (like all Mormons) downplayed what sin was/is to just ‘missing the mark’ rather than offending God. I believed and was taught that God loved me because I ‘kept the commandments’. Only after I left, did I see how many commandments I was breaking and not seeing it.
As a Christian, I know I fall short and constantly have to ask Christ to forgive me and change me. I am humbly grateful that He loved me even when I was a sinner and saved me by His grace.
LOL.
Not unusual for some middle-aged ladies, and a difficult condition to correct. The exercises and medication don’t work for everyone. Surgery isn’t always successful either.
