And to be fair, many Christians are mean. Heck, I am sometimes, though I try to apologize if I see it. But maybe you’re not my intended audience. That’s ok too. I can block you if it would benefit you to not see me anymore.

I wouldn’t respond, as I typically go to a profile before I block. But your profile seems like you’re a pretty nice person, and one who listens to the pain of others well. So it just seemed out of character for you to lash out at a stranger. So I didn’t.

I don’t mind you commenting. Your thoughts have so much pain behind them, and I wanted to be present to that.

You just said you didn’t want your time wasted, and that somehow I was the one wasting it. So I felt bad.

This I-hate-reading-every-day-of-homeschooling kid talked about history, and the books he's reading right now, and the books that impacted him most as a kid. Like, what is happening right now? (He always loved history. That was just a fun part of the conversations.)

This quote was from later on in Ephesians. Paul was really on a roll there.
