[QUOTE="rambot, post: 69562060, member: 145797"] Of course. It goes against your charicature. Here is a real life example. My kitchen caught on fire yesterday. No joke. I am no longer living in my home. Our kitchen is totally destroyed and smoke damage has permiated our main floor and water has ruined most of the main floor and all of the basement floor. Happily the fire department managed to save my new puppy. It looks like they will have to go straight down to the studs. It sucks pretty bad. WE won't be back in our home for likely 6 months. When I put this up on facebook. I got about 90 replies from people. Every person from my church who replied asked how they could help. This morning my pastor called and wanted to chat and see how we were doing. When I got to the church, all the staff there (about 9) came gave me a hug and we're worried. When they prayed over me, it was for strength, perseverence, the ability to reframe it as an adventure for my little ones, that he would provide wisdom to those helping me, and gratitude for the effectiveness of my insurer thus far. This is the kind of Christians I have been surrounded by for my entire life. This is my experience. I am not alone with this experience but I won't argue that what you say never gets utterred. There are callous people who have no idea how to comfort others. But there are secular people who do the too. "There, there. There, there. Let's go get wasted". Please. That is not providing comfort. Christians and nonchristians share the same personality traits and interpersonal skills. [/QUOTE]
