    souljah: q. about Hawking

    When I referred to being outcast, I meant in terms of the General Population. Like you said, the majority of people are not (happily) receptive of religous people OR their "message". So, I was very "outcast" socially speaking. An outsider all through high school, and for a little while...

    Why did you say you ARE accustomed to being ridiculed. Family? Friends? Strangers? ... I know from experience that family issues can be the worst.

    souljah: q. about Hawking

    Good Grief, I just saw your last post above sOljah... (heavy sigh) You've got it completely wrong, pal. You are (apparently) too accustomed to being "persecuted" for your beliefs or something. Listen. BEFORE I read your last post this is what I was going to say. I was going to...

    I am actually TRYING to understand your views sOljah. And actually it WOULD be nice shock if I could get some feedback from you that actually helped me to believe that YOU are believable.
