I started reading this article and then suddenly realized it was Huffington Post, a secular, uber liberal brainwashing online rag that has zero credibility with anyone spiritual practicing orthodox (small O) Christianity in the slightest. These values are those of the abortionists, the LGBT elites, the socialists, the pansexualist moderns.
Want to have REAL signs you're a genuine person? Read the Beatitudes and Ten Commandments, look at how you're progressing. Or compare yourself to the saints. It's humbling. Pray and ask God's help to reach the goal. Reading the Huffington Post is about as productive for the Christian as watching the Kardashians.
