[QUOTE="Zoii, post: 73912517, member: 391745"] Jon - words mean a lot - people cannot see your heart - they cannot see your body language or know the true person you are. So when a person writes, the choice of words take on their own meaning. The words need to be clear, for fear of misinterpretation. I would ask you and your fellow Christians to think on that when they refer to other people as 'Not Good' or and that their marriage is not not close - I would, for example, say that Ghandi was good and his marriage was especially close. Most people, when they hear a phrase 'your not good' interpret it to mean that their conduct is morally poor..... most people when they hear that their marriage is 'not close' interpret that to mean that their marriage is conflictual and unloving. When you counsel other Christians, I would ask that you bear this in mind - lest, as I did, your comments be perceived as quite adversarial and lacking any basis in fact. Another thing to consider, is that despite what each religion espouses in terms of securing their soul, the truth is that religious conviction is largely about where you live in the world. If you live in the UAE then you will be Moslem. If you live in India then you will be predominantly Hindu. If you live in the USA then you are likely to be christian..... nothing upsets people more, when people of one country look across the waters to another country that engages in a different religion, and tells them that their marriage is ungodly and immoral. It does nothing to enhance you're own faith and only serves to alienate. Hahaha - Jon I have to give you this - that was witty - albeit I am a student and don't have a job - that said, a famous Australian criminal-come-writer once said 'never let facts get in the way of a good story.'
