Not wanting to fight with you or anyone else here musiclady, but I have bolded some of your remarks above. The ones where you deny targeting me with your inappropriate insults about Trump supporters making Trump "their god". Anyone can read them for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions as to whether you were referring to me or not. I will repost your earlier quote in full:
As anyone can see - your remarks here on this thread absolutely are referring to me and @flowers , a person would have to be willfully blind not to see that. And yet, in your last post here - you are attempting to deny that. ???
Lastly, I am NOT in hiding. I don't post here very often anymore because this is largely an anti-Trump site and I am very much pro-Trump. This is not a very enjoyable site for me anymore - it used to be my internet home, a place I posted in every day and where I made many friends and enjoyed a nice camaraderie. Now....not so much. I'm not into being insulted if I can avoid it.
And don't worry about me - dear person who was once a friend of mine, but decided to abandon our friendship because of my political support for someone you don't like - I'm living the life I choose, a happy, content and peaceful life! I have so much thankfulness in my heart because I know that America will not be controlled by evil social engineers much longer. I won't waste my days defending my beliefs to people that claim to know what is in my heart and who I worship. Life is too short to spend time doing such things.
Not in hiding in the least! Enjoying days of serenity and astonishment at the glory of God - and that's God with a capital "G". Deny it if you want, it's all here in black and white for everyone to see and draw their own conclusions.
Last point, you said, "If I had a nickel for every time a Trump lover called me "sanctimonious," "judgmental," "arrogant," or the like, I'd be the richest woman on earth." - have you ever stopped to wonder why that is so? Why so many people have said those things about you? Maybe the next time you are on your knees, humbling yourself before God (the same God I worship), you might honestly and sincerely ask why people keep saying these things to you. I hope you ask this with a sincere heart - I know that if you do, you will come to a moment of self-enlightenment.
None of us are perfect by any means - believe me, I've had to have that same conversation with God, hopefully we all have. It is how we grow as Christians.
Shalom.
What I said specifically about you on this thread was that you used to be someone I could discuss issues with, with whom I had a great deal of agreement. Then came Trump and you changed. Everything said against Trump, you interpreted as an insult to you personally. I tried over and over to clarify, but you
wanted to be offended that I was including you and insulting you, when I wasn't. Ever.
That's clearly what you have done here in your use of the word "targeting."
What I am actually doing is expressing sorrow that an evil man like Donald Trump came between our internet relationship and changed you into someone who could not discuss things any more.
I have not "wondered" why people have called me "sanctimonious." It is a typical verbal barb coming from people who are stung by the fact that they have changed ethical positions to support a politician who does not believe what they believe. I refused to make excuses for Trump's misogyny and debasing of women, his absolutely amoral lifestyle, his betraying of his wives, his rampant, unrepentant adultery, and that bugs people who have decided to ignore that for some other cause.
I have said repeatedly that character matters, and those of you who no longer believe that, or who never believed that are mad at me and call me stupid names.
So be it.
That said, I miss being able to talk with you,
@alicewonders . I hope your devotion to Trump at some point becomes more realistic as to how deeply flawed he is, and that you realize that those of us opposing him are not arrogant, but rather expressing a humility that says that God's laws supercede our own political goals and heroes. It is God's law that determines the values that many of us hold, not political expedience.
I just pray that this country can survive the next four years, and that the God we BOTH worship will have mercy on a nation who has chosen such a faulty, arrogant unrepentant sinner to "lead" us.
