I have faith too. I also was rubbed the wrong way when my sister says she is a child of god. We have the same parents, and our mother is going through very tough times in her old age. She was so devoted to us when we were young, she is now suffering dementia, and it really felt like it was a snub to our mother.

As I replied elsewhere, the whole "I am a servant to my family" thing also just didn't sit right with me. This is 2015, not 1520. Anyway, after you are done throwing up in my mouth, I will shit it right back out into yours. This level discourse is so enlightening. What else you got?
