Ha, the ass doth speaketh! Let's get a couple things cleared up first. My brother and I had wonderful, caring and loving parents. Strict, but loving. I still remember some of their simple wisdom. "Little children little problems. Big children, bigger problems." "Having children doesn't make you love them. Caring for children causes you to love them." Many, many other sayings and a simple philosophy. I've been happily, actually blissfully, married for 56 years. We raised two magnificent children who never gave us trouble, we were and remain a very close family. Both children, never divorced, have loving marriages and live good lives. One just celebrated their 25th. They, because of their parents and the way they were raised, also raised their own children with traditional morals, values and spirituality - those "things that work."

Your so called psychological "markers"
made me smile. "I was a crisis counselor" you tout! Psychology, the new age religion along with psychological social workers who eased out providing trained clergy to crisis situations. We were handling crisis situations long before Freud. Psychology, that science, that has been found to tell couples having marital troubles to go out and have an affair. Based on my own experience and the sinful markers I discover in your Progressive philosophy, it's obvious you've had several affairs. Now tell me, how dumb is that?

Anyone notice that clergy are no longer called into situations that require a so called "grief counselor?" Don't know why this is since so many denominations now require heaps of psychology training in their seminaries. Evidently secular society doesn't want the taint of God interfering in their crisis management. So why are we experiencing marked increases in mental/spiritual illness with all the help and assistance of the new age counselors: both the secular and spiritual? Give people a pill for life is their solution. No wonder zombie movies and TV programs are popular. It's real life in today's society.

Of course you correctly discern anger in some of my comments. That's because at 78 I'm smart enough to be angry at the stupid, sinful and destructive behavior you progressive jerks have promoted as normal, natural and healthful. You murder our unborn children in the womb and you murder their souls with your hedonistic philosophy and agenda. Every half way normal and descent God loving person should be angry at what Progressive's advocate and are accomplishing in our societies..

Please put your little mind at rest. When I'm not programming part of my busy day defending the faith and my nation I live a very peaceful and sublime life; a very spiritual and contemplative life - it's habitual now. But, thanks be to God, I'm not too old or passive to tolerate the type of BS you Progressives shovel out. You see, unlike you, we know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil and we fight against evil. It's not nearly as important to fight and win against evil as it is to fight, to resist. The winner is a foregone conclusion.

Now enlighten me and explain how you believe those many affairs helped you cope with life.

Odd that you believe doctrine (t***h) to be narrow and ineffective. I expect this is your own personal anti-God philosophy and your Mazlow's approach to be more effective for victims to self-actualize and other nonsensical psychological BS. At least we know now what god you worship. Please allow me to share with you an ancient prayer for a different type of self-actualizing: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, please deliver me from self-love, vainglory, willfulness, false idols and thinking I'm always right. Take all my passions (sins) and turn them into love! These things I humbly pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.

Perhaps you should look up the meaning of doctrine. It does not necessarily align with t***h. Your assertion that I am anti-God is nonsense as is your ignorant and sweeping dismissal of modern psychology.
You cannot possibly know what or whom I worship but it seems to give comfort to your fear of the unknown to categorize people or events that are outside your sphere of comprehension,

Thank you for sharing your noble prayer. Perhaps you could send this to the president who could sorely use some pastoral counseling, particularly the plea to be delivered from "self-love, vainglory, willfulness, false idols, and thinking I am always right. Take all my passions (sins) and turn them into love!"

I could not pray for better for this angry isolated man.

I already suspected you defined your own t***h like the majority of moral relativistic Progressives do.

So far as who or what you believe it is an easy WAG to figure the best you can do is to create a deity with whom you're perfectly comfortable. I suspect he's a psyche major too.

"My fear of the unknown." What sort of psych-babble nonsense is this meant to be? Foolish woman. What do I fear? Death? Certainly not and I'm closer to it every day. There were times in the military when death was not at all a comfort. I was a young man with a beautiful wife and a full life before me. You've got me searching for what I fear and my only fear is for something to happen to our children and grandchildren. Oh, I do fear Progressives gaining control over the nation but that returns to my concern for our children and grandchildren. Progressives promote evil. It's actually just that simple; cut and dried, black and white.

It's funny, as in peculiar not, ha ha, that you "project" a prayer given for you to Trump because he evidently has anger markers with which you might be able to help him. We applaud your sincere and genuine benevolence. (dripping with sarcasm.)

From our short conversations what I hear you saying is that you have a compelling desire to have another affair and you h**e yourself because you're uncontrollably attracted to Donald Trump. Have I unintentionally exposed your own greatest fear? Bless your little heart.

I hope my psychological comments and assessments come back to you as stupid, ignorant and useless as your own were to me. Now try and separate fact from fiction.

Oh I think it does apply to your angry hostile tone and judgemental commentary. Do you really think people are uplifted by this kind of talk? Do you speak in this dogmatic belligerent way to peoples face? Do you speak this way to your family and friends? Your way or the highway?

You are not on trial here but neither am I. It is easier to consider an opinion even if different to our own if it is delivered in a straightforward way, not freighted down by distracting invective and threatening demeanor.
As to your ill considered prayer it did unfortunately seem designed exactly for Trump, particularly in view of his h**eful rants against the fallen warrior John McCain over the last 24 hours.
