I've gotten flamed a lot of times but I don't care. They definitely will experience the wrath of God!!! Hmm. I hope that my Lord, who consented to being killed by people who truly hated him, and still asked for them to be forgiven, would not react so hastily when people make small jokes. My Lord just isn't damaged that easily. On the other hand, laughing *with* the people telling the jokes can, and has, resulted in them coming to know the Lord. Interesting concept, living *with* the "evil"...almost smacks of that revolutionary Jew who lived with lepers and ate with tax collecters. What *is* the world coming to, indeed? -- Michael I.
