Keltic,
I am sorry your dad went off on you. Where is Christianity today? Has it gotten stuck in a quagmire of hatred, fear and judgmentalism? It seems to me that fundies are the self-proclaimed policeman for God and since obviously God isn't doing His job well enough for them, they feel they have to do it for him, because He just isn't punishing these infidels enough. Ohmigosh! God save us from people who think they need to do Your job for you!!!
