     Just when you think you have everything under control , you don't.  Thank God, he does.  I recently spent five days in Phoenix on a residency.  I enjoyed it until the guest Plenary speaker (it's supposed to be the highlight of the five days, I wouldn't listen again for five minutes).  I understand that the Christian faith has come under fire from the government and various left wing groups.  They don't want it in the schools, in public, on display anywhere, they are so offended.  Of course they don't ask us if we are offended at their public displays, or presence.  If Christians say anything then we are intolerate of other groups, if they don't like Christians, they get to suppress any manifestation of the faith everywhere, but that's not intolerance.  I personally think it's more of a hate crime targeting a group, but that's just my opinion. 
    
     Anyway the plenary speaker began to mock the bible.  He actually turned several stories in it around to suit his speech and in so doing showed his ignorance as well as his own intolerance.  Apparently, he was not concerned with offending any group within the audience of over 1000 people.  More than likely, if he would have started bashing gays it would have been a public outrage and he would have been made to stop, but not in this case.  Everyone sat quietly and listened to him speak,......except me, of course.  I very verbally packed up my books, my phone and my purse explained in a voice that was quite audible to those around me that the speaker was apparently extremely ignorant and therefore, I didn't have time to listen to him.  I asked my friend next to me "do you hear him, he's publicly mocking the Bible, seriously I'm not going to listen to this idiot that doesn't have a clue what he is talking about".  Sad part was I paid for the residency and in turn paid for his presence...I want my money back. 

     I'd heard of this type of garbage taking place in universities and classrooms, but I didn't think people would just sit there and not move.  If the Christians in that room would have gotten out of their seats more than half the audience would have left and that's exactly what shouldve happened.

     In my life that was a mere spec of entertainment, there has been so much drama inflicted on my peaceful life that I finally put my foot down and said enough.  I have been forced to deal with people and read conversations that are so trashy, so low, I really didn't think people actually lived and talked that way but apparently I was so blatently wrong, there was no way I could ever be right.  It's interesting, they masked their true selves, they take showers, put clean clothes on and wear loads of perfume and cologne.  Then they try to say as little as possible because if they start talking, WOW, the perverse, hateful, disgusting speech that flows from their mouths is vile.  You really don't know people until you get an inside glimpse of them without their knowing. 

     I've decided to remove myself from this population.  I feel sorry for children who have to live in the environment, the adults think they're fooling people, that noone knows the things they do in secret.  God vindicates and when those children have Christian relatives who continually pray for them, the end of those people is never good, I've seen it too many times.  Until then.......just sit back and watch.
