*blink*

Y'all, the end is near. I just got this email from my father in response to my email to my aunt (who has not responded). Yes, he's the one who was a Southern Baptist clergyman. Who studied at Jerry Falwell's seminary. No, really.

Hey Chris,
I hear you loud and clear. I have a similar view than yours. And am truly sorry for the offence . I guess aunt linda's heart is in a good place but her words and forwards are not biblical . This email was from fallible minds. Some people don't see the forest because the trees are in the way. Gods view and man are probably very different but i prefer the k.i.s.s. Theory in religion . And God gets pissed and shakes his head at our more often wrong interpretation of his word and direction of it. I love you Chris and am very proud of you. Go with what you know you are intelligent enough to hold on to truths in your heart.
I love you
dad.

P.s.
Way to make a stand!
And great way with words but be a little less angered and more passionate .

Well, I was passionate. Passionately angry counts, right? But still... not at all the response I was expecting.

So, to sum up-- in the last week, both of my parents told me that they're proud of me, and my stepfather told me he thinks I'm awesome, and my ex-stepmother invited me to Christmas dinner.

Wonders never cease. I don't know what crack's been in their water lately, but I think I like it.
