		<description>Cassandra: I suspect any logical person in your position would have ended-up where you are. But, may I suggest that that does not need to be the end of the story for you?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Forgive the self-serving, but please visit my blog posting at: &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://mormonmysticism.blogspot.com/2007/08/purpose-of-mysticism.html&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;For Cassandra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You are not ant the end of the journey, you are just beginning!</description>

		<description>I am inspired by your story. You took a very courageous step in the face of such appaling hardships which is not in every one&#039;s lot to bear. I fully empathize with you and hope that you will always live happily now with your family.  There are few people like you who can take such intellectually and emotionally demanding decisions. Wish you all the best!</description>

		<description>I listened to your story and you have a very good point: Christians (among other religious people) can sometimes, or a lot of the times, have a terrible way of treating people who do not beleve in a God. They can judge, pick-on, or look down upon people who do not have the same beliefs as he or she may have. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But I want to make a suggestion, in fact, a statement: There is only one standard and that is Jesus Christ. If you look for true, pure, love from other people, most of the time you will find disappointment. Why is this? Simple, we are all human. We all make mistakes, sin (whatever your definition of sin may be), and make bad choices. That&#039;s what makes us human. But Jesus. Jesus! Read in the bible how he didn&#039;t go to the rich and famous people of Israel. He went to the prostitutes, tax collectors, people who did immoral, sick things. Why? Because Jesus loves all.&lt;br/&gt;You said in your article that you started taking science classes in high school. That is very commendable! I love science. Did you know that if gravity was 1 followed by ten zeros different up or down, life would cease to exsist. Or that our universe is expanding (which proves that big bang theory)! Why is this important? Suppose i went into another room from you and made a clap sound...Then returned...And you asked me, &#039;What was the clap sound.&#039; and I replied, &quot;Nothing.&quot; Would you believe me? I highly doubt it. There is no difference between my small clapp and God&#039;s big bang of everything. I suggest you read The Case For Faith, by Lee Strobel. Lee was an educated atheist. If you are true to your words, by studying and weighing down the facts, I challenge you to read this book. It will either back your statements up, or perhaps, change your mind. I say all this to you because you matter. Just like everyone else on this whole blog. Thank-you for your words and comments.</description>

		<description>Hussy, I am more of a Deist leaning than a full blown Christian.  However, I do respect the courage it takes to come out and discuss things like this.  I am glad to see that things have worked out well for you.  Maybe your blog will help others decide that it&#039;s ok to feel the way you do, or at least offer an alternative to the &quot;heathen&quot; aspect that is often painted.  Thanks again for your courage.  Good blog.</description>
