There you have it athena,...the statement that you didn't want to hear. Pretty lousy excuse, huh? Actually, it is not "an excuse", and, there can be none. It is possible for there to be a reason, but not an excuse. There can be no excuse for misbehavior, excuses are simply not acceptable. Usually, Christians get little respect as human beings, we're held to a higher standard (as we should be) to the point of dehumanization. Well, that higher standard is not for everyone who CALLS themselves Christian, but that standard will also sometimes, unfortunately, be breached by the faithful. I offer no excuse because there is none. There can be reasons, but no excuse.
