People like the ones who will quote scripture at you in a supermarket are the people who fit neatly into Category 1. No amount of reason or logic or actual fact will convince them that they are wrong. It takes away their medium of control, so the reality doesn't matter. And as Ted said- what fun is life if we can't laugh at each other and ourselves? I tell my co workers all the time that they are on this earth to amuse me, and I them.
You're a priest, correct, Ozman? Many blessings to you, friend.
I am number three, if you want to know I will tell you but I will never approach and preach. The funny thing is #1 and #2 seem to forget judge not lest ye be judged.
