I must clarify something here. I didn't know who she was back then, it was a series of unforseen events that lead to our communication. She was using a account on another Christian forum that I was frequenting. It began at Christmas time the first year I arrived at Queensland, Australia. I started a topic about loneliness, that someone may play chess with me. So this mystery girl Taylor offered her time to have a game, but she didn't know how to play. We did play when I taught her the game, then after we continued to talk. She was pretty nice to me overall, but I held a grudge against her for being a Christian, so I ended up destroying the friendship. She even offered me money if I needed, but I turned her down scoffing at her.

The rest is history.

Payday blues? Consider this. (I read this at a different forum)

Hourly workers sell their life one hour at a time.

Heartbreaker.

I played Chess semi-professionally in my younger days. Do you still play?

Who is it that you love Matthias.

Although worded differently, a scribe essentially asked Jesus the same question. Jesus is my teacher.

“A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been trained, will be like his teacher.” - Jesus

My answer is his answer: the Lord your God and your neighbor.

I know, it's not like Christians have had a history of topnotch behaviour.

Christians are human beings, and we run the gamut on the behavior chart. Individual behavioral histories vary.

You wouldn't have as many moral behavioural quandaries if didn't belief so much.

Christianity is filled with wheat and tares.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. He’s what true Christianity looks like.
