Methinks the newbie coverbd doth not yet comprehend the sarcasm and witful jest historically attributed to this site.
Reminds me of a bus kid's understanding of doctrine...
I bet the poor guy never even got a pickle in his lunch with the ends bit off...
If your frustration with a person causes you to walk away from "the faith," you were worshipping the wrong god anyway.
