Having read the post and seeing there was a wife bashing comment used as a
metaphor, thus resulting in a deletion of the post I find a bit stupid. If it
was meant as no harm. But today there are people who want to take things to the
extreme. I would say that 99.9% of people on here would never hit their wives
and if there is 0.1% then even if reading that post somehow in there wacky minds
thought wow hitting my wife is right, well I do not think so.

That is the problem escpecially from people who want to go on religious crusades
to save our souls. And ones that want to portray a perfect goodness image.

Either way the second coming of Christ as told in the book of revelations is
coming soon and I think that is should be left to God to judge this comment as
we are incapable or doing so ourselves. As clearly shown by the for and against
in this thread
