Yes, I'd agree with that, it's the only thing that matters. >"So the gap grew, as there was more and >more I didn't and couldn't talk about." > >Aye, there's the rub! What no one wants to do is talk about the >truth if it undermines the premise by which they justify their >beliefs. The premise being undermined was that blacks are sub-human. In fact the black society I was becoming so involved with completely redefined for me what it is to be human. I learnt so much from them. Then they had to teach me not to hate whites! Of course the family et al's way of seeing it was that it was me who was undermined, not "the truth". Quite true, I was most certainly undermined, and I'm most grateful for it. >Everyone should talk about everything! I think you just have to >endure Robert.

No Christian could argue that point with you! This wouldn't apply to Robert's circle, but so many so-called Christians are strangers to any truth that's not in their dogma, even if it is in their Bible. I think it's quite easy to tell who's a real Christian, you can see if they really think that "God is love", and if they don't think that they're not real Christians, IMHO. It's not only Christians who think God is love though, all great souls do, and you find them everywhere. "If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us." I think all societies know that, deep in their communal hearts. >Thanks to both of you, And to you Frank.
