and really IS a "gift from God"
then what does that DO to the "argument" that psychic ability is something that comes "from the Devil" ??

forced upon us due to "Christian dogma"
needless to say, after all these years of struggling to understand "why", I have come to the conclusion that these ideas are self-serving for those professing them and so I nowhave the psychic "Get out of Jail Free" card
but most of us have had to deal with this our whole lives -- not much different emotionally from being Gay in a Christian family
no one understands and everyone "condemns" BASED on somebody else's interpretation of "Christianity"
I'm over it -- but I am a pretty self-aware character . . . and it took me 35 years to get here
others are still struggling with this -- and it is NOT fair to them
