So the first thing I have to do here is answer a few of the points brought up over the night. You will have to forgive me if I don’t get to everything right now, but I haven’t had a lot of time to look over things, breakfast for the family and making sure my son gets off to school comes first.<\/p>\n

The first thing I have to comment on is why do I have to be a man? Is it impossible for a woman to have these strong of beliefs on her own, or are those things only reserved for men? The same thing goes for the ability to create a website, people talk about my old fashioned beliefs but overlook the fact that women can be just as savy as men.<\/p>\n

Second there are all these calls for me to reveal who I am. I would like to respond to these calls by asking all of you, the reasonable ones or not, to look at the comments I’ve been receiving on here. Look at the death threats, the wishes for great harm to come to me either from natural ways or from personal attacks. I mean as a good Christian woman just the simple number of wishes for me to ‘burn in hell’ is enough to scare me. I would like to ask you all to take a moment and look at my posts, at any point have I ever threaten anyone with bodily harm? I even promise to pray for those that don’t agree with what the Bible teaches us.<\/p>\n

So here I am, passionate about my beliefs and wanting to explain myself to others that take the time to read and I am met with nearly all hatred. I am going to pray for everyone regardless, but I don’t think my promise of prayer is equal to ‘hoping I get killed in a drive-by’.<\/p>\n

I must say though while I am not surprised by the treatment I have received at the hands of the non-believers, the treatment that hurts me the worst has been from all the people that talk about how Christian they are and then tell me to ‘burn in f**king hell’. It’s these people I think are ‘giving Christians a bad name’ not myself.<\/p>\n

I’ve been getting tons of emails as well from people wanting to support me, asking for interviews, or just sharing kind words and prayers. I appreciate these greatly and understand why they are unwilling to post here on the site, given the attacks I have suffered I wouldn’t want anyone else to have to go through these kinds of things like I am.<\/p>\n
