I don't know what sinful things she's done, other than being a media personality itself. And that's the only reason why I am skeptical of her
sincerity. I don't know what it's like to be a celebrity, but I sense that they sometimes fake their values.

That particular family has good values. I forgive people who hurt me too, but I do it for my own good because it's not healthy to hold grudges or to dwell on the past too much.

Charlie was only right 99.99% of the time. Nobody can be right all the time.

Good point. Having rules, keeping values, knowing right from wrong, are all productive qualities.

I don't get it. What's a WAP? Around here it's a nickname for Italians (and for suspected Italians.)

I'm sure they're missing some opportunities when they do that. There are better ways for them to make an argument, but they often choose baseless bashing.

 IJ> I heard her say... She wants to put God in her life.  I heard her say
 IJ> she was sick of being silenced  and I heard her say she didn't like the

I heard that conversation too, but she's kinda all over the place with those words. She should tell us who was trying to silence her and how, and what she's doing different now to connect better with God.
