I may or may not be a Christian. That is for God to decide when the time comes.
That said, I believe the Bible is a wonderful historical reference and a great tool to use in life's lessons.

I found something that I think is pertinent to this discussion.


"Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For whatever measure you deal out to others it will be dealt to you in return." (Luke 6:38)

Not only does this apply to the gifts of goodness, but also of the bad.

If you give judgment, you shall be judged;if you give spite, you shall receive spite;if you spread hate, hate you shall receive.

Just remember. If you give Respect...you shall receive it in return. I'm sure many hurt feelings were both gifted and received in this conversation. It makes me very sad to see this from such a wonderful group of ladies (and gents).
