"I hope you don't feel disrespected, I think a person who tries to help is the one most worthy of respect."

Not at all. Thanks for your reply.

I did not grow up a Christian. My family - brothers and sisters are in all sorts of trouble because of drugs and alcohol. My mom was a bartender. My step dad was an professional rodeo cowboy and an alcoholic. I became a Christian at the age of 21 and it has saved my life. I believe ANYONE can benefit from faith.

However, I too am afraid of how some within Christianity manipulate others with their faith.
