angiej: "My faith isn't as simple and trusting and
pure as it was when I was 18 and a brand-new member of the church
[...][*]"
poconell: "I think you get that innocence back in a
higher form, after your faith has been tested."
([*]The elided text, which I cut because it got in the way of the
response but which probably changes the impression folks will get
of what angiej was saying (so I feel compelled to include
it in this footnote so as to not misrepresent her), is, "[...]
But the fact that after 10 years of living and plenty of shaking, I
haven't shaken my Christianity completely off, is a testament to Pastor
Brown.")
