  • + Irini nem ehmot, So now the admin team is removing posts while still refusing to deal with the spam. Gold star admin. Gold. Star.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, So basically what you're both saying is, you both have no evidence to discredit his sainthood. Great. I'm glad we've established that. In the meantime, let's discredit the sainthood of King David, all the prophets, all the patria…

  • + Irini nem ehmot, That's not true at all. The psalms do not imply that the person who prays them (much less the person who wrote them) lived a pure, holy life. The psalms reflect a diverse set of emotions, feelings and spiritual states. There are …
