On QUOTING Scripture, but not LIVING Scripture...

Have you ever been in the position of knowing a person for a long time,
and kind of "overlooking" certain traits that you found,
 ummm,
"LESS THAN DESIRABLE" ?
for the sake of....
well,
 I don't really know what SAKE it was for!
 lol
But suffice it to say that we, at times, find ourselves in situations that we probably should
NEVER have created in the first place...
And make NO MISTAKE...
We DID create them....
For some weird reason, we lent our "overly-loaded" ears to superfluous hoo-haa...
when in actuality,
we were SO busy with SO many REALLY IMPORTANT things...
But somehow we became TRAPPED in a cage of DOGMA being spat at us...
HURLED at us really.....
from some trashy, IVORY-esque tower,,,,
Strange, but true....
And during these "BROO-HAA" sessions,,,
we had become increasingly AWARE of the
HUMONGOUS,RED FLAGS perched just behind our FRONTAL LOBE...
And for a BRIEF MOMENT ...(a few years actually!!!!)
we IGNORED those flags......
And then one fine and glorious day,,,
we awakened from our COMA......
only to realize,,,,
FINALLY !!!
that this was PURE, UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT.......
and we wanted OUT...
We don't LIKE those pseudo-pious haters of GAY People....
We can't STAND their STAND on CHOICE....
In fact, we DETEST those viewpoints...
We think back on the time we've spent with them...
and we realize. full well,
 that we have NEVER,
 but NEVER,,,
heard of ONE, SINGLE, KIND or CHARITABLE act they had actually DONE....
EVER.....
They were QUOTING SCRIPTURE right and left...
But they were never LIVING SCRIPTURE......
And in the BAT of an "EYELASH",,,,
we FREE ourselves...
just like that......
