Really good for you! Enjoy it.

Are you a fraud or are you just rude and ignorant? You pretend to be a spiritual women, but I don’t see any grace or love.
Grow up and stop treating others like dirt.....
My Response:
Listen, I meant what I said. You told me about some info about a group, you didn’t ask me any theological questions, so I just said “good for you.” I wasn't sarcastic in its entirety although it was implied, I didn’t know what else to say.
You have to understand that I don’t get mad easily nor do I get offended easily, so don’t take what I’m about to write as a strike in war. That’s the problem when you communicate with typing you don’t know or embrace the emotion from the other.
I’d say that between being false, arrogant and rude. I’d probably be in the rude category. You see, when I tell people things I never tell them what they want to hear, I tell them what they need to hear to give out truth. Now, everybody’s definition of rude is different and based on each individual’s life experiences. Most people believe, if you don’t talk to them in a teletubbie fashion, it's rude, no it’s just adult (it varies in circumstance). It may sound rude if I tell a person who is watching porn their on their way to hell. This individual will think that’s mean, but is it? Is the cost of truth actually supposed to be bears and kisses? Discretion will not help two people who differentiate with each other in some way, for the most part. In some shape or form, someone will take offense and feel the need to fling a dagger at the other person, even if it cost them their intelligence.
So what does it really mean to be rude?
Here is my definition: It's when individuals who have some type of narcissistic character give their beliefs opinions and ideas believing in meta-ethical moral relativism so much that they judge and curse another’s inability to exist like them and justify themselves with their normative viewpoints.
I don’t consider myself to be rude, but I find myself to be real, and truthful with a straightforward demeanor. I do agree that I lack diplomacy in some aspects but in many ways, I show tactfulness, it varies (depends on who the person is).
With the help of the Holy Spirit, I am led to show sensitively but direct affection toward the truth, which puts me in a place of authority and sometimes discretion is not my best suit, but discernment adorned in a capsule only to be shown to those whom the Holy Spirit leads me to reveal secrets.
So it’s not so much a lack of reverence for you but a fulfillment of answer because there is nothing else that exists in my train of thought.
