No, I did not take offense to Matt's comments. I only clarified his misunderstanding of Scripture. If you believe (as Matt seems to) that Christianity is defined by what you watch on TV and by what Fred Phelps does, you will come away with a very distorted view.

Quite frankly, I do hope Matt had a great birthday. However, I also wanted to remind him to thank the Lord who has blessed Matt with life, breath, and all things he has.
