It sure sounded like you were. You were basically saying that I shouldn't mind being used to con my friends, because I Christian.
Warb, I think wd made a very reasonable argument. I think everybody understood what he meant, there was no need to spell it out. But I will do that, cause I'm the self appointed dispenser-of-things-that-are-obvious.
Basically what he meant was:
If it was true, your money was going to a good cause.
If it was a lie, justice would have been done anyway, plus your conscience would have been clean, cause you'd done your part in doing something good for your neighbour (in principle). Now, I believe this hold true for anybody, not just christians. I, for one, agree with that. WD was just trying to appeal to your religious sensibility to make things easier for you. But you seem to have a reputation for being easily offended. And these posts of yours really don't help your reputation.
well, maybe I am a bad Christian then. I be am pissed at what happened, and believe I have a perfect right to be pissed at being used in such a fashion.
and yeah, I know I have a rep for being easily offended. I have a bad temper and I am very sensitive. I know that. I have worked on my temper and continue to do so.

My two cents.
A humble word of advice, if you'll accept it: don't always jump right into conclusions, try and control your temper, and show respect towards your neighbour, cause he respects you.
yeah.
