No, I didn’t crawl back to Jesus or anything. I identified that was just feeling a bit shit. Therefore comments are now closed and no further discussion will be entered into.

I attended church because I wanted to, and I thought that what they said sounded good and true.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
