"If I was not clear, let me clarify. I used the word churchianity as a mechanism to draw a particular contrast. If I implied or explicitly replied I had perceived you as having been triggered, I apologize. However, from the emphatic nature of your quick response to my use of the word, I perceived some aspect of triggering." I'm glad we cleared up the misunderstanding. It looked to me like you'd already declared I'd been "triggered" over the phrase, and were referring me to Psychologists or other experts to "solve my problem" - as if I had a problem that needed to be solved. Since I wasn't even "triggered", it seemed to me a lot of effort to make. "I perceived some aspect of triggering." I admit I'm a little quick on the draw when I see someone diagnose me with incomplete information and begin recommending solutions to problems that don't exist. I think I fall short of actually being "triggered" -by accusations of being triggered. I still don't like it and prefer to set the record straight. BTW, I didn't respond that quickly, I responded about 24 hours later, at my convenience. So, I hope we can put that non-issue to rest.

Decisions not only mine are based upon some blend of logic and emotion. I guess the exact makeup of both would be different for me than you. I have never been friends with you on social media that I am aware of. Thx for the response. Different views to me aren’t offensive.

Re-reading what I wrote, not sure that I was clear enough that I don't mean everybody who attends church regularly is under "churchianity." Certainly not what I meant. I do know that service in many capacities is deeply meaningful to some attendees, whether doing the flowers, or cleaning and tidying the building, or whatever it is. There are very many people who do these things as an outward expression of their inner faith and a desire to help others. I include myself in that category. Good for your mum, STL, if she can lovingly serve Christ in that way.
