[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 57767, member: 135"] As somebody who considers myself a Christian, I find it offensive. Are we not told that, unlike Cain who said, "Am I my brother's keeper?" we are responsible for helping each other in this world? It seems to me that if you want to quote the Bible, it would be a hundred times easier to find quotes to suggest that we should help our neighbors than to find those that suggest we should stay out of our neighbor's house. The woman sounds like a first class hypocrite to me. Jesus had time for little children; why does she think she is too good for them? I am not a good enough Christian to be overjoyed at a childish nuisance next door, but I hope I'm a good enough one that if I found myself in that position I would be at least a little helpful. The poor dad is probably overwhelmed and needs all of the help and kindness he can get. I doubt that anybody, on their death bed, ever says, Gee, I wish I hadn't been so nice to people and so helpful to others. If so, and that is who will be in heaven, I hope I go to the other place.
