Maybe they are not suppose to hold it. I mean if these people are willing to fight for what they believe in, why can't they leave them alone. Or better yet aid them. Everyone has a right to happiness. I've heard you can catch more with honey than vinegar. And besides you can't put 10 pounds of chit in a five pound bag, or or better yet, a house divided against its self is a duplex. We are the dividing force in this situation and we would do good to mind our own business. And Jebus knows our house is in great need of repair. Our actions amounts to being meddlesome.
