I promised to be civil and so I'm going to try even it kills me, which it might.
I realize that to some people, "romance" means sticking your tongue in another person's mouth, inappropriate touching, removal of clothing and so and so forth. I don't know way, it makes little sense to me. I think it really is that people don't really know what love is and so they label anything of an intimate nature as "love", but that's beside the point.
When I say "romance" I mean interaction between two beings who love each other. In the story, I believe that anyone could put themselves in Kat's place and act much in the same way. Guys aren't that into peeking other guys on the cheek so that would be different I think. People assume that Jesus would require stuff like sex to be intimate with someone, something that's not really true.
I think that I started writing this partly because it was a daydream of mine to be with Jesus when he died, when he doesn't seem to have anyone else, but also because of all the pieces that other people have written about the, ahem, "romance" Jesus had with other. I will admit that I am a little over protective.
I realize that some people have the childish urge to make fun of the beliefs and faith of others. I realize that some people think it's fun to upset others by writing things about Jesus that is so demeaning. This is, of course, childish as I have said and very immature. I expect more but people disappoint me.
This isn't, of course, addressed to my reviewers (Thank you Angel and Heavenstone words truly do not express my gratitude, and Beans and Ourea and all the other peoples who reviewed:) I'll give the benefit of the doubt to some of the others.
I don't really mind getting flamed for putting the word "romance" in the title and genre. I would much prefer to get a flame from someone who thought I was doing the wrong sort of "romance", their heart is very much in the right place and I appreciate them. Knowing that there are still people out their willing to defend Jesus rests me easy.
Lol, if I was reading the story I would be very skeptical of it:) So I'll warn people, I am extremely protective of my Jesus, and I would be dead several times over without him. I need him more then I need food or anything else. Please ::being very civil:: do not talk about Jesus and "sex" in the same sentence around me.
