I agree with Lotus, Smiley. I know you're hurting (and loathing) right now, and it pains me to see a man of such strength and character having these challenges, but challenges they are, and staying with Themselves is STILL "The Right Thing to Do."

“No, do not be afraid of those nations, for the Lord your God is among you, and he is a great and awesome God. 22 The Lord your God will drive those nations out ahead of you little by little. You will not clear them away all at once, otherwise the wild animals would multiply too quickly for you. 23 But the Lord your God will hand them over to you. He will throw them into complete confusion until they are destroyed. 24 He will put their kings in your power, and you will erase their names from the face of the earth. No one will be able to stand against you, and you will destroy them all.
-- Deut. 7:21
Just read that about 20 minutes ago. I thought I'd share it with you.
