Dear Philip,

I have not been able to show my face, as it were, on these forums since your appearance here. I have been too ashamed. You cannot know, cannot even begin to appreciate, what a dagger it has been in my heart to see you here amongst all my friends and, worse, enemies, flaunting your shameless lifestyle.

Most mornings, I find it difficult even to arise from my bed, knowing what kind of filth I would see you spewing here. It is only when my eyes fall upon the crucifix hanging over my dresser — when I see the bloody and broken body of Christ upon the cross — that I remember to offer my own suffering up to the Lord.

But I beg of you, Philip, please leave. These are such nice people, and I could not bear it if you were to convert even one of them to your filthy, disgusting, sodomite ways. You are lost; you will most certainly burn in hell. But there is hope for most of these young people here, and I cannot tolerate you leading them down into the pits where you yourself are destined to burn in everlasting agony.

With all Christian love,

Mother
