as you can see by the baiting subject I am poking fun at Mike. There is a lot of Christian bashing in todays world, a lot of christians getting killed in parts of the world. Doesnt mean people have a personal issue with you, just a gnashing of their misunderstanding of others. Ben was truly set back by my view on Marriage and the State but we can agree that we passionately disagree on that and other subjects. It doesnt let my personal feelings be offended as all I would have to do to be unaffended is to troll elsewhere. Here you will get a thorough grilling on any given position and if I had more time I would play with Mike's statement about religion, since he hasnt responded to my first sally I suggest he is also busy. I would find it very interesting to see the pastoral response to his quotes from the manual so to speak. However the person doing so should be wearing flame retardant pants and do it out of duty rather than anger.
Your voice is always rational here and welcome.
thanx,
