Well. Something sure set you off!
Perhaps you will be more specific for me as to my alleged transgressions, since you make multiple charges, all unsubstantiated.
You profusely profess your Christian faith
The posts you base this on, please? I have been very quiet about my faith. There was a period several years ago when I was pressed very hard about it by people whose only interest was in denigrating my beliefs, but at no time did I profusely profess a Christian faith. What I said at one point, when pressed for a response whether I was a Christian or not, was that some people would consider me one and some would not. Hardly a profuse profession of anything. I would be fascinated to read the posts where you think I profusely profess a Christian faith.
repeatedly fail to practice many of its basic tenets.
Which basic tenets are you referring to? There is remarkably little agreement even among those who call themselves Christians about what the basic tenets of Christianity are. Ask a Catholic, a Baptist, and a Unitarian, and see what agreement you can get. Can you please be more specific?
You decry the supposed intolerance and bigotry of others while displaying a remarkable intolerance for diverse
opinions, at the same time seeking the approval of others of your own bigoted opinions.
I don't think I've every decried the bigotry of others. Would you point to the posts you're referring to? Once I know what you're referring to, I can respond appropriately.
The only time I recall decrying the supposed intolerance of others is referring to a person who posts repeatedly about how tolerant she is, at which I point out the facts which belie that claim.
There are many things I am openly intolerant of. I am intolerant of perjury. I am intolerant of child abuse I am intolerant of hypocrisy. I have never claimed to be tolerant of those things. Please show me where I have claimed to be tolerant of something I have later been intolerant of.
While decrying the supposedly deviant nature of lifestyles and people different than you, you have no problem engaging in lewd public cyber-sex with unknown partners.
Lewdness is in the eye of the beholder. I freely admit to having enjoyed romantic cyber dalliances with various persons here. As far as I know, all of them were willing partners who shared the enjoyment of dalliance. If you considered it lewd, well, I think that says more about you than about me.
You have spoken much of the sanctity of marriage (damning Clinton for example) while publicly flaunting the vows of your own marriage.
Do you mean flaunting, or flouting? And let's be precise here. I didn't damn Clinton for having sex outside of marriage. That's between him and Hillary and whatever God he may or may not believe in. And I can't damn him anyhow, only God can do that. What I criticized him for were three things. First, abuse of his position, having sex with a subordinate, which gets most people in business fired outright. Second, perjury committed not only by an attorney sworn to uphold the law but by the person who was also the chief law enforcement officer of the country. Third, obstruction of justice, again by an attorney and by the chief legal officer of the country. I continue to think those things were wrong. Do you think they were right and good things for him to do? I would really be interested in your response to that question.
As to my vows of marriage, I have neither flaunted nor flouted them. If you consider cyber-dalliance a breach of marital vows, well, that's your opinion, and may be Jim Bakker's or Jimmy Carter's ("I have lusted in my heart"), but it isn't mine.
Shame on you.
If you think anything I have done is shameful, well, you're entitled to your opinion; I'm quite tolerant of that. But I have no feeling that I have anything to be ashamed of. |
