"I did not say that I believed Ronald Reagan
was the antichrist - I did not."

What you said was:

"I once heard a teaching that figured out why Ronald Reagan was the antichrist - he was buried today."

Coming at the end of a post which sanitized the idea...the very intimation is coarse and grotesque. Your present disclaimer removes some of the opprobrium due you, I suppose.

But I think you fail to understand that the idea you were broaching in general is offensive to the hearts and minds of rational people. The world has had enough of accusing groups of people of being godless or satanic. Groups, at least, have some power to return prejudice and discrimination in like. But single individuals have no such remedy to the charge of being satanic. Society lived through centuries of idiocy where people were charged by cruel misfits of humanity with witchcraft, satanic collusion, heresy, and the like. Innocent individuals were drawn and quartered and burned and tortured over lesser charges than the one you sanitize. Whether you personally supported the accusation against Reagan...you apparently do not find the idea anathema to public suggestion; and that, sir, is appalling and repugnant to good taste.

"Thank you for your Christian response"

It wasn't such. It was a humanist response.

"I am an idiot - you are a perfect gentleman"

You overestimate either my birth or my bearing, I am sure.
