<<you admittted not really being a pacifist>>

There you go again with the "really" thing. Let me repeat it one more time.....

"A pacifist I'm not"

as I stated in my brilliant reply to your question. That means what it says.....doesn't mean I'm "really" not, it means I'm not.

<<Also it dodges the whole issue of why one feels compelled to use a feminine pronoun for God in a society where that is not the norm except for groups estranged from and hostile to the traditional religion - like self-described wiccans, new-age types, or folks who have a problem with the whole idea of God. Which is all I asked. I also fail to see why that question is "limbaugheque".>>

Let me refresh your memory, yet again......this is how you actually asked the question in post # 190521

You realize that all the major monotheistic religions, like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have used male pronouns exclusively for thousands of years. In our society, the only group of people who deliberately use terms like "she" for God are either wiccans, new-agey "earth mother" types, or liberals who don't really believe in any God.

Now do you see where it's Limbaughesque?!? Its these canned quips that are so prevalent in your postings that hurt your credibility. I started my interaction with you to try and understand how you can rationalize condoning the degradation of another human whilst claiming to uphold Christian values. Your religious ideals should always trump your political ideology....for you, this is not the case as I originally suspected. Who do you think Jesus would torture??

I defer to your "bold insight" to deliver the last word as this so obviously seems to be your desire. Have yourself a happy 4th.....
