and listed them with really evil people like child molesters, bank robbers and people who have sex with their own children, as if they are all in the same category.
No, that is your eager imagination running amock, wanting to find fault. I realize that this is your's and Greystone's current tactic, but it's not going to work. Presenting analagies to explain beliefs is not calling the analagous objects themselves one and the same, although there probably would be some semblance of similarity in the mind of the presenter.
But your tactic and criticism is why I shifted my analogy to describe my beliefs to compare how I view alcoholic people.
My best friend for life is an alcoholic (so he has said, and he has had trouble with alcohol abuse), yet I view alochol abuse as "wrong" and "sin". Yet this guy has stayed my best friend throughout the years, and is still my best friend. Are you saying I think he is a "really evil" person?
Nope, of course I don't, and my best friend of course would personally vouch for me and my attitude and actions towards him-->not hateful. Sorry Christine, you'll have to work on a different angle here. |
