You should "seriously" begin considering your words more carefully. Such unwarranted verbal attacks expose you, not as a Christian, but as one who wears Christianity as a cloak of deception. Your vituperative utterances carry the faint stench of the dark side. They telegraph the message of one who lives by hate, not by love. It leads me to suspect that you may be carrying a great pain in your heart. It is for that very reason that I am responding in this post. Again, I'm not being accusatory. I'm not attacking you or your beliefs. I'm merely expressing my observations from the very limited perspective of reading your posts. I, perhaps futilely, hope that it will be taken as constructive criticism, not verbal attack or condemnation. I don't know Ms. Tudor. I've read a few of her posts and found her to be quite informative. When someone says, "She worships mammon, and mammon only" it is a derogatory statement. It strikes me as an expression of opinion, not fact. I neither asked for, nor am I interested in your opinion of Ms. Tudor or anyone else on these threads. Since the subject of my original post to you was the transfer of life at birth and the legal acceptance of RU486, not Ms. Tudor, it would seem to me that you are engaged in some sort of attempted character assassination. I'll keep no truck with that. My suggestion is that you search your heart for self understanding. If there is an antagonist to the protagonist self, you'll find it there, not in Ms. Tudor or me. My apology if my plain talk raises your ire. My observations are limited in scope to but a few paragraphs you have written to me. If you are appalled at what I say, then you should go back and review the material if you haven't already done so. Such limited contact is not enough for me to know or understand you, but it is enough, given the content of your prose, for me to make these few observations. I attempt not to judge you. If you have the ability to reason, are capable of abstract self examination, and can take constructive criticism, then you'll understand my observations and will not judge me for having made them. So, unless you want to convince me otherwise, I'll give you the last word. You can lash out once more, express more disdain for Ms. Tudor, or struggle to re-establish your cloak. My guess, based on limited contact, is that you will do all three when if fact you should be writing an apology to the thread and Ms. Tudor. HerbVic
