As far as poet goes she responded to me, not with ideas, but with hateful, and vindictive attacks on my personal character. You now, have bordered on the same. All I can say is I expected better of you. Poet has been completely non responsive to me, as far as any substantive interaction, perhaps I have reacted badly to having my character and motives assassinated, I don't know. No Greg, I don't hate you. I think your judgmentalism and condemnation of others, couched in what you characterize as Christianity, fly in the face of everything I have ever known as a Christian. I feel shamed as a Christian by the lack of tolerance and love I see you espousing in the name of Christ. This may be the first time another Christian has challenged you, even expressed disgust, at your beliefs on this thread, which appears to be populated mostly by agnostics and atheists. It must hurt, not as much as your statements that those who do not believe as you do will burn in Hell, but I am sure it hurts a little.

So here is this guy, using words that belong in a seminary, and all I did was point that out. I think that you are wrong when you say that those words belong in a seminary. They belong in all our souls. [Speaking of souls, I responded on KK to a question from Poet just recently explaining what I meant when I used that particular word. "Sublime" and "soul" are very real concepts to me and I won't let you deny them to me.] ...since it was the focus of the C.S Lewis chapter titled "Men Without Chests". I earlier posted an article about that, I guess you didn't read it. I read it. You now, have bordered on the same. What I said was not hateful. And it most certainly wasn't vindictive. I don't even feel hateful or vindictive towards bin Laden--it's not in my nature--so I certainly don't feel that way towards you. You may deem my words inaccurate and insulting if you think that warranted. I meant what I said. Poet has been completely non responsive to me, as far as any substantive interaction And you have said nothing responsive to my points. I've been posting to you for a while now about the bright line as I've been working to formulate its location. Yet you haven't challenged where I draw that line. Nor have you asserted that I've misinterpreted your choice to position yourself on the far side of it. You haven't acknowledged my point at all. What else am I to think? Karen
