I don't think that the fact that you dogmatically claim that it's wrong to make dogmatic claims is a dodge at all especially when this is the major focus of your objection to my postings. Now you want to make it plain that as far as you are concerned I have not lived up to your skewed belief about the essence of Christian teachings. I reject your errant interpretations of scripture and the false dilemma that you then set up. I probably shouldn't take your personal insults personally and I do strive to be as Christ like as I can but then I am only human. If we were to sit down across a table from one another I'm confident that we would both be shocked at how the discussions would be different in tone. 1. We expect parents to make decisions for children, and to be accountable for children until they are experienced enough to make decisions for themselves, society or its advocates make decisions persons with severe alzheimers, or other severe mental handicaps. You, therefore, should consider yourself accountable to a higher moral standard of conduct, and regard someone as ignorant as me to be innocent. Your treatment of dopey me therefore should be one of charity and mercy ( Corinthians 13:13 ... but the greatest of these is charity). You should then be ready, willing, able, and proactive at remedying your oversights and quick to apologize for your every slight on another, correcting your flawed attempts at exemplary points of view and repentant for your malicious attitude. WOW talk about spinning and obfuscation. False dilemma and the truth of my arguments are not disqualified because I am not perfect any more than a logical truth statement is disqualified without divine omniscience. "2) I have expressed on going concern for you and your well being. I have oft pointed out the error of your conduct while I have repeatedly encouraged you to stand up for a more decent standard and to follow a more benevolent path." It's very hard to distinguish between sincerity and sneering with you but I do appreciate any genuine concern that you have shown toward me. It would go a long way in establishing your own credibility if you were to acknowledge your own shortcomings with regard to your attitude and behavior toward me. As it stands now: it's a one way street. "3)I have not made myself a champion for dogmatism, although you have made frequent claims that I am dishonestly harboring some secret about all that." You have continually asserted truth claims of your own with respect to ultimate reality, and refused repeated requests to identify what authority you rest those claims on. It is completely fair point that out.
