They are dangerous, I agree. However, this one does tend to get the message when we fail to feed his zeal, whereas arguing with him seems to provoke further explosions of spleen--all supposedly in the name of Christ.

This is the sort of person who helps to form weird images of people who are truly religious; he helps to perpetuate bigotry.

I, for one, should enjoy your sticking around if you like. If not, do come back again one of these days.

>one must state one's position and NEVER let anyone step on your toes<

I accomplish that by keeping my toes on this side of the screen. :-)

I like to argue as much as the next bottle of beauty aid. Even so, I am learning that if I have to say something more than once (rarely twice) my motive is bound to be not the other's education, but my own pride. Fwiw. So I try to decouple my dignity from something as inherently unimportant as words on a screen between effectively total strangers. (Try always, succeed mostly.)

So Chris thinks we're all hellbound. He's got his reasons for thinking that. Nobody here is gonna change that. Enough folks have voiced their, uhm, dissent. I didn't mean to pick on you. Even so - at this point I hope you realize your spirited defense is about you, not about Chris. :-)

PS Killer beans, Dude, but ditch the donkey. :-D
