Chuzzlewit, Your thinking is no different from what i've witnessed amongst drug users. Many who use drugs try to influence others by making the claims that drugs expand your horizons, that it gives you new meaning, that colors suddenly become alive, that sounds are clearer..etc. What we know is that the drugs are eating away the brain cells and though the person may feel they are gaining new heights are they really descending to the abyss. Keep it up and they become so out of touch with reality they they are worthless. A person who has been free from drugs may be tempted to go back but the fear of what they were becoming acts as a good motivator to keep them in the right direction. Likewise, a Christian who has been cleansed from a guilty conscience is often times lured back to vain imaginations, lust, covetousness, etc but the reality of "returning to the beggarly elements" acts a good restraint.

Chuzzlewit, I have a suggestion. As you can see, your opponent in this argument does not even read your posts. He responds with what look like form letters: set pieces that are sent to all "unbelievers", whatever they write to him, whatever issues they raise. If you wish to continue the "dialogue", just repost your latest message, or the one preceding it, with this simple introduction: "I still have not received an answer to the questions in this post." You will either get some answers (I doubt it), or he will stop posting to you (more likely). Not trying to be a Thread Nanny. ;-) Joan
