I stated what I believe, Dave. And I have made it clear that my position is that of the scriptures I quoted. Personal opinion and reason do not trump what God has clearly stated. Therefore my reasoned opinion is a moot issue. I have to stand on what Christ said. And that I have quoted already, then alluded to and paraphrased a number of times. I'm sorry you respect neither scripture nor Christ's word on the subject; but, you need not lie about me because of it..

Are you an anarchist? Are you a pacifist?
Just answer. Be a man.
