Oh, phooey..........the teacher and mother in me has brought me back to explain the 'untruth' to an inept and stubborn pupil, in spite of the fact that it was already clearly explained....
So let's analyze, shall we? You're first post to me (unsolicited) called me a Kool-aid drinker.
Let's look at the historic connotation of that term.......following me so far? Jim Jones. Jonestown. Kool-aid. Poison. Mass Death. Are you old enough to remember the photos of the bloated bodies, pod?
Why did they drink it? Why did they die? Because they were blindly following a cult leader, correct? Because they were incapable of thinking independently or rationally, correct? Because they foolishly believed that Jim Jones was a prophet of God, when he was actually a madman.
NOW.......let's come back to your calling ME a Koolaid drinker (presumably because your less than rational mind thinks that I would die if President Bush asked me to drink poison).
I think completely independently, and rationally. I have never in my life, nor will I ever follow anyone blindly - preacher, politician or otherwise. I have been a Christian for 50 years, and have a solid moral compass due to Christ's work in me. I am a rebel, and never believe what anyone tells me without questioning it first, and comparing it against God's Word. That's who I am.
Now YOU reconcile the bloated bodies at Jonestown with ME, and tell me what was truthful about it....
I'll give you time. Perhaps the gray world of moral relativism in this culture that has obviously affected your sense of right and wrong will slow down the process of your understanding, but I am convinced that at some point.......maybe a few years from now.........you will understand that false accusations are on the black side of black and white. This is not gray, and it is not right.
(btw, that was just ONE example. I'll let you ponder the rest).

My point to you at that time you have correctly identified and I have put it in bold so that my meaning is clear. I have not seen anything in what you have posted to change my opinion.

I have made no false accusation. I made an observation from what, and how, you were posting. You may disagree with my opinion, but that does not prove it to be false.
Methinks you are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.
