It's not a tactic. I was trying to illustrate the absurdity of claiming that the "Silver Ring Thing" was an integral part of the Christian religion. Are you claiming it is? Please don't; you're not the only person whose stomach can be churned.
I was responding to several posts quickly and I hastily misjudged your post. I sincerely apologize for that.
I didn’t say it’s an integral part of every denomination of Christianity. I said it’s an integral part of her religion. If you address what I actually say, instead of what you wish I’d said, this would go more smoothly.
