Bless you for your kind words.
I don’t, per se, consider myself as running down anyone’s wholesale institution . . . except that I think RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS OF EVERY STRIPE tend to be destructive to relationships with God. And the older and more !!!TRADITION!!! BOUND, the worse they seem to be, in my experience. And I find that quite independent of doctrinal particulars though SOME doctrines seem to exacerbate some excesses in SOME institutions.
I hope you saw Markomalley and I’s exchanges this evening . . . I forget the thread.
I really don’t see myself running down anyone’s church more than I do my own, per se.
I relentlessly, . . . assault destructive things in the Body of Christ wherever I find them.
Most of that which I assault in my own belief system, I tend to do locally and in those arenas where such folks are represented.
I understand your perspective. I appreciate your kind words. I’m grieved you see my comments about the RC experience as you do. But I can understand them.
I realy don’t see your tenacity in countering beliefs that are born of more faith than thought processes. However, in this matter we can agree to disagree (ATD). In all other things pertaining to our threatened land, full speed ahead!
