The point is that some people have beliefs which take them out of the broad mainstream of our culture

BELIEFS...? Or garbled statements?

Would you say that Barack Obama believes that the US Constitution is 2,000 years old (20 centuries)? Or did Obama mangle his words?

Would you say that Barack Obama believes there are 59 states (he visited 57 and hoped to visit the other 2)? Or did Obama mangle his words?

Would you say that Barack Obama meant to say "Israel is a good friend of Israel"? Or did Obama mangle his words?

Would you say that Barack Obama meant to declare war on privacy? Or piracy?

I’m sure that your mother told you as part of the development of your character something like: “just because johnny does something wrong, it doesn’t mean you can emulate him.”

Further, this isn’t a ‘mangling of words’ by using the wrong word (piracy vs. privacy) or using the wrong date of the Constitution’.

However inarticulate he man is, its clear to most rational people that he was explaining some of his belief system. You can’t say something like “all other mainstream Protestant denominations are going to hell” and say this is just mangling of words or using the wrong data.

The consignment of all ‘unbeleivers’ to Hell (or death or dhimmi status in the case of radical Islamists)is such a common tenet of some sects and religions that it is a basic to their belief systems and actions.

I simply don’t know why you’d try to defend statements like that—unless you believe they are correct in YOUR religious belief system??? Do you stand for those ideas.
