My question, JCB, is whether, per your tag line, those who live in an unholy land are in any way touched and improved by your presence there.
Which was my point in the first place: is anything improved by using a word that has become synonymous with huckster rip off artists and hateful fire and brimstone only preachers? I submit it is not. I want the same improvement JCB claims to want....
I see no justification for attacking someone who is among the more thoughtful and reasonable voices on this forum.
I certainly tried to be thoughtful and reasonable in making my points (until I got totally ticked off) - and for my efforts, I was called light in the loafers. Or, put another way, JCB almost called me a sodomite. This after refusing to acknowledge that I was narrowly talking about the english word sodomite, as it connotes today, in the United States. I was clearly not talking about every Greek and Hebrew translation of that word through world history. Those are very different things. And I would also add that the meaning and usage of catamite is disputed throughout history too.
You would be correct if you countered that even Jesus used insults. Very true. But he saved the insults for those who were so convinced of their own righteousness, the Pharisees, that they were standing between the people and the God who loves them.
Which is ironic, ain't it? Who was acting Pharisaical in this exchange?
You gonna post the content of the PMs you sent me, CE Wright?
Then everyone can see you for real?
