OK. If I'm wrong, then you tell me: how do you define "deviancy"? What do you want done about it?

I keep hearing over and over that our "tolerance" of sin "caused" the attack--or, excuse me, God "permitted" it on account of these sins, or tolerance, or whatever. (To me, the difference between saying "God caused it" and "God permitted it" is mere hairsplitting). What do you want done about this?

Since 9/11 I have been trying--in vain--to get a straight answer to these questions. The more you evade, the more suspicious I get. I will consider your suggestions of what we should do, if you ever get around to telling me what they are.

I never evaded the first thing. First you attribute to me things I never said (AND with your last post have just done the same thing again). Then you say you are "frightened" - a call to the other Laeodicians to come to your aid. Now you are saying I have "evaded" something, giving you reason to be "suspicious". WOW! What a ccomplete basket case you are. Making up and atributing quotes never written. Claiming frightfulness over these, then turning to requiring me to define something (again, an infinitismal part of my comments) and that you are suspicious. What may be your self worship has left you no access to your intellect, has it? Sad, really...

First, "deviance" is not mine to define in this case. Similar to the Supreme Court definition of pornography of "knowing it when I see it", you know it also on some deep hidden level that you have blocked from yourself. But even more than your opinion, is what God has spoken to on the subject. I know that this likely "frightens" you even more because this will not let you assign your judgement (as part of what seems to be your stand for self worship). I never assigned my views of "deviancy", why must you insist that I did?

I never said the first thing about G-d "causing" or "permitting" the attack. Where do you come up with this stuff? Again, your self worship and all empowering judgement will not let you even discuss the subject without going into these emotional crutches. Find a way to get beyond these things and then you may find the possibility of intellectual discourse. You certainly don't have it now. With all due respect, get a clue - then maybe we can have a discussion without resorting to your obstructionist, over-emotional modus operandi. (hint: don't begin attributing things that were never said, try rational intellect rather emotional grasping no matter what you are defending)
