The first is about "love". As I said in the announcement, I don't mean today's idea of something that's always warm and fuzzy. I mean Biblical love, God's love. There is a popular quasi-religious phrase I'm sure you're familiar with, that being "God is love". Even if it were true that one could describe God in one phrase, the phrase "God is love", based on the authority of Scripture could only be half of the phrase. It should be "God is love; God is justice". Or it might better be said that God's love is tempered by justice, while God's justice is constrained by love. I don't think that anyone can review all of God's acts in the Bible and come away with the idea that expressing love is somehow a weakness.
The second of my disagreements has to do with fighting for right, and who can best do that. You don't know anything about me, so you'll just have to accept my word when I tell you that I've known a lot of fighting men. Lived, played and fought with a whole passel of true fighting men. And I have to tell you, GWB, the very best of these fighting men were the most polite and courteous men you could ever meet ... right up to the moment it was time to fight. Based on personal experience, I simply don't agree that one has to be constantly confrontational to be an effective fighter.
I've read some of your comments on the main forum, and I'm sort of hoping you stick around over here - as long as you're not constantly smiting hip and thigh... :)
It was working pretty well before, with the apparently really nasty comments removed by moderator. I always wished I knew what those comments were :-).
