Re: If you spot it, you got it.

I have heard some quotes from "A Course in Miracles" and that was one of them. Are you familiar with this course?

I've heard of it, but haven't read or participated in the course.

I think these are basic rules of public discourse. It's particular important to remember that online we cannot see facial expressions or body language. So often our typed posts can seem harsher than we intend.

It's a good policy to go a little further in this medium with courtesy and respect.

There's a reason, too, that it was not considered polilte to discuss religion at a public function. But, I think we still can here.

I think we can even do so passionately, so long as respect each other as fellow human beings.

And we should also be mindful that this is not our house, and our host requires this of us, and will throw us out should overstep too far.

Thanks for your reply...
