I think I understand. And, it's not a huge problem . . .to me.

It's just that when folks sling arrows about our perspective being insulting, hateful etc . . . one kind of would like the other side to see how things strike us from our perspective on such matters.

THanks for your kind and understanding reply.

Would you say,

"Baloney?"

or

Guffaws to the Max?

Or is it only hurtful when Catholics say things like that? It's not the perspective I object to, but the manner of expressing it, as though only a fool would disagree and those who do should be laughed at for their opinions

As far as I'm concerned, to take part in this conversation has not only meant being called a liar, but being condescended to and talked down to, and, worse than that, it has meant enduring gratuitously mean mockery repeated over and over again and then when I protest, being told that it was done out of love or a sense of divine mission.

After I tried to approach each of you gently, you minimized your own offensive language and now complain about offensive language used against you or your viewpoint.

Can we maybe commit ourselves to trying a little harder?
