I am sorry that you did not have a God-fearing father. It appears that you are still in need of one.

You don't know Jack...or my father for that matter. Rigidity is probably one of the greatest evils..hubris...Pride goeth before the fall...etc., etc.

I do find it interesting that someone supporting morality is so much in favor of profanity.

Where, oh wise and rigid one, do you find me supporting profanity???? Hmmmm?

Oh, you can't, because I didn't...I simply suggested that you get over it. I repeat the suggestion now, with the addition of why don't you concentrate on the really important things here...you know...Terri, the right to live, etc.

You began the personal attacks. I have merely pointed out ideas and issues that you find problematic.

You berate rigidity. However, rigidity is actually a wonderful virtue when it comes to standing up for what is right. You seem to suggest that it is prideful. Nothing could be further from the truth. Moses was incredibly "rigid" on matters of principle, but the Bible says he was the most meek of men.

The highest and chief end of man is to glorify God. That is what truly matters in this life. It matters little if you save a thousand lives, but do so with a hateful and immoral spirit. If you wish to support moral causes, why not act in a moral manner. I suppose that requires a certain amount of rigidity doesn't it.

Your activism will never amount to anything if it is conducted in the absence of a fiercely consistent personal morality.
