I'm sure you are a sincere and very good person, and I appreciate your concern. I don't get involved in these freerepublic discussions because I am looking for any new enlightenment or searching for myself, or an understanding of God. I am comfortable in my beliefs. I do not try to convince anyone that my beliefs are correct or not. What I do here is try and understand why others believe the way they do. In doing this, I have to, of course, sometimes present my own personal beliefs in order to more better join in conversations. There are times that I ask pointedly leading questions, because that is the way I sometimes get information. I do thank you for being civil, and not resorting to name calling, twisted logic or word games.

Ah so.

You are more than welcome.

Please excuse me if I over respond.

I enjoy such opportunities to think out loud through my fingers . . . sharpening my own awareness of the issues, parameters etc.

You are welcome to sharpen on my stone. Thanks, if I may, return the honor to your stone.
