The entire point to Judith Anne's thread from last weekend (see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1997474/posts ) was that she needed to leave because of all the sniping, hurtful, baiting and generally disrespectful postings on the Religion Forum. They were getting in the way of her spiritual peace. You seemed to concur completely with her sentiments. Yet, while your posts here are not the most egregious examples by any means, you manage to emulate that which Judith Anne decried five times by post 15 of this thread!
"Please try again" yourself.
I find your assumptions quite inaccurate.
I doubt I have the capacity to demonstrate that through intellectual discourse. I believe God has to show that level of . . . insight.
RC edifice perceptions are not the only possible constructions on reality. They are also certainly not the only ‘real’ or ‘accurate’ ones.
I’m keenly aware of my own words, tones, attitudes. Those closest to me have commonly volunteered comments that they’ve never met anyone else with more insight into his own stuff, person, personality, motives, attitudes, expressions etc.
However, I’m sure the usual number hereon will believe their own biases vs the truth about me and a number of other things.
It’s very fascinating . . . face to face a classroom full of diverse students have little trouble tuning in on such.
Here . . . it seems to take some special people or else people who’ve traveled a similar road—at the very least—people with a certain sort of attitude, perspective, openness to others, empathy for others beyond their own biases. Fascinating.
