Well, it is. Protties can be so derogatory about RC beliefs, traditions, practices, it’s tempting to reply in kind. Surely you have felt the same thing, Thou?

Please, by all means. IF you think such a reply has any chance to be edifyingly constructive at some point in time and if you can do it without rule violating personal attack, feel free.

Vigorous exchanges are wonderful, to me—very real—current—maybe even more alive.

My church is NOT my relationship with God and certainly NOT MY GOD!

I see plenty wrong with it in a variety of respects. I doubt any outsider could be harder on it than I am.

However, if an outsider or onlooker’s stark provokative even assaultive comments about my church cause me to see a bit of truth I hadn’t seen before—fine with me. The cost is minimal to free.

AS I’ve said repeatedly . . .

I INVITE EARNEST CHRISTIANS

who feel genuinely led to do so—to post every bit as forcefully as I do—using satire, mocking—whatever could be remotely construed as redemptive—toward helping me see through my blind spots.

Many folks in my past have done so to redemptive effect, for me.
