My apologies to caww, I just now saw your earlier post to me, thanks to the link to it via boatbums. You are correct, perhaps I would be more comfortable somewhere else.
As for following all along, let me reassure you, boatbums, that I have newly rejoined the community here at FR in the last week, didn’t get approval from JimRob for several days, and am now in the process of re-familiarizing myself to how things work here. I have forgotten how to do the html tags somewhat, but I’ll get there. I used to post frequently probably 4 or 5 years ago, but life interrupted, so I went on “sabbatical”, so to speak.
I found this thread when it showed up repeatedly on the “recent posts” section from the Homepage. I willingly admit I skipped a large portion of the 2500+ posts after I read the first few pages, so my bad for jumping in on a conversation. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t like seeing either Protestants or Catholics bashed, and it’s been going in both directions the last several pages, at least in my opinion. So perhaps the love “suddenly” showed up because of the Holy Spirit, as I felt moved by Him to post. I pray that the discourse remain congenial for future partakers in this discussion, as that (again, IMHO) is when we will all learn the most from each other and each of our different perspectives.
May our Heavenly Father bless each one of us, and let us give Him thanks for all of our blessings, big and small.
I, for one, appreciated your post, and this one.
May God bless you as well.
Take care...
