The fact is I am losing patience with trying to engage with people who do not live in the same world that I do, who speak an entirely different language, who think like machines. (I am not a machine!) This being the case, real communication is impossible.

I very strongly agree.

IMHO, only when third party undecideds are lurking is it worth the effort to engage a poster with an upside down worldview.

Thank you so much for your wonderful essay-posts, dearest sister in Christ!

An "upside down worldview" indeed. An inversion of reality....

I do agree with your statement, dearest sister in Christ. It's just sometimes, I get a little frustrated trying to engage the upside-down worldview people in rational discourse.

I'm not here to tell people what to think, but to show them where to look. But these folks won't even go look.... It's as if they are hermetically sealed against any new idea that does not conform to their iron-clad presuppositions. Sigh....

Thank you so very much for your kind words of support, dearest sister in Christ!

"IMHO, only when third party undecideds are lurking is it worth the effort to engage a poster with an upside down worldview"

Although decidedly not undecided in this matter,this lurker is very appreciative of your efforts here.All of you.

The importance of this issue cannot be overstated.This is big,very big.

1 Corinthians 14:12 "...seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church."

I don't know if any of you are aware of this but to this little black duck you folks,over the last decade or more have been a great blessing in that very thing 1 Cor 14:12 talks about.

Also...

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:10,11).......Is ample evidence to me that God meets us where we are....and helps us.Thanks guys!

God bless you
