I just wanted to briefly point towards the same weakness of the RC argument that have existed from the beginnings of that time when the Latin church first began to heap upon themselves claims of authority so extensively unbridled...it eventually led them to sanction the murder of significant numbers of individuals.
But dearie, you gave me the same 'ol party line, just all dolled up with other distractions. I must say you are quite skillful with it.
Have you any idea of how often those whom oppose that party line I'm referring to are rudely insulted on this forum, much more directly and personally than by default, you yourself took offense?
Perhaps you do know.
But that's still not enough to allow myself to be led down the same primrose paths you may have traveled yourself. I see it for what it is --- a highly polished twisted perversion of the Gospel. I simply won't go.
I'm the 'you' in that statement. You have explicitly told me that your approach to my time, care, and thought is to "simply cast scorn" on them.
I don't say that, I, personally, deserve better. But I do know what to do when the gift of my best is trashcanned.
Peace be with you. Goodbye.
