"There you go again with this "any" business. With certain of you guys, it's all or none. Everything's digital, on or off. Either He elevates her above all mankind, or he shows no affection for her. Either she's to be venerated, or we loathe her."

Uh, before you go on a rant against me, perhaps you'd be so kind as to actually check out the post to which I was responding. To wit:

"Could that explain why there doesn't seem to be even one affectionate sounding communique between Jesus and his mother?"(emphasis mine)

In other words, geezer, is was one of 'you guys' who went the all or nothing route, not me. Care to launch a rant against him?

You know, at one time, I was a regular participant on these threads. I left because, frankly, I found the hatred, animosity, and ill-will eminating from the other side to be literally spiritually harmful. I started to view all Protestants through the prism of my experience here on FR.

Since then, I've found it best to visit only occasionally and to keep my visits to around two to three weeks. Posts such as yours confirm the wisdom of this practice.

Sorry. First of all, I made the mistake of lumping y'all together with your digital cohort, SoothingDave (as he so often does with certain of us). Then, to make matters worse, I made the mistake of expecting you would have quoted any significant parts of the post to which you were replying. I should have instead read the post myself. In fact, I'd intended to do so prior to posting my reply, but got sidetracked by something else, never to return. Mea culpa.

hatred, animosity, and ill-will

Whoa. Such thin skin.

See ya.
