You know, in all this threading, NO ONE has asked me to explain or illuminate my definition FROM WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT I WAS SAYING!!!

I DO NOT BELIEVE HE WAS A COWARD!

MY POINT WAS THAT WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO ESPOUSE A CERTAIN OPINION, YOU HAD BETTER BE PREPARED FOR SOMEONE TO NOT LIKE IT! I JUST MEANT THAT IF THE BOOK EDITOR WAS TO REALLY PRINT A FACT, (AND I MADE UP THE ARMY STUFF FOR AN EXAMPLE) HE WOULD BE FOOLISH TO CONVINCE HIMSELF THAT HE WOULD NOT BE CHALLENGED!

That was what I meant; see how easy it is when you allow someone the brief chance to explain themselves?

P.S. All that statement was meant to do was point out that the person with the "dammit all, who cares" attitude (who made some VERY hurtful remarks about my faith) was in no way prepared to explain his opinion... he simply blasted a dear and precious part of my life with no basis in fact whatsoever.
