>>>"I forgive you Jim."
A convenient - is somewhat arrogant back-door for you and your buddies away from dealing with the real issues which you have studiously avoided.
You may have meant it as a joke, but it's an attitude I've encountered throughout my life.<<<

It was my impression that you had talked condescendingly to me and attacked my beliefs. I am sorry if I was mistaken about that. Jesus told us to ask the Lord to forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. (I am paraphrasing). I don't want to bicker with you. I forgave you for my benefit. To let go my anger and defuse the situation from my side. I am sorry if it offend you. Hopefully it did not give offense as responding in kind would have.
