seems to me, that tunesmith , taking just the first 3 lines of his post, understands the issue.
those that voted against the motion, did I think, do so out of conviction of an understanding of the bible, not from bigotry.

joe, glad you think we are reaching some sort of agreement, though a lot of the things you go on to discuss thereon will not be reaching agreement.
I note, too, that you bought the creation accounts into it. I am happy to discuss what I believe are the wrong things you were taught at seminary, but I reckon the thread will soon be closed if that takes off !.

so, musket, what is your "moral compass" and how can you know it hasn't gone south ? !.
