Thread Name: Non-Music: Pope in Toronto: Will he make it?
Subject: RE: Non-Music: Pope in Toronto: Will he make it?
Nope, kat, that wasn't a prejudicial statement. Twice in the last week you have chosen to scold me and then react poorly when I have answered. When you choose to ignore what was said, and instead spin it of into something else publicly, then that entitles one to react to your words. Words are all we have here.
I am not bulldozing anyone here, folks, and once again I would ask that you read all the words. Words are all we have here. The entire debate started when I objected to the painting of a man's entire life with broad strokes. Go back and read it. I then decided to share some deeply held, personal beliefs to see if it couldn't further understanding. Several among us choose to ignore those words, or accuse me of bulldozing when I shared them. It wasn't me who introduced the bashing of Christianity into the discussion. Want respect for your beliefs? Then show respect for the beliefs of others.
Seems to me that when logic and respectful discourse fail, then some turn to stomping their feet and walking away. I am sorry that it happens that way.
Now..............I must get back to the sources that Peter cites. Damn guy makes me do my homework before I respond.
