Excuse me for butting in, but so far, nothing I have seen posted here has moved me to try to share, from my own understanding, what people may be experiencing in these actions, or why they may do them. I do see several people posting who have at various times said they wanted to understand, in private communications, what they do not understand about what people experience.... and who, time after time, really chose debate, ridicule, and attempted de-evangelization over the possibility of understanding.

My friends, if you really wanted to understand, by now you could have made it your business to understand. This kind of communication.... it just makes one want to be a careful steward of the energy it would take to respond to any of this seriously and with some care. Is that what you want?

OK, go back to it, that's all I wanted to say.
