Ok, please, let me get this clear in my head now- I am wrong and you are right, and I have read Lebell's buried website where he answered questions in a rather authoratative state and that was OK because even though he mentioned the Bible on ocassion, he didn't demand it was true. But he had his disciples sitting at his feet none the less as he dolled out his views, and it was HOW he said things that made the difference.
OK.

I am not being sarcastic here!
Lebell, on the other hand was pretty damned caustic in his reply to me with his ice cold replies to my questions. I"I am here because I choose to be". That wasn't partonizing or sarcastic?
Now I am supposed to change MY attitude to conform to your views because you guys are right and I am wrong. tecoyah is disgusted with me, Lebell freezes me out, Sexymama asks me to justify my coming to tfp.
Who has the attitude problem?
I believe what I believe. You believe what you believe. By your actions and response to me you have made it abundantly clear that what I believe and how I believe it is not acceptable to you.
And with Lebell being a Trusted Super Moderator, others are of course going to take their cue from him.
Is this because I dared to criticize the Catholic church? If I recall, Lebell, didn't you study with the Jesuits? Or am I mistaken?
Well, be that as it may, I have studied religion and philosophy at least as much as you have, Lebell, and probably more.
I will agree to disagree with you people, but for all the tolerance and love and open-mindedness you claim to espouse, I will say the only one who has demonstrated any real semblance of it is SecretMethod70. Thank you for that.

Please, if you will- I asked before for someone to explain to me what it meant to Judge another and there was no response.
Could I get that explanation, please?

Also,tecoyah, if you would be so kind, could you explain to me what a "truly open mind" is? I am being serious. I would very much like to know.
If I am being closed minded, then I need to know how to change that. And since I don't know what I don't know, I will need to know what to change to. Please help me, if you would be willing.
Thank you.
