I'd like to thank the Lord Jesus...

No, you said, I hold my opinions to be absolute truths and that is the definition of hate and bigotry.
It may be bigoted in the Webster sense in that I firmly believe in what I'm am saying and will not stray from it but it is in no way the definition for hate.

You misread my point, or I didn't state it cleanly enough. Either way, I covered the bases in my last response.

And again, I have no problem with your perspective really. I even respect your willingness to stick to your guns, even if I find your closedmindedness curious. As I said before, I understand why you feel the way you do, my interest was giving you different things to think about and consider.

I should be clear (again) that I find entertainment in exchanges such as this, which is why I'm willing to participate. If you find yourself particularly troubled or upset by it, there's no sense in us carrying forward. If you wish to, I suspect you'll find either (or both) 'vrbryant' and myself willing to continue the conversation either in this thread, or over PM. Let's just keep it civil.

Ashland, our differences on this specific issue aside, I wish more people could make their points, disagree (even with some intensity) on an issue, and still maintain a healthy dialog about the issue. It's one of the biggest things I want to promote here. People are going to have differences, but I think it's worth them talking them out. Or if they can't, just ignoring one another will work too, lol. But anyone here can take anyone else to task without fear of reprisals. If you get into it with a user, a mod, an admin, or the mod brother of an admin (lol), it's no different than anyone else, nor should it be.

Like I said before, I respect your willingness to stand in there and say your piece, particularly given that it was vrbryant, and then to some degree myself, that you had issue with. lol, I actually gave you positive reputation twice during the process. Anyway, hope you'll stick around. I still don't agree with your take on Vince, and I doubt you buy mine, but I don't see that as being a problem in the slightest.

So the two of you are brothers? Go figure.
