Look FMF, you and I and the pope can agree on lots of things, but you shouldn't be so pugnacious about the minutiae of this issue. The differences in how we say things isn't the issue.
The fundamental differences in our world-views is preventing us from finding common ground. You, me and the pope agree that there are far too many children being brought into the world by unqualified people that breed like rabbits.
Our disagreement is about the cause of, and solution for the problem. Because of your background in the faith, and your subsequent rejection of it, I believe causes you to see my arguments as a threat to your world view. No matter what I say you'll disagree and get bogged down in arguing over trivialities not related to the underlying thread of thought concerning the main topic of discussion.
And you drag me into it most every time. 😉 I swear, my motive is the tearing down of obstacles that hinder understanding, not in erecting barriers.
Believe it or not, I give everyone posting in this forum the benefit of the doubt and assume the same of them no matter what they say or believe. But I'm nobody's fool, there are evil people in the world hell bent on the destruction of the innocent.
