It would seem you're determined to argue. You'll have to do so alone.
I stated my beliefs. I pondered the possibilities. I didn't negate or belittle your position, or your faith.
However, you show little tolerance for my beliefs, such as when you stated: "I used to believe in the ultimate truth but I am so much older now and I can see for me that was a limited view."
Am I to infer that my beliefs are immature compared to yours? That my beliefs are limited compared to yours?
I also refrained from using sarcasm, which has already been determined by Dr. Bob to be unsupportive of others. However, you decided to use sarcasm in your response to me when you responded to my statement that you have the right to believe whatever you choose, "thank you for being so gracious."
It seems clear to me that by resorting to sarcasm, & by implying my beliefs are inferior to your more mature & enlightened ones, you have intended to put me & my faith down.
I certainly feel put down.
I suppose the final verdict is up to Dr. Bob. I've certainly been blocked for doing the same to others.
But as far as arguing further with you, I choose not to. If you post to me in the future with what appears to be an invitation to argue, I will decline to respond.
Shalom, Dena
