I see now how I was wrong. Not in what I was saying, but in how I was saying it. I was indeed fueled by a misguided passion. I should have stopped at the first sign of discomfort. As always, the Lord has shown me something important in this. I want us to get along. I hope you can forgive me, and don't think too badly of me. I promise never to do such a thing again. I think it wise to delete this thread, I just want all the people I angered to get a chance to read it (I also won't return for awhile, lest I be tempted by some smug reply, as I was before).
I also think it wise to delete the "God and the universe..." thread as well. Most people wanted that done anyway, so I'm sure no one will object to that. It is indeed an embarrassment. But if you feel that it should kept up as an example, or some such, I understand. But I think it better that you add something to the forum guidelines in respect to this (because I did indeed check those before I made that thread... most forums have a rule about discussing faith, for reasons made apparent here). Again, I have no ill feelings toward any of you. Peace.
