The spirit I am up against

You will notice that this person is shocked that someone does not agree with her politics and doubly shocked that a Catholic calls a non-Catholic a "heretic". Such a sheltered life she must have had.

PS: you have all the space you want to whine about me in your LJ or in fandom_wank and the like, but you are not from now on welcome to waste my space to do so. The warning is on record, and your charges against me are so wrong as to be in bad faith. End of story.

fpb, I really think you need to let this issue go for a while. It is becoming a constant rehash of the same arguments on both sides, and I think it's not doing your temper any good at all. This is clearly an issue that is very emotional for you. You are putting up a big sign that says "This is my button, please push it to make me angry."

Your habit of posting new entries with regards to comments elsewhere also gets you into trouble, I think. It just feels very "name and shame" to me. For one thing, I don't think it's very charitable. In how it affects you, I also think it does you harm, both in making you look petty, and in pointing people straight to trouble. Dwelling on it is not helping. Remember St. Paul's advice to the Philippians: "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things."

Just some friendly advice. *hugs*

I'm an atheist Lutheran. What sort of heresy is that?

*snort* I do always find it strangely amusing when folks get upset about religious groups with the guts to NOT meal-mouth the differences.

Kind of like my Protestant cousins who go pale at the mention of some Church policy, and say "THAT is not in the Bible!"

...

Ah well.
