Actually, Dew is not doing anything of the kind. She is not the one doing the "determining." She is allowing people to define themselves and accepting them for who they say they are. If I say, "I'm a Christian," she is not going to respond by saying, "No, you're not." (Unlike someone we all know.)

Ummm....I said their beliefs are bigoted. Your reading comprehension skills need work.

I do not determine who is a Christian....the people declaring they are Christians do that.

I am not tolerant of many things. I'm not tolerant of the belief that women should be in the pews, not the pulpit. I'm not tolerant of people who bully the weak. I am not tolerant of drivers who make a left turn from the right hand lane. I am not tolerant of raisin cookies.

Ahhh....your reading comprehension skills are excellent!

Sure you do. Your standards are simply different than mine. In your mind, one is a Christian simply by claiming it rather than actual doctrine or belief. And you say that any opinion otherwise is bigoted.

Of course you're intolerant. You just choose to tolerate different things.

Your apology means nothing when you combine it with a put down. You really have some serious issues to overcome.

You have never properly apologized because your the kind of human who does not take responsibility for their behaviors. Anytime a person tacks on a put down or pointing the finger as you have done in both of your supposed apologies...says they really have no apology to offer.

You have only offended yourself here. I find you a very unimpressive human and unimpressive humans don't offend me. Only people that I hold in high regard could ever offed me.

Time to wise up.

A man who doesn't accept an apology,and in fact responds with hostility needs real professional help. Maybe some medication will help. Your responses speak loudly to your lack of character- I will put you on my no contact list. That's what I do with hostile people that seem to have a screw loose. You can respond and get the last word in- but I won't be able to read it- for which I am thankful!

Uh, huh.

Any other comments, admonishments or complaints? I'm sensing unhappiness. Have you thought about going to the agape love thread to get a hug from Ronkon? It would do you good.

I'm not unhappy about anything. I do wish you'd be more tolerant, though. Let me know if you need any more help.

Unsolicited "help" from a guy who thinks little kids are full of sin, Anne Frank is in hell and who considers the aptly-named Slick a smart guy.

My goodness, you can be a riot, Viz!

I don't recall ever specifically commenting on where Anne Frank is.
