Church's role was to 'propose, not impose'

::No categorisaton was made nor atempted by me, I didn't assume what your present "category" is but only suggested what you seem to have abandoned. The thought behind it is that it seems to me that there is certain kind of inertia leading fourth one who abandones something distancing him further from his previously held position. This inertia in my opinion has to be scrutinised for it's driven not by positive concernes but by negative ones.
What has triggered my post was your quite bold and negative statements of certain christian concepts without letting room for further clarification of the same and without some back up outside of your personal considerations. I hope you won't think less of me for that, after all we do have a strong spiritual foundation and can handle some heat from eachother.

On the contrary, you concluded that I had abandoned the "conservative" position, and then proceeded to shadow box, and I decided that your points didn't seem to engage my post, but rather constituted a standard defense against a standard position which I was not taking; it has nothing to do with whether or not I can take some "heat"; I did not feel attacked or opposed in any way because I did not understand how what you said was a response to what I had written; clearly the problem is two-sided, as I should have been clearer regarding my own position, but I did my best and shall have to leave it at that. If you are terribly interested in resurrecting some sort of dialogue, you might take into consideration my criticism, accurate or not, that you did not seem to engage what I was saying, and be gracious to give it another shot. Unfortunately, if you insist on instead telling me that I do indeed mean to say exactly what you think I mean to say, then the shadowboxing will continue and all I can reasonably do is sit back and watch.

Peace.
