Sorry…… I get it. In your world view……….Ignorance is the ultimate excuse/reason/rationale/plea/reason for mercy/respect and life. If ever I need help, legal or otherwise I hope you’re available or have some good connections.
Another chance. Could you explain, using theological, definable terms, your understanding of what Christianity, Pentecostal, religious, spiritual, Catholic, Protestant mean. I have the feeling you don’t know what these words mean especially the way you loosely throw them into the discussion. Excuse the spelling and sin tax. You know there is a cost to sin.
I really don't want to have a flamewar on my own substack so I'll probably wind up deleting this thread. But if you're going to troll me here, I'm going to take you apart. You don't like my writing? That's fine. I just scrolled your Activity; your writing sucks, Don.
".... not be what you've written so far." You meant "by." You're an ellipsis jockey so nothing you write makes sense by itself and you misspell common words. I had to scroll a fair deal before I got enough context to sus your worldview and it eventually became obvious that you're a Trump supporter and some flavor of Christian fundamentalist.
Like all Christian Trump supporters, you'd make Jesus weep. Love your enemies? Oh _hell_ no, you pick gratuitous fights with people who don't agree with you. Disagreement is fine, but do you make an argument for it? Of course not; you just piss and moan that the world isn't the way it was when you were growing up. Entitlement _drips_ off of you even as you attempt to criticize the entitlement of others. You wonder why I'm not a Christian? Well, there are deep philosophical reasons, but "Christians" like yourself are also a big part of it.
I’m working on it, Inspired practice. Syntax will come with practice and you are proof that I’m not that difficult to understand in spite of being a bit primitive in my skills. Enough for now, I need to brush my teeth.
Well said ! Spelling, never was my strong point, but if you could have seen my penmanship, script, left handed, pen, inkwell, worse than spelling. However, In every other way, Rhodes Scholar all over my DNA. In midlife, I saw Bill Clinton as the answer, but hidden in the bushes was George. Me being old Connecticut, the Bushes were always suspect.
As far as “religion” goes, your lack of tolerance explains a lot. I’m not psychologist, but many would agree, that therein buried deep in your heart are the seeds of hate for people of religion and especially the God of the Jews. And…..that has been the case for thousands of years.
My role in all of this? The IPad is a resource that has set free the genius in many of us. So……I’m just exercising my creative powers, looking for inspiration to couple with many years of life. So don’t be offended, dialogue is healthy.
You came onto my substack to lob a driveby at my writing when you admit you're not exactly the best at it (and your syntax could stand some work, too). But despite this, a Rhodes Scholar all over your DNA, LOL. A veritable legend in your own mind ;)
I'm a theological non-cognitivist, bro. An ignostic. I think the very concept of "God" is incoherent and self-contradictory and it doesn't matter which tradition you're talking about.

Rick…he has talent. Wasted it beating on a dead horse and now has a day job. You…..? Talent?……….not be what you’ve written so far.
