I do not believe you engage others with honest intent.....
You do not seem to look for enlightenment, learning, of another POV, no, you passively aggressively try and manipulate under a pretext, that you do NOT adhere too, re: your own critique.

You see things how you WANT to see them, how you NEED to see them, and cast out your net to gather others, yet fault others for their beliefs, actions, in sharing and believing their own POV/beliefs
You say Jesus was, yet you appear to discard, deny, or overlook other teachings by him....
You are very selective in your reasoning, and either fail to see your complicity in the dividing of folk (by design by others, perhaps?) or so deep within your need to be on the "right team" you have lost any perspective, you might have had in questioning that (motives) about yourself, that you charge others with....

I can't answer that, I can only pose a question....
You seem sincere, tho I would say lost to reality.
Again, not my reality, that to is subject to the same influences you are visited by/with....
I merely read your statements, on multiple topics and post, and that is my conclusion.
It is sad, for when any of us do this, it renders us to a point of no consequences, ignored, like the little boy who cried wolf.

Offered freely, no expectations, unsolicited, worthless, perhaps.

I'm going to need help with that last paragraph... Not sure what you meant by any of it or if you were just trying to be philosophical... On second thought, don't bother - thanks.

Suffice it to say, once again a posting has been taken on a tangent.... oh well.

The fact you don't understand should be concerning to you. Think about it.

Hhmmmmmm.......

Perhaps I am not making myself clear, let me try to spell it out.
The very thing you find troubling with mega churches, etc, is their manipulation.
The message is only an avenue to their own gain.
Be it anti gay, etc, it used to garner support so the leadership of that mega church can enrich their own personal gain.
Ditto for corporations.
Ditto for Trump.
Ditto for republicans.
Ditto for any person or group you disagree with in their belief and mission.
Even me, as I project  

Why.......????

Because in your mind, you are absolute authority......
You have solved all the riddles intellectually, for us, thank you.
Now that you, the great Oz, has spoken, you act like Trump, with your LOL's, and claims of topic jack, etc...
With a smug dismissive attitude, I can only imagine, er, I mean project, you like Trump does with his wrinkled up puss face of arrogance, as he shakes his head side to side, only needs to put his little fingers in his ears to make the picture complete.

Maybe you just want us to coddle you, is that it?  
Or, maybe you should not "project" yourself, unless you can stand the heat in the kitchen.

I will say this, you are very entertaining

Oh pshaw - you're gonna make me blush!  I'm glad that you're entertained.  But I can't hold a candle to most of the others (including you) on this little forum
