Some is not all.

Is this some kind of fuzzy Canadian math?
No siree, it was in response to a post where Standards are said to have no validity whatsoever.

This is true & also very sad.

The majority of Pastors would also lay down thier lives for the sheep as well.

Cool.

As for you finding that you had changed, I have recently found that out for myself as well. And I'm all the better for it.
Thank you both.

This is a very good point. I completely understand it. But to be fair, many of the conservatives mock people who believe in things they call "greasy grace", "sloppy agape", and other doctrinal differences with equal venom.

To me, there's nothing worse than that, yet I don't see those being condemned leaving in droves, but rather, they continue writing about what they believe and why, regardless.

Why can't the conservatives do that?

I was conservative once. I spoke about my beliefs and stood up for them, regardless of how others felt. I didn't degrade anyone, even when I told them I disagreed. They far outnumbered me but I never did leave for that reason. In fact, I'm friends still today with some I met on that forum many years ago...even some I still disagree with.

The problem isn't the discussion, but the personal issues...and I've seen that come from both sides here. I don't feel it's been more one side than the other. Both have played equally in the blame.
