Do you mean religiously or by heritage? Both Robin and I are Christian by heritage (birth); neither of us is Christian religiously. But that you got that wrong one way or the other is irrelevant. Your "note" was also in error, and I corrected you. > Apparently you believe your "explanation" is enough to > clarify Robin's representations. I didn't give any "explanation" of anything. I quoted one of Robin's posts from this morning in which he expresses remorse for his delusive grandiosity. Say: "Oh, sorry, Robin, I guess I should read your posts before accusing you of not having this or that concept. Also, I apologize for continually forgetting that you emphatically do not represent yourself as a Christian." (I won't ask you to apologize for your oft-repeated mistaken assumption concerning my religious heritage because I get a big kick out of seeing you look so pompously stupid.) > While these may be comfort to his former "students" this is not > relevant to his misdeeds.
