I'm not obstinate. I genuinely believe that you position is way too broad to be of any genuine help. I think you define worship in an inaccurate way when you want to accuse people of treat Obama as a god. U really need to be very precise in such a serious accusation.

You are a character. Worship is what the whole battle between heaven and hell is all about---i.e., who gets it and for what. It must be nice to carve out a definition of worship that conveniently excludes leaders of this world and global political movements from any spiritual sphere of concern. This must be how holocausts and genocide and world wars happen, oops, all of a sudden without any warning. > I consider anyone who gives true worship > to > anyone other than God to be very wrong bordering on evil. So do I!!!!! And there is no 'bordering' about it! But I also recognize that well-meaning people do it all the time.

I wish you'd pay attention to my actual arguments, with at least half as much respect as I give yours. I have been very long-suffering with you in an attempt to make my position clear, assuming we have some common ground. I've endured your judgment, mockery and name-calling, even your psychological advice, and yet I keep trying. Even Ricardo hasn't been so obstinate. And he tries. > Find me a genuine example of God-like > worship of Obama then I wil agree with you but in the meantime, wind > back > the rhetoric and wind up the perspective. > I think I could plop two or three right on your lap and you wouldn't even notice. You'd say, "What a jolly good fellow that Obama guy must be, look how they love him". - Bob [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
