Thank you.
(From another middle-american red neck.)
You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words!
Unfortunately, while they don't make as much noise as they used to, apparently there are still such people as I described on this forum. I'm the most reactionary, Theocratic, anti-modern FReeper there is (and I spend most of my time on FR nowadays defending Fundamentalist Protestants and Biblical inerrancy) but they take one look at my screen name and assume I'm an "Insider."
That’s OK. People look at my name and see “mason.”
As in my name comes from the murderous traitor in masonic lore; Birchers don’t like masons, either.
FWIW, I picked my name because it is a parable of the “we all are” killers of Jesus Christ. I use it to remind myself of my own sins.
In general, I enjoy your posts. disagree with your theology, but that’s between you and God. (Plus, I’m of the once saved, always saved, group, so I opine you’re OK, even if you don’t admit it.)
