Quite a number of Proties are NOT going to roll over and play dead just because RC's make some pronouncement about their construction on reality.
We feel just as duty bound before God to speak up for the construction on spiritual and Christian reality which we feel is MORE kosher, fitting, accurate, Scriptural, Christ-like etc.
We will not always wrap every word and phrase in 12 layers of foam and rabbit fur--bending over backwards to try and insure that every nuance has little likelihood in offending thin-skinned RC's with big chips on their shoulders.
NOT going to happen.
Deal with it.
We don't get hyper and foam at the mouth every time some RC poster rants, rails and accuses or throws some baiting thing in our faces any more. We may respond pointedly--even forcefully--but I haven't seen such with rancor in a long time. Maybe I've just missed it. But I think even Dr. E and I have been startlingly and sometimes sadly and overly quite mellow.
Mellow is OK when it's motivated by Love and consideration, kindness, compassion.
But AVOID mistaking it for kowtowing to a view of spiritual and Scriptural reality which we often still find startlingly horrid in this or that way or list of ways. Our mellowness does not imply growing agreement. It implies growing kindness and Christian preferring one another AS UNTO CHRIST because it pleases HIM.
It still appears that several RC's--perhaps a dozen or more even--feel duty bound to wail, whine, puff up their lips and generally throw dust in the air because we don't either agree with them or defer to them in exceedingly submissive, deferent tones. Tough tacos. Not going to happen any more than the reverse is going to happen. Get real.
My use of MAGICSTERICAL is now well known to apply across the board to ANY group of spiritual oversight leaders. ANY--IN ANY GROUP. Taking exclusive offense at the implications of the term for the RC examples of the magicsterical is . . . childish, petty, . . . missing the point wholesale . . . or worse, claiming that RC folks
GET REAL!
GUESS WHAT--RC FOLKS ARE !NOT! IMMUNE TO BEING HUMAN!
Sigh.
