Dear SkyPilot,

“Apparently, you do - because you keep responding to me.”

It's easy enough to jot down a few lines, but I'm certainly uninterested in doing the heavy lifting you apparently have done.

“You are against people like me, Rev Billy Graham, and all Evangelical Christians. I got that Loud and Clear sitetest.”

Nah, I love Billy Graham, and respect his religious views, even if I don't entirely agree with them. But he didn't leave the True Church over a misunderstanding of the scandals that erupted a few years ago, and now needs psychologically to retroactively justify that decision by continuing to misinterpret and distort the events of recent years.

“Nope. That is not what you said. Go back and find it.”

More work than I desire.

“Of course, a former priest who comes out in an article and says McCarrick is gay - that isn't evidence either because you want the videos. That is the only thing that will convince you.”

Video evidence would be persuasive, yes. But I'd accept direct testimony. The problem is, folks who have been willing to go on the record, publicly, with their names out there, have been few and far between. For everyone I see that has been willing to publicly say this with his name attached, I'm told there are 10 more “in the closet” who will anonymously make the same accusations.

That makes me puke.

And then, when I look at the occasional one who gives his name to the accusation, the witness doesn't appear terribly credible.

So, no, the testimony of a small number of incredible witnesses combined with the alleged testimony of an alleged larger number of completely anonymous witnesses is not adequate to me to even publicly post an accusation against a cardinal of the Church.

At that level, it's low gossip.

'As Ronald Reagan said, 'There you go again!'"

"Spoken like Walter Mondale."

“Now, you sound like a Democrat.”

Again and again, all you can really do is insult.

Well, it's been real. It's been fun. But has it been real fun?

You can have the last word.

Sigh.

I don't want the "last word" sitetest.

I want what Christ would want.

What He would want is that you and I agree that belief in Him saves people from Hell.

"Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and broad is the
road that leads to destruction, and many
enter through it. But small is the gate
and narrow the road that leads to life,
and only a few find it"

Matthew 7:13,14
