see - were talking - group hug
Mom has more faith in you than I do. I can't draw you close to Christ and if you were a Christian that would be about the first thing you'd know. Give us your testimony and we'll decide for ourselves.
Rev, I have never personally attacked you in the first place (although I must respectfully decline the offer of a "group hug". My cat is permitted to hug me all he likes, but Humans I screen carefully).
Think about it a second. If I am convinced that a given soteriological cosmology is theological crack-cocaine (on the very testimony of the guys who invented the stuff!!), I've not going to hem and haw pretending I think it's made of sugar and spice and everything nice, and the recipe just needs a little tweaking. I'm going to call it poison because that is what I (on good evidence) believe it to be.
Nothing personal, just business.
