I owe YOU no apology. I wrote precisely what I wrote the first time meaning just what I meant the first time. I added the IN to salve your petulance. I will not apologize for calling your religion an institution, nor will I apologize for identifying the thing you worship an institution. And still you will not answer the question posed because it exposes something you are petrified of seeing.

“I owe YOU no apology.”

Really? Let’s see. You went on:

“I wrote precisely what I wrote the first time meaning just what I meant the first time.”

That means you wrote something that is categorically untrue. I do not worship any institution. For that alone there should be an apology from you for you said something about me that is ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE.

Then you wrote:

“I added the IN to salve your petulance.”

So you consider it petulant for a man to say, “I do not worship any institution” in reply to a false accusation about worshiping an institution? That would mean, if I falsely accused you of worshiping your pastor, or your Bible, or your sect, or your latest car, or your whatever, anything at all, and you flatly denied that you did so it would a petulant comment on your part. Do you even remotely comprehend the absurdity of what you’re saying? Seriously think about what you’re saying for a moment. If anyone here, anyone at all, simply says he doesn’t worship something you falsely accuse them of worshiping you’re saying that person is being petulant. The absurdity of that sort of point of view is astounding.

“I will not apologize for calling your religion an institution,”

You don’t have to. What you should apologize for is falsely saying I WORSHIP an institution when I do not.

“nor will I apologize for identifying the thing you worship an institution.”

The Trinity is not an institution and the Trinity is all I have ever worshiped.

“And still you will not answer the question posed because it exposes something you are petrified of seeing.”

No, I choose not to answer your question because no man who says something so false as you did and refuses to offer even the simplest of apologies has any automatic right to my time in any way he wishes. And the one who must be afraid is the one who can’t simply man up and apologize for stating a falsehood about another man.
