Thank you eveareal and Pah for intervening. I sure know I needed to get away for a little bit.
I really enjoyed yesterday's celebration, BTW, so if anyone might have been concerned that participating in such a heated debate ruined my day, it didn't. I let it go.
I also apologize to anyone that I may have caused grief. I realize this is a volatile subject, and even though I have certain opinions about it, I worry that my choice of expression upset some Christian friends here at RF. Since I consider these Christian friends near and dear to my heart, I feel terrible that you were caused so much grief.
I'll try to be less careless in my wording in the future. I promise to be more considerate toward our Christian friends here concerning topics such as these. It's early in the morning here in Illinois, and this was the first thing I wanted to do.............extend the olive branch. I'm sorry, everyone. :foryou:
Peace,
Mystic
