Verne,
I'm visiting from that thread up there ^.
Hope you don't get the boot, but your post does have the relentless pace sometimes associated with rants. It's not that I disagree with the content or style, either -- just noting what you seem aware enough of yourself, and recognizing the style from some of my own expression.
Which brings me to the point, and I truly mean this -- why do you care?
I'm not saying you shouldn't --- I'm saying what is it about some of these ideas we get through media that matter so much to us? You seem to be saying he contradicts principles of your faith, and implicitly that would seem to devalue your faith. But is the external, media expression the real conflict, or is it typical of something close to home?
Hey, I'm not trying to do therapy on you ... I'm the one needing a frontal lobotomy ... but I really wonder if you have any insight on why something so distant from you or I sometimes matters so much. ?
