For the sake of your learning and to know the situation-I am one of a group of about 30 individuals of various fields in the sciences, which include 3 in the psycho fields, 2 engineers, 2 physicists, 2 medical doctors. 1 bio researcher, 1 archaeologist, 1 geologist and others. I tell you this so you'll know we're not dummies. We've been there, done that. Most are retired or nearly so we have plenty of time to sustain the arguments and rudeness of others. We get into these arguments and and discussions for the sake of others, not our own. OK- lets get at it.

This is pretty damn conceited. If you are part of a group. You might be able to recognize this board as a group. As such, we acknowledge one another from time to time. I want touchy to realize this is most disconcerting to me that you cannot recognize the comment for what it was. Furthermore, Although easily taken as a challenge I will assume this is more in a broader context at EVERYBODY. Nothing I have written to you would warrant a personal challenge. Be more careful with phrases like "let's go" or "let's get at it". This isn't the nicest things in the world to say, but I have to give my impression "Oh" was obviously taken it a manner it was never intended. Don't go there.I have never seen anything you have written to my satisfaction. Meaning, We'd need to spend days simply defining terms, if you were to engage me personally I would have you know I would only agree "let's go" upon pain of blood and death were we to define terms. I am choosing to believe you are simply upset, which is not an uncommon occurrence at any forum. Long on claims is easy, back it up is another story entirely. Refusing to establish a case is not always the best call. That is very narrow and dare I say conceited, usually the kind of conceit the depths we scarcely know. I just wish that any of us would also recognize our own limitations. Whatever system you have uncovered and understanding you lay claim to. It derived from somewhere. We would spend considerable time citing an almost insane amount of passages from the New Testament to help establish where these thoughts have their origins in the first place. Plus, I am here to learn has been made clear. You might want to inverse your stance, with a little less conceit (or not).

  How about laughing at someone else's comment.  That cross you seem to be bear becomes awful handy , but now I am just inviting a scolding.

   Back to a more of your group and the others:

  From the  21st "Civil law is a "caging" of the animal drives in it's sociology by application of police forces (external). There is no authority over one another in true Christianity" 

  From the 30th  "We can tell you for a sureity --the US government is not going to like us and neither is the Pope, nor any other authority on the planet."

  This is the internet! What are you saying ? 

    Does this revolution need a slogan ? Something like 'down with power' or 'power to the people' ? Did you come up with one (even in fun) ?
