That's a good episode Granite. I don't believe it's a tantrum, and I do think I was pretty self explanatory in the above post. I just didn't want to walk away from the thread with a sense of "unfinished business". I wanted to speak my mind, and explain an earlier more off the cuff comment.

Feel better Erin?
If you don't like me just leave me alone. Don't try to rally any more troops for an all out assault against me. It's not worth it. If you do, I may have to bring out the terror squad!!!!
I'll further explain myself later tonight. I've got forecasting to do, a car to rent, and a sweet southern barbecue place to go to.

Did the Edge talk about his personal situation publicly? Where? If this is not a public issue needing public rebuke, it should be dealt with privately between the two. Digging into personal matters could be petty and gossip, rather than wanting the good of another.
I thought this was about Zak's credibility. How did Edge man get drawn into the firing line?
What credit is it to a Christian who only treats Christians with respect? Christ hung out with everyone!
Erin, it's pretty sad when the athiests come to my defense. Maybe that tells you something about who is exhibiting the attitude of Christ more... think about it please if you would. If you want to talk privatly, I am open to that. I'll listen.

I am also grieved that the atheists and apostates often are more civil in their relations, even though we tell them they are going to hell and are wrong. I have been defended by Zak and Wick from the slander of my brethren. I have never been told that I am a Christ-hater, demon-possessed, moron, 'go to hell' by non-Christians. I refuse to tolerate it from superspiritual Christians. This is odd. It is said that the Christian Army is the only one that shoots its wounded (Chuck Girard and is struggle with alcohol, etc...As far as I know, Chuck his no longer backslidden and is a worshipper/singer in the church and world for the glory of God).

One of the scriptures used was this: Matt 11:19
"The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and ‘sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her actions.”
This helped you justify calling someone “nicer than God?” How so? This is a verse you use to show how the Edge should be more offensive to non-Christians?
Here’s another one: Mat. 13:55-57
“Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things? And they took offense at him. "
So this is the scripture you use, as a Christian, to stand against one of your own – another Christian? Much like the relatives and friends of Jesus in his own hometown stood against him? Edge offended you by befriending sinners and you use this scripture to make yourself feel alright about the animosity he stirred up in you? This is the scripture you used to justify standing against one of your own? How?
Luke 14:3-4
John 5:8-16
O.K. these two passages are about how Jesus offended the religious elite, the law followers, by healing on the Sabbath. And this is similar to your situation with Lt. Edge how?
Mat. 10:14 – O.K. So if someone one won't listen to you, leave them alone. I’m all for that!
Mat. 15:12-14
Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11What goes into a man's mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.’ Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
Again, Jesus offends the religious elite by trashing their rules and regulations. I’m still not seeing the comparison.
O.K. Erin, if even one of those verses is about being offensive to sinners, you let me know. So far, I’ve seen a bunch of verses that look like they mean the opposite of what you think they mean. If you have some point to make about the Edge based on these scriptures, let’s see it. Otherwise, I see smoke and mirrors. Worse than that, I see a very good counter argument contained in the very verses you think support you!

Much of what is posted around here is in that realm... quite a number of our threads read like soap opera recaps...godrulz said:
Because it's more fun for some Christians to tear each other to pieces than to deal with people like me who stand as a witness to the ineffectiveness of their religion.

She didn't ask that. She asked specifically about atheists.
