Charles - I certainly understand that. I haven’t used the word ridicule. I do not agree with Phillips, on this issue. I merely wonder if we can take this too far. Me? I don’t have so many friends that I can afford to cut them off for fairly harmless differences of opinion. Vlaam der blaam is one thing. If a friend of mine turned out to be a nazi, neo or otherwise, I would throw them under the bus. If they turned out to believe in creationism, I think I could bear with them unless they were in control of some process by which they could impose these beliefs on others. Is Ms. Phillips in that position or advocating the like? I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before. I find out when I ask questions.
