Re: Re: Beliefs and Cleansing- Ira

Ira,

Dale's post was given a lot of thought, and contained a lot of information

but I, too, thought it came down on you a bit hard. In Dale's defense, this

is not his usual way of handling a questioning mind. I've been here long

enough to know. He is usually very kind, regardless of how strongly he may

disagree. I have never seen him say anything personal about anyone's

motives, etc. I don't think he responded to you this way because you

deserved it. We all have days when we are perhaps not reacting the way we

would if we were in our best frame of mind, under less stress, feeling

better, or whatever. Dale's opinion, although sometimes different from mine

(and sometimes not) is one I have always counted on to be thoughtful and

respectful. I can understand your feeling a bit put-off ( OK, maybe a

little angry, which on closer investigation usually arises from hurt

feelings, though we are often loathe to admit it), but stick around. I

still believe Dale respects anyone's search for truth.

Debra
