I think I may have a couple of Brownie points on the list for my past
efforts, which I am using up to reply to this.
I would have replied off list, but the chances are had I done so, I would
have been more colourful with my language. So this is arguably nicer.

Rev , seems to me as a Christian, that you missed a couple of lectures in
that seminary. You just had to reply didn't you ... instead of letting it
go.

First you want to have nasty things happen to someones head.

Second, you seem to have taken a personal crusade against Zeffie, when in
fact as a christian, should you not turn the other cheek and forgive the
person, you are in fact directing your abuse at.

Third, it really is un-christian to tell anyone they have a macho ego. It
surely can never be deemed to be charitable to insult another person. ( I
know I have a macho ego, I dont need you to tell me)

Fourth however you couch the sentance , telling people to shut up indicates
to me that you have a desire for control, which is unhealthy. You really
have to let people be who they are and love them for who they are and not
try to exert your will.

Fifth Seems like your ego needs the last word to me.

In conclusion as a man of god , do you think maybe you should reflect upon
your chosen vocation.

As for me, I aint going to heaven and know I am one nasty piece of work and
something of a  lost cause.
Yes I really am an English asshole, but then I know who I am.

ps Have you ever seriously considered  a career in politics, might be just
up your street.

Love you Revie Baby ...
