Since I can’t quote a locked thread I’ll just quote you saying this:
“No, I'm reading it in context. And you're trying to justify men having sex outside of marriage. Wow.”
Your accusations are completely unfounded and your claim that I’m trying to justify men having sex outside of marriage is a personal attack, you also claim that I’m against law, that’s also totally unfounded. Claims like the ones you made was derailing and smeared my person. You kept asking the same questions and accused me of all kinds of things before I came to the conclusion that you are only trying to attack my person, in what I suppose is an attempt to provoke me and derail the debate.
You keep saying that you are trying to understand but still you constantly say that I represent or support things I don’t support.
Is it possible to consider letting this go and move forward?
A wise teacher I had gave us an assignment to write a letter to someone who had offended us....
Our letter could address what was angering us but it couldn't say "You hurt/angered me when YOU did such and such"....instead we had to phrase it in a way that we took responsibility for our own actions/reactions/perceptions in response to that person.
So instead of You hurt me....it says...I was hurt by what I may have perceived as antagonistic or intentional.....I welcome any suggestions you may have and if I am in disagreement with it I will purpose to respect your thoughts regardless. I will be honest but in a respectful way.
This isn't exactly the letter I wrote but similar.
Oh I forgot....she had us write a letter to someone who offended us...then she read it and gave it back with instructions on how we should communicate.
