Don't be disappointed in me Orthodox6. You sounded like you didn't get a response that you wanted.
You stated: (I assumed that everyone here would think poorly of the concepts espoused by such people.)
What do you mean by that comment?
It sounded like you thought we were too soft. When a person says they assumed somebody would say or think such and such, it sounds like they are disappointed with what they heard. That's why I responded the way I did. It sounded like you were hoping for responses of a more severe condemnation. And it sounded like you were expressing a "character judgement" yourself....on our responses of mercy. That's why I wrote: What did you want to hear?? Burn these b--strds alive?
These people are in the midst of evil. But, so was St. Cyprian when he commanded the demons. He escaped satan's trap. I hope that ALL these people will be able to escape the trap they're in now. It would be a great defeat for the evil one.
I hope you feel better. Please don't be upset.
